Hi there... I was reading your input on the WWII and i must say that i'm really impressed with your hard works in making your project a successful one. Anyway, i grow with my grandfather telling us about his life during the war. although i didn't manage to know it all, i kinda gathered that it was almost his group that captured Yamashita...He belongs to the 66th Infantry and that time that my

Hi Ryan,Thanks so much for clarifying this matter. Now it makes sense. And I must say that I admire your initiative in working on this project. Like you, I hope that other young people from other provinces will follow your example and likewise document the heroism of the WW II veterans in their localities. FYI, I plan to upload your comment in the main page pala. Again, thanks for clarifying the

to trublue: making the docu is a bittersweet experience. you find relics of ww2 sold to junkshops and you also find people cherishing it; you come face to face with the veteran heroes themselves in their rural homes still strong and happy, at other times you reach their place only to know they've just died days or a couple of months ago...they really deserve their "benefits" which are not really

Ryan - agree w/u that these FilVetsbe fully compensated for their gallant contributions here and the U.S. It's appalling to see some of these veterans die one by one w/out seeing even a dime of what was promised them by Uncle Sam. At times you wonder why "naimot ni Uncle Sam" yet billions of $$$ is still being spent in Iraq.Off-topic: are u related to Sandy and Lolita?Goodhealth.....

Thank you for spurring discussions about the documentary we are completing, and for putting it in your blog. Yes, maybe the documentary focuses on Benguet/Baguio veterans because of the reasons you've surmised and also because of the following reasons:a) the docu entitled: "Our Igorot Fathers, the Heroes: The Untold Story of the 66th Infantry Regiment USAFIP, NL" was initially thought of as our (

Don't you find it sad that History books hardly mention the Cordi? I mean... the Cordi was the lst "bastion" of the Japanese... but it's not written in any history books. I was informed that Several prominent Igoys aided the first Philippine Republic that's why Aguinaldo was able to escape to Cagayan(?) Don't know if it's true. In case it were, they deserve recognition. =)

Hi Nats,I think Yamashita was captured in Kiangan Ifugao kasi meron silang war memorial doon sa site where he surrendered yata. But I'm not 100 sure.Based on your comment, baka naman pala most of the fighting in the Cordilleras happened in Benguet so Benguet was especially mentioned by the video producers. Now it is starting to make sense.Hi Kayni,Wow, I'm sure that's a very interesting thesis.

I agree with Nats. I wrote my thesis on WWII Guerilla Fighters, and I interviewed a few living former guerilla fighters who live currently in the US. Unfortunately, they're in their 80s and 90s but still fighting for the recognition they've always yearned for. I interviewed fighters from Abra, Ilocos, Sagada, Bontoc, Tarlac etc. My sole inspiration for this thesis is my grandfather, he was a

I have tried to asked some veterans here in Kalinga and they say the war effort on the cordilleras is an all filipino and american efforts...Remember that Yamashitas route of escape is in the cordilleras, from ifugao..If i was not mistaken he was captured only in benguet..Kung indi man nagkabaw daytoy nga lakay nga kunana dagiti tao metlang nga nakigubat diay benguet ket adu nga ili, adda taga
