POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS RESULTING FROM THE GRANTING OF AMNESTY TO ACCUSED COLLABORATORS IN THE PHILIPPINES March 3, 1948
“SEVERAL HUNDRED FILIPINO GUERRILLAS, WHO OPPOSED THE OCCUPATION UNDER THEIR OWN OR THE U.S. LEADERSHIP, ARE NOW IN CUSTODY AND SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR ALLEGED ACTS OF VIOLENCE COMMITTED DURING THE WAR AS PART OF THEIR ANTI-JAPANESE AND ANTI-COLLABORATIONIST ACTIVITIES.”
30 March 1948
This was published on 28 April 1948, three (3) months after Manuel Roxas, Sr. signed the general amnesty.
It was out of Manuel Roxas’ desire to escape trial by court martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), selfish ambition and the collective greed of the oligarchs that he opted to declare independence without consulting the people. A U.S. Army Brig. Gen. during the war, Roxas’ decision is the single cause of the misery and suffering of millions of Filipinos especially the OFW’s to this day.
It now appears the Philippines was not liberated in WWII. The oligarch-traitors retained power even after Japan’s surrender. This explains why the Philippines never celebrated VJ Day, MacArthur’s Leyte Landing or the Liberation of Manila. This is no longer acceptable.
