Maybe what my mother shared with me while she was still alive can be taken as a warning to our current government and military. She grew up in Zamboanga city and years before Japan occupied the Philippines, as a local she was familiar with what’s happening in the barrio, the poblacion or tiangue (public market) and faces or personalities she interacts there either as a customer buying provisions like rice, sugar, dried fish and other typical grocery items or acquaintances. She would mention the presence of quite a bit of “aliens” from other countries like China who would initially stay indoors with their kin’s, learn the local dialect and few months later will start working as a ‘tindero’ (like a retail sales staff person) in local stores owned by their kin’s. There were also Japanese men doing similar ‘tindero’ work and my mom fondly remembered them being a ‘suki’ (regular customer) of theirs. When the Japanese forces entered Zamboanga, my mom together with other members of her family sought refuge in the mountains and jungles of Zamboanga peninsula. My father on the other hand being a soldier joined the guerrilla forces but later on became a POW. My mom and her family returned to her barrio when she heard that the Japanese imperial forces have secured Zamboanga completely and fighting was now confined either in the mountains against the guerrillas or outlying towns. Because it was now considered peace time, most civilians like my mom were able to visit the ‘tiangues’ again to get provisions though sometimes under suspicion by Japanese soldiers that they might be spying for the guerrillas. And this is where one day she found out the shocking truth while in the poblacion, she was able to meet again the Japanese ‘tindero’ she was a regular ‘suki’ but he was no longer working as one but smartly dressed as a Japanese imperial soldier with what my mom fondly remembered with the rank of ‘tenyiente’ or Lieutenant. Long before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and subsequently attacked and occupied the Philippines, they were already there, we simply were not smart enough to recognize and understand what their true intentions were. These days we can ask ourselves the same question, which particular nationality/ies from other countries are predominantly present and economically, financially, physically active and influential in every aspect of our country, whether business, government, economy, etc.? We should learn from our past history.

This is the US propaganda movie. Japan didn’t invade Philippines, but liberated it from the US who betrayed it after a war against Spain and colonized, after Pearl Harbor attack. Then Philippine got independent in 1943 without the US.

It was bait and switch. Bait with the truth, then switch to the lies. The truth is that the Filipinos cheered and welcomed their honorable Asian liberators, glad to see the western occupiers of their country chased out. Unlike the bankster-controlled western forces, Japan treated the Filipinos like brothers, with respect, allowing and encouraging complete local autonomy.

My Grandfather joined Phil Scout in 1914 and was assigned at Augur Barracks in Jolo Sulu. He was Disharge in 1919 and was called back to service in 1940. He fought in Bataan and was able to escape during Death March and joined the guerillas in Luzon. Survived the War and died year 1976. I did not had the chance to hear his stories about the War since I am just 4 yrs. old when he died. All the stories about him and the War all came from my Lola, Uncles and my mother. I have with me for safekeeping his Documents as a soldier. Unfortunately I was not able to retrieve from our ancestral house in the province the American Flag & Bronze Plaque given to him when he died.
