Pimentel urges stronger action to recover Balangiga bells, other art treasures

GMA News, (February 2, 2009)
Philippine Senator Pimentel has promoted more aggressive action in  
the recovery of the Balangiga bells, a cultural treasure taken by  
Americans when they occupied the city in 1902. He has also called for  
the relevant government agencies, including the National Historical  
Commission and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, to  
proactively seek out and protect sites of historical and cultural  
significance to prevent further destruction of important artefacts.
