American Occupation
During the American Occupation in the Philippines, the town of Malaueg is at the state of also being a favorite spot for the Americans. During the Spanish-American war, the town was almost destroyed that the soldiers used its towering mountains to hide their ammunition and dug some trenches. The Authorities are very protective to the condition of the church during war but the Parish Priest in the town was able to say that the Church was very strong enough and later believed indestructible.

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or occupation:
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
