Today i wanted to have a freewrite about the prompt history . It was so timing that there will be a very important event that will be happening tomorrow here in the Philippines as part of the history. The official repatriation of the Balanggiga bells. The three Balangiga bells are originally part of the St. Lorenzo Church located in Eastern Samar , Philippines. But during the war between America and Philippines , the US Army took the three bells as their trophies for the war. The smallest of the bells stayed in US Army based in South Korea , while the other two in Cheyenne Wyoming , USA. Despite of that history, because of the help of America's war veterans , the repartriation became possible . On december 11 , 2018 ,the three bells already arrived at Villamor Airbase , Philippines . And again, tomorrow, December 15, 2018 will be the official return to its original place which is in Balangiga Church in Eastern Samar Philippines. According to the US ambassador to the Philippines, this special event , only means that there is beautiful friendship now between USA and Philippines.
