Many Filipinos remember General MacArthur, but have largely forgotten General Wainwright.. The Philippines awarded him the medal of valor, the philippine army highest honor (MacArthur was the other foreigner who got the award). However, unlike MacArthur, Wainwright stayed with his troops and fought until the end.

My grandfather was a survivor of the Bataan death march and he would recount that they would bury comrades who died along the march not knowing that it might be their bodies being buried the next day. Thank you for this documentary video.

My grandfather was forced to endure the death march after Bataan fell. He was then loaded onto a death ship and eventually brought to Japan where he was a prisoner of war and tortured for the remainder of the war. He taught me a lot of the Japanese language when I was a kid. He actually met a man in one of those camps who happened to have a picture of his beautiful niece and my grandfather was smitten immediately. After he returned back to the states he began correspondence with her in Michigan and they would eventually get married. My mother was born as their 3rd child in 1952 and in 1953 they decided to move to Texas to my grandfather’s home state. I’m glad they did because my mother met my father in Texas and now I’m here. 😊 My grandfather endured something terrible that I couldn’t even begin to imagine, but he also received a gift that is still giving to this day as he now has 9 great grandkids and already 3 great great grandsons as well!

As a Filipino, thank you for this amazing 2 hour documentary about this campaign. Keep it up Kings and Generals!

You may also want to mention that the PT boats used by the Philippine offshore patrol were actually British made, they actually were the blockade runners for bataan and corregidor. They smuggled medicine and radio parts from other military areas and slip them to Bataan-Corregidor area whilst heavy blockade. This may have forced the IJA/IJN to the early takeover Mindoro island to utilize as base for a much tighter blockade of patrol boats and destroyers. McArthur slipped through the blockade on a PT Boat/Q-Boat commanded by future Vice Admiral Bulkley

My late grandfather who hails from Pototan, Iloilo was a guerrilla fighter in Panay under the leadership of Col. Peralta. It was during the war that he met my teenaged grandmother who was supplying intel to the guerrillas and smuggling food and medical supplies. They got married after the war and was survived by 8 children and 28 grandchildren. Thank you Kings and Generals for making this video. Much appreciated.

1:40:25 "President Quezon had visited Tokyo in 1938, where Japanese officials told him that Japan had no aggressive intentions towards the Philippines and only wanted trade." This is very sus, and might happen again with CHINA-PH relations.

As Filipino and someone majoring in history, I’m grateful for this 2 hour documentary and appreciate it with all my heart ❤️‍🔥

this is not a video. this is a movie a full free movie for free, cmon guys this guys really is underrated

Thank you for covering this. My grandfather was taken prisoner by the japanese and was a part of the bataan death march. He made it home. My father said he would never speak of the things he endured. Wish I could of met him but he passed before I was born. I found this enlightening.

Brilliant job Kings and Generals! This two-hour video completely explains WW2 Philippines more than what our teachers taught us in ten years!

it may be worth to mention that maj eisenhower and maj ord who were from the army war plans office in DC, good planning officers, were specifically assigned to McArthur to select WPO3 and Rainbow 5 (provisional) sites for staging areas and airfields (they even processed the purchase of land thru Quezon's office). To expedite their task they took flying lessons in the Philippine Army Air Corps as their oldest flying students. They did all their site selection and survey via biplane (Ord died in a plane crash in one of these sorties). Vigan Field, Tugerarao Field, Iba Field and Del Carmen Field as well as the conversion of Fort Stotsenburg into clark field was the product of this build up activity as part of McArthurs mandate, executed by Eisenhower and Ord.

Really appreciate you going through the massive list of Guerrilla units that were organized during the Japanese Occupation. Most people aren't aware of just how significant and successful the Filipino guerrilla resistance was. Slight correction: the founders of the Hunters ROTC were junior Philippine Military Academy cadets (the senior cadets were inducted into the Philippine Army and sent into battle, but the younger ones were told to go home), but most of their initial recruits were undergraduate ROTC cadets. Excited to see how you guys will show how many guerrilla groups became frontline combat units during the Liberation Campaign of 1944-1945.

Thank you for this documentary and for highlighting the role of Filipino Guerillas in the war. In the U.S history books it is rarely recognized. And some Filipinos only glorify the Americans and seem to forget their own who sacrificed their lives for liberty. Today many Filipinos also seem to forget these events of the past. And are hooked on Japanese culture. I hope we Filipinos never forget our history! We forgive but we never forget! Don’t get me wrong I love Japan and it’s culture as well but I will never forget the sacrifices Americans and Filipinos did for my country! 🇵🇭

Don't worry Kings and General, once you mention Philippine you are now summoning the entire nation to watch this.

Incredible. Thanks for sharing this Kings and Generals. The Filipino and American resistance of the Philippines was some of the most famous, impressive, heartbreaking and storied fighting of the Second World War. So many heroic stories from that theatre to still be shared with the masses.

Kings and Generals, thank you for making a two hour long video about our country and there are a lot of information that I didn’t were fascinating to understand more about the guerilla against the Japanese. - Greetings from The Philippines ❤❤❤

My uncle PFC Leon Quin "Huck" Hoxie was part of the 27th Bomb Group Light. He was stationed at an airfield south of Manila, Part of Operation Plum. The group's planes never got to the Philippines being diverted to Brisbane Australia. The lead elements of the group arrived in early November. After December 8th the group was sent to Bataan. Key personnel were shipped out by submarine. My uncle was not one of them. When Bataan flee he survived the Death March, but died of beriberi in Zero Ward of Cabanatuan P.O.W. Camp. He was buried 3 times. At the prison camp then the national cemetery north of Manila and then in the family plot in his home town in the summer of 1949.

Shortly before the final Japanese attack on the Orion-Bagac line, a group of 35 American volunteers, under the command of Lt. Robert W. Lapham, managed to sneak through the Japanese lines. Their mission was to sneak their way to Clark airfield, 50 miles to the north and blow up as many Japanese planes as they could. However, only 10 miles from their target, the forces on Bataan surrendered. Instead of surrendering, they decided to split up and head for the hills. Lapham's intelligence would play a crucial role in the raid on Cabanatuan POW camp on 30 January 1945, which saved 550 starving Death March survivors from certain death at the hands of their guards.
