Nicanor Trajano Tiongson

Nicanor Trajano Tiongson was a member of the HUKBALAHAP (Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapon) in Nueva Ecija. He used the pseudonym Mariano Leongson.

HUKBALAHAP consists mostly of poor peasants of Central Luzon headed by their Supremo, Luis Taruc of San Luis, Pampanga. They used gerilla warfare in fighting the Japanese soldiers occupying the Philippines.

(Note: The account of his participation in the Huk rebellion was based on the memories of his immediate family members. Shall you have any reference to support this and to add details in his involvement in the rebellion, the profile manager will be very grateful if you will share it with us.)

He was the first born son of Don Arsenio Tiongson and Doña Potenciana Trajano, and was married to Eugenia Tumale.
