Valeriano Abello : ウィキペディア英語版 | Valeriano Abello Valeriano Ibañez Abello (1913-2000) was a Filipino who was given the Philippine Legion of Honor for his efforts during WWII to aid American troops against the Japanese. He is most remembered today in Boy Scouting literature. ==Battle of Leyte==
During the United States Navy's assault on 17–20 October 1944 in the Battle of Leyte, Abello (aged 29), accompanied by Antero Junio and Vicente Tiston, successfully established communication with a warship using his knowledge of semaphore, learned in youth as a Boy Scout of Troop 11, Leyte, Boy Scouts of America. Abello identified himself "Boy Scouts of America", paddled out by bangkâ (outrigger canoe), was taken aboard ship 467, and provided information for pinpointing Japanese installations and diverting bombardment away from populated areas of Tolosa.〔Other places got bombarded indiscriminately. Hundreds reportedly died in the town of Dulag, Leyte.〕 Abello's intrepid action made good copy for war correspondents on board ship. Abello was given the Philippine Legion of Honor (Legionnaire rank) by Pres. Ramon Magsaysay, in 1956.〔(Briefer on the Philippine Legion of Honor ), www.gov.ph〕
