One of the greatest and largest Naval Battles ever including WWII was fought there not to far from where that earthquake struck.

The Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Samar.

Yeah I've walked through that hallowed ground many times. The US “only” lost about 14,000 the Japanese 50-100k. The Japanese bunkers are still there, the natives think the area is haunted and usually wont go with me..
