Priceless knowledge. He really should write a book.

[@IslaPamilya]

I want to read a book of this japanese soldier Hiro Onoda, i know he write one: No surrender: My Thirty-Year War

[@normananderson1476]

Mr. Felix Cata-al is a national treasure, his collection is the best I’ve ever seen

[@IslaPamilya]

This is the first museum I have visited in the Philippines, if there is an opportunity I would love to see more because I like museums but this collection is very impressive especially when you consider that it is private.

[@FlyFisherGolfing]

Love listening to tatay’s stories he has wealth of knowledge about war history

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank You for comment! We wish Mr. Felix much health and 100 years of life.

[@joeblow3939]

That was very interesting and yet painful at the same time. Back in the 60's a friend of my dad's told us about how he worked with Glenn Curtis and had developed the synchronization of guns shooting threw the props on plains. He had suggested rather than doing tests over land and destroying the props, do it over water. This development took place in Hammondsport NY on Keuka Lake. The man who thought of how to overcome this problem, his name is Doug Havens. He later became a machine shop specialist for Ingersoll Rand in Painted Post NY.

[@RamonLerma]

Very cool stuff. Wow what a collection he has. Loved your video!

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank you so much and yes, this is an amazing place with an amazing owner.

[@davidthacker3213]

My dad was in World War Two. He is ninety three years old. He tells me a lot of stories about the war !

[@IslaPamilya]

My grandfather also fought in the WW II, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to talk to him about it. He died when I was a few years old.

[@karl5536]

Wow very interesting...

Thanks for comment Karl

[@stevekulbacki5238]

This museum is fascinating. The history here is priceless.

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank you for visiting 😊

[@peggysmith5202]

So very cool. This needs to go viral. I've sent to 8 others

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank You so much!

[@e.g.7977]

That's amazing. I've always been fascinated with WWII. Thanks for documenting this. I would love to visit this museum.

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank you for watching.

[@BeerBikes]

Thanks Matt, very much appreciate the tour and interview. What an amazing man, very knowledgeable, great historian and an amazing collection! I hope he is passing on his knowledge and stories to his children. I would've never guess such an amazing place exist in that area. I hope his museum is protected and preserved by the city or government. Thanks again guys, not skipping any ads even that Apple ad. Cheers brah and Peace!

[@IslaPamilya]

Similarly, I knew nothing about the place and we went there quite spontaneously. Therefore, quite a big jaw drop at the site, I would sit there all day listening to Mr. Felix's stories. We wish Mr. Felix much health and 100 years of life. Cheers 🍻 and take care!

[@joem1070]

My dad was a 2nd LT sent in 6 months before the US returned. His speciality was communications and told me stories of the fierce Filipino soldiers and how they could hack their way thru the bush with cheap sandals. Because of his service there he came back with trench foot, PTSD, a Bronze, Silver star, and some serious scars from 2 purple hearts. His stories of how wonderful the Pinoys were got me to visit the RP in 2003 and now retired, spend 6 months a year there. Admire the hard working Pinoys.

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank You for sharing, many people don't know about the shared bloodshed of Filipinos and Americans. My grandfather also fought in the WW II, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to talk to him about it. He died when I was a few years old.

[@bwnco]

Very cool, my dad was there to after battle for Okinawa.

[@craigwhitham6680]

Good job Matt asking questions....excellent elderly tour guide who cheerfully explained everything about the old japanese weapons etc....hopefully baby boy will get to visit the museum when he's older because he will think it's really cool 👶😎☝️👍👏

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank Yo so much! Anton already like to grab everything there 😆 Most of the time, Maricar had to take him outside.

[@craigwhitham6680]

[@benitachan2188]

A great video Matt, that you supporting the military and providing this much knowledgeable information on WW2. Proud daughter of Filipino Dad serving the US Army during WW2, rest in peace DAD🙏🏼❤️

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank You so much! My grandfather also fought in the WW II, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to talk to him about it. He died when I was a few years old, he was an officer in the cavalry.

[@bwnco]

One of reasons I want to go to Filipines. My dad fought there in world war 2. I worked with a guy was on Baatan death march. My dad loved the filipino freedom fighters!

[@IslaPamilya]

IF You have chance You should visit Felix museum if Youre here, this guy had a lot of cool stories to tell.

[@budwhite3570]

I have really enjoyed this video, me and my wife Flordeliza, who came from Cebu three and a half years ago, over here to the southern Oregon USA coast where we met, we enjoy your videos, but this one stands out cause I am myself a war veteran and have collected military items and history books over the years, I mean, what alot of knowledge Mr. Cata-al has, he really knows his history on world weapons, and what a great collection for sharing with others.

[@IslaPamilya]

Thanks very much for your comment! Mr Felix has great knowledge and passion without him a visit to this museum is not the same.

[@daisyrose8056]

What an amazing place! Very educational video. Great job Matt! I can’t wait to visit this place..it reminds me what my mom told me about WW2 era while she was growing up, hiding in CDO/Misamis Oriental caves from the Japanese.

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank You so much Daisy, the stories of our parents and grandparents are the best source of first-hand information, it is a pity that when their time comes to an end the picture of history will be obliterated over time and made up to whatever is convenient for the current propaganda.

[@kevinbutcher995]

Hi guys.. great vlog I have spent time in Negros ( my ex wife was from there but lets not go there ) anyway there are still many stories of hidden treasure of Yamashita all around Negros much of which is booby trapped...... Im glad you have documented this as so much of this history is being lost with each generation.. Maybe you can make more of these ? Love your work guys.

[@IslaPamilya]

Yamashita's gold is just an amazing story, Part of it was found by Marcos, a lot was taken by the CIA but surely there are some caches yet to be found. if there is an opportunity, of course, I will record something on a similar topic.

[@kevinbutcher995]

@@IslaPamilya It would appear there is much more to the Yamashita story and amount of treasure ( not just gold ) than anyone knows and of course if the government or CIA took what ever was found then people aren't going to say anything if they find some.... This is an interesting story for sure and over time lips are starting to loosen up and stories are coming out, even I am aware of someone came into some wealth 50 odd years ago in Western Occidental and no one knows where it came from... Josh Gates Yamashitas gold is an interesting watch ...sorry that link was wrong just search online for josh gates or expedition unknown... and Yamashita

[@IslaPamilya]

Thanks Kevin i will watche it for sure!

[@olavlaupsa490]

Fantastic man. I would never have gotten out of that place before they closed. Seen movies and read stories before, but this is the real deal. Matt maybe you should consider diving in the bay of Leyte if you want to experience wrecks. I think the one in the Sulu sea might be too deep down.

[@IslaPamilya]

Similarly, I only went out because Maricar was hungry. If I can afford it, I'll dive any wreck in the Philippines, I'm a bit of a technical diver, so it's not a problem for me to go 60-70m deep with the propper buddy.

[@michaelwest2635]

Lol the us uniforms are all jacked up guys…. No worries though. He takes care of old relics. It’s basically word of mouth

[@bigkw1568]

America will always have deep ties to the Philippines 🇵🇭... My Grandfather fought side by side with Filipino people .. He always said the Fighting of the Filipino people was 2nd to nobody ...

[@bigkw1568]

Do a Vlog on the Baton death march..

[@IslaPamilya]

Thank You for sharing, many people don't know about the shared bloodshed of Filipinos and Americans. My grandfather also fought in the WW II, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to talk to him about it. He died when I was a few years old.

[@bigkw1568]

Please tell Mr Felix I appreciate him for preserving this history .. I would enjoy hearing him cover the Baton death march .. All history should be preserved and Mr Felix is a very knowledgeable man .. Thank you again .. That's one heck of a collection ... Sending love from America 🇺🇸 and as Alway Long live the Philippines 🇵🇭..
