Have you ever wondered why?
– The Philippines has never held a single V-J Day (Victory Over Japan); Liberation Day parade or any celebration whatsoever.
– The Great Liberator of the Philippines Gen. Douglas MacArthur was betrayed.
– No AIRPORT, building, park, bridge, camp, barracks, open field, avenue, boulevard, street or even an alley has ever been named or dedicated after Gen. Douglas MacArthur (1880 – 1964).
MacArthur Highway north of Manila was named after Gen. Arthur MacArthur, Civil War hero and father of Douglas.
– After WWII Japan’s economy recovered miraculously under the guidance of Gen. MacArthur while the Philippines a U.S. territory was abandoned and granted independence.

WORLD WAR II – THE PHILIPPINES

Memorial Day 2015 : This is the link of the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 11th Airborne commanded by Maj. Gen. Joseph Swing. They were the ones who liberated Las Piñas on Feb. 3, 1945. Although the 188th Glider Infantry Regiment has already landed in Nasugbu on Jan. 31, 1945, Gen. Swing objected to a drop on Tagaytay Ridge unless his men could be supported by other units nearby.
Perhaps he didn’t want a repeat of the failed “Operation: Market Garden”. And sure enough on the night of Feb. 5, 1945, the Japanese launched a “Banzai attack” in Las Piñas. However the suicide attack fell on the recently released Filipino political prisoners from the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa, Rizal. Weak and famished, the political prisoners were making their way back to Manila and decided to spend the night at the public market. No U.S. soldier was killed in the attack.
There was no firefight or battle in Las Piñas. Their entry was preceded by a very accurate artillery barrage on what is now the Central Elementary School which the Japanese used as a garrison. Not a shell fell outside the garrison’s perimeter.
In the early morning following the artillery barrage, Mrs. Cristobal was roused from her sleep by the incessant barking of dogs squabbling over a “big piece of bone.” It turned out to be a severed leg of a Japanese soldier one of the dogs found. The Japanese Army unit had already left Las Piñas.
At around 3pm elements of the 511th PIR began entering the town of Las Piñas from the south. Here’s a pop quiz: “How did the lead elements of the 511th PIR knew that it was safe to enter the town proper of Las Piñas?
The first encounter with the Japanese sailors defending Nichols was at the southern foot of the Paranaque Bridge. Japanese fired from the northeast side of the bridge in a village called Ibayo, Three GI’s were killed or wounded. Those who were wounded were brought to the rear i.e. back to Las Piñas Church which was then converted into a medical station. On the 511th list of KIA, the location”Sucal” must be Sucat road.

MacArthur told Roxas: “Selfish ambition, petty jealousy & unnecessary misunderstanding should not impede the progress and rend YOUR country.” After Roxas died Quirino another oligarchist politician became president. By 1950 Roxas & Quirino administrations pocketed $2 billion in US assistance given to the Philippines since the war ended. Profits of businessmen & landowners sky-rocketed while the standard of living of most below were lower than the pre-war levels.
This is because Ayala, Zobel, Soriano, Araneta are relatives of Manuel A. Roxas.

FAST FORWARD TO 2011: From Oct. 28 2011 to July 13, 2013 the World Bank gave the Aquino III government a $3.7 billion and a $300 million ($4 billion) loans for disaster preparedness, relief, reconstruction & poverty alleviation ($300M). But when Typhoon Haiyan came, not a penny of the $4 billion could be found.
What is amazing is that on Oct. 29, 2014 exactly three (3) years and a day later Aquino III approved the Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda rehabilitation master plan of $3.97 billion (P170.9 billion).
Question: Where did the money from the $3.7 billion World Bank loans go between Oct. 28, 2011 and Oct. 29, 2014? Was it invested in some money market account that the World Banksters and corrupt governments like the Philippines conspired to invest and couldn’t be taken out?
This is how the quisling-oligarchs got their start. What’s more scary is the fact that the US Congress through Pres. Obama continue to provide US taxpayers money and support to the oligarchs of the Philippines to this day.
Let me ask again: How did the 50 richest “Filipinos” as listed on Forbes Magazine start amassing so much wealth? These oligarch-traitors didn’t come to the U.S. and rob some banks. Successive US Congresses ALLOWED the oligarch-traitors to steal US taxpayers’ money. Successive US Congresses BETRAYED the American people’s trust.
BACK TO THE FUTURE . . . .
From 1945 to 1949 the U.S. gave $2 billion in war reparations to the Philippines.
President Truman’s fact-finding mission (Bell Commission) reported that the money is gone. And obviously it went to landowners and unscrupulous businessmen oligarchs who are now richer than ever while the majority of the people’s standard of living has not risen to anywhere near the pre-war levels.”
TIME MAGAZINE – MONDAY 6 NOV. 1950 (65 YEAR AGO!!!)
This is from 06 Nov. 1950 issue of Time Magazine when PRES. GW BUSH WAS SIX (6) YEARS OLD. We’ve been pouring billions of dollars on the Philippines and things are getting worse!
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity. The World Bank must be declared insane!
Had the U.S. bought the Philippines twice over ($40 million) in 1945, it would have been a tropical paradise the envy of the Hawaiian Islands.
Excerpt: “Although the U.S. has poured some $2 billion into the Philippines since 1945, the new republic is on the verge of bankruptcy.
President Truman’s fact-finding mission (Bell Commission) reported that the money is gone. And obviously it went to landowners and unscrupulous businessmen oligarchs who are now richer than ever while the majority of the people’s standard of living has not risen to anywhere near the pre-war levels.”
