While tramping around Middleside, I noticed this inscription on part of a concrete drainage system. "Constructed Nov 2, 1931. By Gang 17" Who were Gang 17? I am guessing this may have been done by Bilibid labor since the date is during Malinta Tunnel construction when they were on the island. Were they random groups of day labor or organized into gangs?

Most likely. The last Bilibid Prisoners doing labor and construction work left the island on December 1941, just before the actual shooting happened.
