I am searching for the genealogy of my mother's WWII friend, Capt. Tommy Cabangbang. Tommy was a pilot; a member of USA Air Force Far East. He was on Bataan and received the Silver Star for gallantry there. He was wounded and was my mother's patient in the Malinta Tunnel Hospital on Corregidor. He was taken POW when Corregidor fell, he escaped from the Japanese and became a guerilla. Then he made his way to Bohol and from there to Australia where he reconnected with the army. He returned to the Philippines and set up a nation wide network to report on the Japanese. After the Philippines were liberated, Tommy was in the US for more flight training. He returned to the Philippines where he was elected to the legislature and was respected legislator.

I would very much like to have Tommy's genealogy to go with his history and the photo portrait he had taken in 1945, of himself in uniform, and signed to my mother.
