Labanan sa Legazpi Historical Marker

A three sided structure on top of a circular base, to honor those who fought the Americans during 1900. This is something you pass by as its in the middle of the business district surrounded by malls and a converging point of five roads. The historical significance of the structure was to commemorate the Battle between the American forces under Gen Kobbe (to include naval troops) and Filipinos under the combined command of Col Antero Reyes and Col Pilgone (the former perhished during the battle). The statues on the structures though most of them are wearing "dough boy" helmets which would not be available 45 years down the road during WW 2. #RP
