The Battle of Ising stopped the invading Japanese imperial forces from Agusan to reinforce their beleaguered colleagues in Davao City has two standouts: Col. Claro Laureta, head of the 107th Guerrilla Division, and Lt. Col. Saturnino Silva. It took place in Carmen, Davao del Norte.
Prior to the conflict, Lt. Col. Silva, then 30 years old and still unattached, joined the United States Army as a private in April 1941, seven months before World War II broke out. For Filipinos to be able to enlist, the US Army conducted mass naturalization in 1943. Over 2,000 Filipinos acquired American citizenship, including Silva. As a naturalized American, he was assigned to the newly organized 1st Filipino Battalion.
The principal mission of the unit was to train radio operators to be sent on missions, principally the forming of coast watcher stations and monitoring sea lanes in the Philippine archipelago. Enemy ships spotted during reconnaissance were promptly relayed to the US Navy, which sent bombers to sink them.
Lt. Col. Silva’s ‘marriage’ to Priscilla, for decades, has been a focus of research. Early accounts say they married in Australia but there is no document backing this. Another version says they were married by Fr. Conrad Cote, PME, a Canadian priest assigned in Davao. But the records at San Pedro Cathedral in Davao City and at the Foreign Mission Society of Quebec in Quebec, Canada, do not offer clues to confirm the matrimony.
