Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Pedro Brancia Yeto (March 3, 1917 - March 1, 2004) was a lieutenant assigned to the U.S. Signal Corps during World War II. He had set up a wireless radio relay station on this island which lies 10°24’44.75"N 122°33’57.14”E between Guimaras Island and Guiuanon Island on the Province of Panay in the Republic of the Philippines. The natives called it "isla ni Yeto" referring to the place being used by the soldiers fighting against the Japanese invaders at that time and under the command of Lt. P. B. Yeto. It served the purpose of relaying messages to American submarines nearby for rescuing downed American pilots.
