| General Note |
- General note - Four writers have collaborated in the effort to preserve for posterity the impressions of some who had first hand experience with the Japanese during the occupation of the Philippines. - Roderick Hall
|
| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Four pieces on the Japanese occupation from different perspectives. Santos' chapter ("Gleanings from a Cruel War") attempts to provide a framework to the experience, using a few interviews and his readings on some relevant works. Orendain ("Children of War") presents the Japanese occupation as seen by children and youths (she was one of them). Mendoza's chapter ("Looking Back: Days of War") is in three parts, the first are glimpses into the death march from eyewitness testimonies; the second is the saga of four brothers arrested by the Kempeitai, and the third is on her family's experience, beginning in Zamboanga and evacuating by boat to Iloilo and then on to Luzon. The last chapter ("Witness"), by Bernard Karganilla, shows how his students' perceptions of the war differed from their elders'; he tried to make his students discover the truth by interviewing eyewitnesses of the occupation. His article presents highlights of these interviews, dividing them into common experiences (the start of the war, Nipponization, ethnic stories, women in war, friendly Japanese and others). The four essays were written and compiled in an effort to keep the lessons and memories of the war alive, and to particularly show the Filipino experience to the Japanese. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
