On to other things, did you know that the Philippines served as a battleground for the U.S. in WWII? Well, now you know. The Americans did not want the war to reach their mainland so they actually used the Philippines and made the people there believe that they were helping out of sincerity. Later though when the war was over, they acted as if they forgot what the Filipinos did for them... I didn't like that one bit. But heres the nice part:
At least Hollywood if not Washington remembers some of the valuable and well as heroic contributions of Filipino fighting men and women during World War II. The new Hollywood movie out in theaters early this August from Miramax films is about a little-known Army Rangers rescue mission in Cabanatuan, Philippines. With the help of Filipino guerillas led by Captain Juan Pajota (Filipino actor Cesar Montano plays Capt. Pajota in the film), Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci and his men forged deep inside enemy territory to rescue 500 survivors of the Bataan Death March, from the infamous Cabanatuan Japanese POW Camp.
The film is based in part on the novel by author Hampton Sides, titled Ghost Soldiers. In this well-researched and fascinating book Sides describes in riveting detail how a group of brash Army Rangers risked their lives to rescue the last remaining soldiers of the Bataan Death March from the Japanese POW camp. The rescue mission, which was made up of approximately 200 American Rangers and 150 Filipino Guerillas, is sadly just one of the many shining moments of courage and valor that has been, for the most part, forgotten by both Filipinos and Americans alike.
In one of the many glowing reviews of Side's book, reviewer Alissa Cunningham notes that "heroes can be found everywhere" from Colonel Mucci, who lead the operation, to Filipina "Clara Fuentes, who risked her life to smuggle information, food, and items to the prisoners" inside the camp.
The movie and the book should provide a boost to our collective "Pinoy self-esteem" that of late has been hammered by all sorts of unpleasant events back home.
