Bolomen Stories of the Civilian Resistance in Wartime Ilocos Norde Description: Wherever there were Japanese, there was a silent, secret society that emerged from the forest, the farms, the school buildings, and shops. Ordinary men of all ages, many barely in their teens, were recruited in hushed tones into cvilian para-millitary units called Bolo Batalions. With no guns, little training, and a fierce devotion to their beloved Amianan, they defied the Japanese Imperial Army with all the courage they could muster. Without them, the guerrillas would have all been wiped out." This book records some of the activities of the Bolomen, including but not limited to the receipt and subsequent transport of 6 tons of arms and supplies in what is believed to be the first suplly landing by submarine in North Luzon.
