February 1945: The Rape of Manila!

[holdencaulfield]

These wartime memories really need to be remembered.

Was in Bataan yesterday and I really appreciated the memorial shrine honoring the Battle and Fall of Bataan.

It's not enough to remember though, there should always be action connected to it - hopefully it inspires nationalism and a desire to bring back the glory of this nation, in whatever small way an individual can contribute.

wala namang pahalaga mga tao diyan. tagal ko ng dinadaanan nung "battle of tuol pocket" marker. di man lang mabigyan ng isang disenteng commemorative monument kahit maliit lang basta maayos. isa lang yan sa sandamakmak na markers, alam ko yung iba nasa liblib tulad niyang tuol marker na inilabas lang sa kalsada.
sa erpat at mga lolo ko lang nalaman yung mga naipit sa loob ng fort santiago. yung mga nalulunod sa dungeons na malapit sa pasig pag high-tide. yung mga kinatay sa pgh, at yung tuwa nilang makita mga kanong nag mamartsa sa kalye azcarraga (c.m. recto) namimigay ng tsokolate, victory joe, peace sign atbp.

wala naman tayong kuwentang paalalahanan eh. para que?
kilala niyo pa ba si honorio lopez at kung saan siya dating nakatira?
natanung ko lang.

If we don’t learn from history then we're bound to repeat it. Doon sa China thread may mga naghahamon ng gera. Ang hindi nila alam pag nasakop pilipinas yung mga talunan paglalaruan ng occupying forces. Daming snuff film sa gera ng Croatia, tinutusok ng kutsilyo yung lalamunan, tapos lalaslasin paikot hanggang maputol ulo. Sa Mindanao, ganyan rin ginagawa ng mga rebeldeng moro sa mga sundalo natin.

Grabe brutality sa gera, people become animals. Kahit nung nanalo America sa Iraq, kita nyo itsura ng prisoners of war nila.

Tanungin niyo lang mga bata what they think of Japan. Mas positive ang tingin nila dahil sa anime at video games...

It's China's turn now, but they will not be successful.

And what do you expect our kids will grow up. Hate Japan to eternity like you Chinese?

Japan is our ally now, unlike your China.

yan din ang iniisp ko.
ewan ko lang kung may matapang pa kapag nakikita na nila or nararanasan na nila ang epekto ng gera.

Are we going to repeat it? Meaning we're going to invade other country and massacre their population like we did during WWII?

Who are you referring to as "we"? As far as I can remember we are the victims during those times.

Hahaha, if you don't get the essence of that" learning from history" quote then I will not argue with you.

Don't bother, I was merely pointing the disconnect of your post.
