Japanese Era
During the Japanese occupation, Japanese
forces landed in the place using their destroyers, carriers
and submarines. Real through was just a fiddle camp compared
to that of Infanta where a Japanese garrison was established
( now Infanta Central School). At first, the erstwhile
Japanese rulers employed psychological and subtle persuasion
among the inhabitants to win them to their side but failed.
Education among the Filipino children about the Japanese
Culture was introduced while Filipino guerillas were in
the forest waging sporadic attacks and ambushed on the
Japanese soldiers.
But on October 26, 1944, the American
forces came to the place and began bombing the pier, school
Tignoan Bridge and other facilities installed by the Japanese
Army. From then on the guerillas continuously attacked
the enemy forces with the help of the organized regimen
assigned in the area. The guerilla forces present in the
area included the Hunters - ROTC, Markings guerillas and
the First Anderson Battalion. The latter had its campon
Masagana, General Nakar formly part of Infanta where three
(3) consecutive landings of (3) submarines carrying arms,
ammunitions, clothing, foods and reinforcements occurred.In
1945, it was in Real where artillery supports to advancing
aalied forces at Agos River were stationed. It was in
the latter part of 1945 that the Japanese Forces all over
Infanta-Real area surrendered to the American forces.
