After 117 years, the three Balangiga bells looted by US soldiers are home.
The C-130 plane that transported the bells touched down at Villanor Air Base at 10:47 a.m. on Tuesday.
First bell taken out from the crate was the smallest one that came from a US Army base in South Korea. @TheManilaTimes pic.twitter.com/6jTwDg1LOP
