Time Machine

If they were given a “time machine”, the part of history that I would like to go back are the War Years. The Japanese Occupation. The ten-year preparatory period, known as the Commonwealth regime, was rudely interrupted when the Japanese, looking for territories. On December 1941 Japanese naval bombers attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The United States declared war against Japan and the war in the Pacific are formally on. As a consequence of this war, our belove country was occupied by the Japanese. For three years the Filipinos suffered the rigors of war.

Quezon in Corregidor, my friend Manuel L. Quezon, was very sick man when the war broke out. The suffering of people increase his worries which to a large contributed to his physical breakdown. Thousands of Filipinos were killed as a result of indiscriminate bombings of the enemy and thousands more are hospitalized from wounds received from enemy bombs and bullets. On December 24, 1941, my Ninong McArthur informed my friend Quezon that he and some of his officials, as well as members of his family were to leave fo Corregidor at two o’clock afternoon. My friend Quezon immediately leave the Corregidor.
