In memory of Cpl Marcelino D. Serrano, Battery A , 86th Field Artillery BN, US Army, died in a POW camp, buried in a mass grave, but so grateful that his name is etched on the wall of the Manila American Cemetery. Thank you for all who gave their lives.

@@churizobilbao9336 Reason number one why the japanese attacked the Philippines in the first place is because the Americans tricked us on the Spanish-Americans negotiations the Spanish sold us to the Americans and built Military Bases here learn the history and you will know the real enimies just like the conflict between china and the west right now The west will make cannon fodders out of us Filipinos we have to stay neutral say NO! to American Military bases being built on our lands

About the internment camp Hazel Carlson was in: that camp was on the campus of the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas, located in the Sampaloc district of Manila. Founded on April 28, 1611, it is under the administration of the Dominican Fathers, and has the distinction of being the oldest university not just in the Philippines, but in the entire Asian region as well. It is a Pontifical University, which designates a university which was established or approved directly by the Holy See. In UST's case, this distinction was made by Pope Leo XIII in 1902. The internment camp at UST was in operation from January of 1942 to the liberation of Manila in February of 1945. In total, the camp had more than 7000 prisoners, crammed into an area of 48 acres. The conditions there were terrible, with food and sanitation inadequate for the population of the camp. Some of the other prisoners were transferred to the internment camp in Los Baños, Laguna (on the grounds of what was then the University of the Philippines College og Agriculture, now part of the University of the Philippines, Los Baños, which was liberated on February 23, 1945 by men of the 11th Airborne Division and Filipino guerrillas) and many males prisoners were crammed in those notorious Japanese "hell ships like what happened to Mrs. Carlson's husband, to be sent to Japan as slave labor there. When the camp was liberated on February 3, 1945, many of the prisoners were severely malnourished, and many others were in serious to critical condition due to illness. In total, 390 people died there, including Mrs. Carlson, killed in that February 7 artillery barrage by Japanese artillery when Douglas McArthur visited the camp.

[@suskagusip1036]

There were many schools, universities and mansions that were made as camp for the POW by the Japs. Some they made it as their torture dungeon. Iloilo City has many of them. My high school and some universities and the famous Lizares mansion were one of them. The family couldn't take their atrocities. Left and sold their mansion now owned by a private school. We heard eerie sounds and howling in our school. No one wants to stay after 5pm. All of us are running out after the bell rang. My father before he passed went one more time to see his high school. So many memories in his mind. His is the FilAm war and WW II. Mine is the howling we heard during science class. Most likely it's the Filipinos they tortured. Many guirellas that sided with the Americans. There's also one mansion the Japs avoided to bomb. The Lopez mansion shaped like a boat. They were so amazed of the architecture that they saved it. See the many mansions in Iloilo City. Many were occupied by them Japs only a few were saved.

There's also an American cemetery in Iloilo City. Thank you for sharing this to everyone. I hope many families will come to visit your families here. They're fallen but not forgotten. I have family members that have served with the Americans during WW II but we took them and buried them to our own public cemeteries.

I love the fact that they deliberately forgot the thousands of "Filipino, Australian, New Zealander and other allied servicemen lying besides their American comrades". Those people also died for the US. Especially the Filipino. They were dragged in this war because the US took their freedom from them during the Filipino-American War.

[@victoryjav]

my god to the Filipinos in these comments praising our colonizers. It is commendable for these soldiers to fight since its their duty but it wasnt for the Fiipinos. They were fighting because the Philippines was a US military base, a resource country to them. They were protecting their military resource. It was not because they cared about our people's freedom. If it wasn't for their war against Japan, we would still be a US colony. We shouldnt put that country on a pedestal after they conquered us and then having wars with Japan and making the Ph and other colonies their playground in WW2. They thrashed Manila and we didn't get support until towards the end of the war. They didnt even grant freedom until after the war when the Ph was already used and abused. We are victims of both countries.
