@@shibby_travels thanks Ivy, I enjoyed your evening discussion of the US - Phil history. Read Col Fredrick Funston’s biography, he was the US Army officer who captured President Aguinaldo. His capture was in large part due to Filipino locals . Having personally operated with the AFP in Luzon chasing the NPA and later Abu Sayyaf in Mindanao. As good as we thought we were as military soldiers a large part of our success was due to the local Filipinos who sided with the ‘Kano’s’ and assisted in their capture.

@ Oh good to know! Will look it up!

[@Ncollins99]

As much as we revere President Aquinaldo, he was given up by the local people of Zamboanga. Much like the locals helped us find the NPA and later the guerrila fighters in Mindanao.

@ if you really like Philippine WWII history read, ‘Rampage’ by James Scott, very cheap used on Amazon.

Don't you know that whale sharks are regularly spotted all over Cebu waters? They were spotted often around Mactan Islands, Malapascua Island, Pescador Island (off Moalboal), Dalaguete, Alcoy, Liloan, etc.

@@lionhearted1969 thanks, and given the short period of time I was on Cebu I didn’t know that fact. Thanks again
