3 years ago I was in the Philippines with my wife visiting her family. Her 88 year old mother was still able to tell me what life was like in WW2. They lived in the jungle on what ever was eatable, only daring to forage in darkness to avoid the Japanese's patrols. She talked for some time and when she was finished I asked her what she thought now of Japanese. She replied "pinatay nang bionita". I didn't understand "killed by sword" so my wife explained that the Japanese solders would throw the babies/small children up in the air and stab them as they fell with their swords. ***What happened to Filipinos during World war 2? The Philippines had suffered great loss of life and tremendous physical destruction by the time the war was over. An estimated 1 million Filipinos had been killed, a large proportion during the final months of the war, and Manila was reduced to ruble. >>>I was in Tokyo once and while walking around I looked up and tried to imagine what it was like to see all those bombers overhead, see the bombs falling, watch everything erupting in flames and trying to survive the firestorm.
