520 _a"Unknown to many, the victory at Bessang Pass was the most dramatic victory scored by Filipino guerrillas against the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II that forced Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, the famed "Tiger of Malaya," to surrender, liberating northern Luzon from the Japanese invaders and eventually ending the war in the Pacific." - From the Foreword by Voltaire T. Gazmin, Secretary, Department of National Defense
