After 117 years, the three Balangiga bells looted by US soldiers are home.

The C-130 plane that transported the bells touched down at Villanor Air Base at 10:47 a.m. on Tuesday.

Two of the bells were flown from Wyoming while the third came from South Korea.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim led the handover ceremony at the Villamor Air Base. DEMPSEY REYES
