Many Filipinos remember General MacArthur, but have largely forgotten General Wainwright.. The Philippines awarded him the medal of valor, the philippine army highest honor (MacArthur was the other foreigner who got the award). However, unlike MacArthur, Wainwright stayed with his troops and fought until the end.

@darkflamemaster6541 11 ай бұрын

That's because the US government original plan was to abandoned the Philippines when the IJ forces invasion begun. MacArthur refuse and try to resist the invasion but when he realize his resistance is futile he follow the original plan he receives criticism from the media that if he had abandon the Philippines early there will only be few loses of US troops. And US original strategic island plan was to land in Formosa island (Taiwan) to support the Chinese rather than the Filipino because it has more advantage being closer to Japan. If it wasn't for MacArthur being a Head in the Asiatic fleet and his promised to return in the Philippines then we will suffered the Japanese occupation more than we ever did in this timeline. This shows how US truly don't care of the Philippines but their own interest but MacArthur fulfilled his promises. He may be the US hated ww2 general for now because of his disobedient nature calling him the Trump of the US forces. But he saved the Filipino more than the entire Allies did in ww2 which in my opinion he truly deserve the Philippine medal of Valor.

@@nick.v.g yes we study ww2 especially the japanese occupation in detail. We studied the fall of bataan and corregidor though not in great detail like mentioning strategies, battle formations, etc. In fact, to ensure that those battles were never forgotten, the day bataan fell was marked as the Day of Valor and considered national holiday. The Japanese atrocities were also mentioned, especially the comfort women, kempeitai, etc. The continued struggle by not only the guerrillas but also ordinary filipino civilians, MacArthur's "I shall return" was also emphasized and his subsiquent fulfillment of his promise by landing in Tacloban, Leyte and the liberation of the Philippines. Most of the Filipinos still see MacArthur as hero though I do admit we weren't taught about MacArthur's mistakes and how narcissistic he is. And our view about Japanese people? Most of us see them nowadays in a greater light, in fact, many love Japan, including me as I want to visit the country one day. Plus Japan now is so different from Imperial Japan of the past. We even see them as allies as what worries us nowadays is freaking China with there ambitions on Taiwan and their continued bullying and occupations of OUR islands in the West Philippine Sea. If the literal powder keg that was Taiwan and South China Sea/WPS were lit, we'll see our islands as battlegrounds again like all those years ago. Still in regards to what the Japanese did in the past, I like to say "Forgive but not forget".

My grandfather was forced to endure the death march after Bataan fell. He was then loaded onto a death ship and eventually brought to Japan where he was a prisoner of war and tortured for the remainder of the war. He taught me a lot of the Japanese language when I was a kid. He actually met a man in one of those camps who happened to have a picture of his beautiful niece and my grandfather was smitten immediately. After he returned back to the states he began correspondence with her in Michigan and they would eventually get married. My mother was born as their 3rd child in 1952 and in 1953 they decided to move to Texas to my grandfather’s home state. I’m glad they did because my mother met my father in Texas and now I’m here. 😊 My grandfather endured something terrible that I couldn’t even begin to imagine, but he also received a gift that is still giving to this day as he now has 9 great grandkids and already 3 great great grandsons as well!

You may also want to mention that the PT boats used by the Philippine offshore patrol were actually British made, they actually were the blockade runners for bataan and corregidor. They smuggled medicine and radio parts from other military areas and slip them to Bataan-Corregidor area whilst heavy blockade. This may have forced the IJA/IJN to the early takeover Mindoro island to utilize as base for a much tighter blockade of patrol boats and destroyers. McArthur slipped through the blockade on a PT Boat/Q-Boat commanded by future Vice Admiral Bulkley

Really appreciate you going through the massive list of Guerrilla units that were organized during the Japanese Occupation. Most people aren't aware of just how significant and successful the Filipino guerrilla resistance was. Slight correction: the founders of the Hunters ROTC were junior Philippine Military Academy cadets (the senior cadets were inducted into the Philippine Army and sent into battle, but the younger ones were told to go home), but most of their initial recruits were undergraduate ROTC cadets. Excited to see how you guys will show how many guerrilla groups became frontline combat units during the Liberation Campaign of 1944-1945.

it may be worth to mention that maj eisenhower and maj ord who were from the army war plans office in DC, good planning officers, were specifically assigned to McArthur to select WPO3 and Rainbow 5 (provisional) sites for staging areas and airfields (they even processed the purchase of land thru Quezon's office). To expedite their task they took flying lessons in the Philippine Army Air Corps as their oldest flying students. They did all their site selection and survey via biplane (Ord died in a plane crash in one of these sorties). Vigan Field, Tugerarao Field, Iba Field and Del Carmen Field as well as the conversion of Fort Stotsenburg into clark field was the product of this build up activity as part of McArthurs mandate, executed by Eisenhower and Ord.

You do realize that America and the Philippines were at war with one another from 1899 to 1902, right? The U.S. defeated the Philippines, and established their military bases there. The only reason America helped to defend the Philippines against the Japanese is because America has military bases there. The Philippines is an independent nation on paper, but they rely on the United States for protection. If it were not for the presence of U.S. military power in the Philippines, China would have taken over the Philippines long, long ago. And today Japan is one of the United States' most loyal allies. If China became very aggressive against the Philippines today, you can be certain that both the U.S. and Japan would defend the Philippines. Isn't it really weird how the world works? Two nations can be enemies one moment, then be allies the next....

Excellent work, K&G! There are so many untold stories of the Philippine Resistance. Even this detailed account can only begin to convey the scale of the events that involved thousands of soldiers & civilians who took incredible risks for the cause of freedom. My father was one of them, who as a sergeant of the Philippine Scouts HQ Division escaped capture at Bataan and joined a group of remnants of the 21st Infantry Regiment, later absorbed into Major Ramsey's Guerrilla Army. Dad told me nothing of his wartime experiences. When I obtained his Army records after his death, I finally understood why (children of veterans will know what I mean).

Shortly before the final Japanese attack on the Orion-Bagac line, a group of 35 American volunteers, under the command of Lt. Robert W. Lapham, managed to sneak through the Japanese lines. Their mission was to sneak their way to Clark airfield, 50 miles to the north and blow up as many Japanese planes as they could. However, only 10 miles from their target, the forces on Bataan surrendered. Instead of surrendering, they decided to split up and head for the hills. Lapham's intelligence would play a crucial role in the raid on Cabanatuan POW camp on 30 January 1945, which saved 550 starving Death March survivors from certain death at the hands of their guards.

Thanks! Great vid! Hit all the marks: US torpedo's that wouldn't explode, MacArthur bungling the early weeks of the campaign (and the suffering his mistakes caused the men under his command) The possibility of MacArthur ignoring direct orders in the hopes of the Philippines making a seperate peace with Imperial Japan (certainly treason) and getting promoted and the Medal of Honor for it. The FEAF being unprepared for war and decimated because of that (why no CAPs above the air fields, planes not dispersed, no extra patrols, observers, or picket boats along likely approaches). And if the 35 B17s had flown to Formosa, what would they have bombed and how many would have made it back? The only thing you missed was the ROYCE SPECIAL MISSION from April 11-13th an ad hoc squadron of B-25s and B-17s flew from Australia, staged out of Mindanao and bombed Japanese troops in the Philippines.

It’s crazy to watch this and have family stories that color how awful everything really was. From my grandfather being caught up in the death march to other family members enduring bombings and attacks from both the Japanese and the Americans, to dealing with family, friends and neighbors dying from violence and starvation. There’s a Japanese bayonet still hanging in the old family house and we held on to the money issued by the Japanese during that time, as a reminder how close my family line actually came to not existing and that life is all the more precious from having to endure and survive hardship.

1:03:58 My grandfather from my father's side was stationed in his hometown, Oton, just west of Iloilo. They fled to the mountains of Antique just as they got word from Christie to flee and initiate a guerilla war there. For the rest of the war, they fought in the mountains, mainly settling on a midpoint on Mount Baloy. Often times, low-lying Japanese recon planes would pass by their encampment, but rarely they were spotted. My favorite moment however, is that one day, my grandpa and four other dudes got captured by a Japanese platoon patrolling nearby during one of those raids on ammo depots. And just as they were about to execute him (the four dudes are already beheaded by then), he merely fainted due to the blade giving him too much chills., thus sparing his life somehow. He is then rescued by an intelligence officer working for the Japanese, and helped him flee back to the mountains. He survived the war, and passed away in 1998. I'm quite happy that the lesser known fronts in Visayas and Mindanao gets some spotlight. :D

My Grandfather was part of the Luzon Guerrilla forces. He fought sometime after the Bataan march and became a captain. When he was captured by the Japanese and taken to Fort Santiago, my family went into hiding. One of those family members being my pregnant grandmother who would later give birth to my dad in 1944. My dad was born in a small little bunker hidden near a rice field. My grandpa later escaped by jumping into the nearby Pasig river during a prison riot. Where he continued the fight and later helped and fought side by side with the Americans to liberate Manila. Another cool but terrible thing is that when my dad was an infant, the Japanese were retreating back and in retaliation started executing any Filipino they see. They were literally right on top of the bunker where my family was hidden so my dads aunt had to hold his mouth shut so he wouldn’t cry till he turned blue, considering I am alive rn it obviously saved my family’s life. Thanks for telling about the part of WWII that is often forgotten by anyone not filipino.

General Douglas MacArthur may have done some blunders, but he shouldn't be blamed solely for those. Variables like Fog of War, political considerations, defective torpedoes, timing of Japanese invasion and the Japanese themselves are more to blame. Many youth and modern historians today may hate him now, but the Filipinos who were there at that time (our grand parents) saw him as a hope and a liberator. It is rightfully so, and a must, that we study both MacArthur's failures and triumphs. So that we learn from his mistakes, and hail his successes and his love for the Filipinos. General Douglas MacArthur, human as he is, will always be a Filipino hero, OUR HERO. Thank you @Kings and Generals for this informative documentary. Hoping you cover more about the Battle for the Philippines, from 1943 all the way to end of war.

@Wolfun1t 11 ай бұрын

Even after watching the video, despite having a huge section on the failures of MacArthur, you can tell that he truly cared for the Filipino people. No preemptive bombing run because he was hoping that Japan wouldn't attack to begin with, avoiding bloodshed. And not initially committing to WPO-3, as the video said, he thought it was a "defeatist" strategy so he wanted to try to defend all of the philippines. Obviously, in hindsight, knowing how history played out, we can say he made naive decisions, but I think he's still seen in a good light for good reasons, I don't see any crime in it.

Eventually, the Kempeitai found out and he was arrested while he was hearing mass in church. Imprisoned in Fort Santiago and tortured by the Japanese, he created a paper rosary out of toilet paper and mass leaflets that were in his pocket upon capture just to keep himself sane. He escaped prison during the liberation of Manila and resumed his career as a politician. To this day, there is a street named after him in our city.

This brought back memories of my grandfather. He was a sergeant in the USAFFE. A radioman if i remember correctly. He escaped being sent on the death march by taking to the mountains with a few other survivors and waging unconventional warfare, intel gathering, and sabotage during the occupation. One of his favorite stories was when he was on a scouting mission with a few others to locate Japanese encampments and positions and was given strict orders not to engage in a firefight. On the way back, his group came face to face with Japanese scouts and was forced to hightail it back into the mountains while being shot at. I think he avoided telling us about the more brutal aspects of the occupation since we were just kids.

My grandfather from father side was enlisted in USAFFE in WW2 and he was assigned to man one of the batteries in Corregidor. The story that was told to me is that the Japanese taking of Corregidor is akin to Iwo Jima. It took the Japanese heavy casualties and several attempts before finally succeeding. The Japanese troops even deployed paratroopers to try and take the island. The defenders would hide inside when the Japanese ships and planes bombard and bomb the island. The main reason Corregidor fell is that they ran out of ammunition. One the interesting stories in Corregidor was the Orange troops. There were this group of sailors who dipped their white uniform in mud to try to make it more camouflage because white is easily noticeable. Instead it turned orange and made them more stand out. When Corregidor fell, my grandfather somehow managed to make it back to our hometown in Bicol and join the guerrilla movement there. Unfortunately, he was shot by a Japanese sniper towards the end of the war. My grandfather on my mother side was a polyglot. He spied for the Guerrillas since the Japanese used our ancestral home as a base of operation. He helped expose Japanese sympathizers and warned resistance fighters if they would be targeted. i just also like to acknowledge the contributions of the several tribes that also fought the Japanese in WW2. Like the highland tribes of the North. They practiced their ancient tradition of headhunting to fight of the Japanese. They used to trade Japanese heads for supplies and provisions with the Americans. Even the Aetas of the mountains used the jungle and poisoned darts/arrows to fight back.
