The search for missing Binalatongan bell is on!
IF you wan to earn P100,000 cold cash, take the challenge of the Binalatongan Historical and Cultural Association (BHCA) in San Carlos City.
Marilou Reyes, president of BHCA, said a P100,000 cash reward is being offered by BHCA to anyone who can help locate the missing 300-year old bell.
According to Dr. Guido Tiong, one of the organizers of BCHA, it was in year 1778 when the bell was transferred to a big raft to the present Saint Dominic Church when the bell fell and sank to the deep San Juan River.
He said the bell has been missing for almost three hundred years.
The late Fr. Mariano Madrid had donated P3,000.00 to the Knight of Columbus Binalatongan Assembly as seed money for efforts to recover the bell.
Dr. Ely Ouano, a Cebuano who now lives in Australia, also donated a metal detector worth P70,000 in 2016 to find the bell in the river.
Binalatongan was the name of the town that became San Carlos in 1780 on the order of King Carlos III of Spain.
The missing bell of Binalatongan has since become the symbol of San Carlos. (Nora Dominguez)
