BSN2-YB-2 RIPH

A. What were the roles of the following personalities in the battles of Bataan and
Corregidor

1. Manuel L. Quezon
- General MacArthur and Filipino President Manuel Quezon evacuated
Corregidor. Quezon established an exile government in Washington, D.C.,
and pressed the US Congress to bring American troops back to the
Philippines during his exile. "Remember Bataan," he urged them.
2. Douglas McArthur
- General Douglas MacArthur, commander-in-chief of all American and
Filipino forces in the Philippines, gathered all of his Luzon-based soldiers
on the Bataan Peninsula to face the Japanese army. General Douglas
MacArthur keeps his word and returns to the Philippines.
3. Gen. Vicente Lim
- On Bataan, Lim commanded a division that may have suffered more
combat losses at the fight of Abucay than all American soldiers on the
island combined during the campaign. He was awarded the Purple Heart
and the Legion of Merit.
4. Capt. Jesus Villamor
- He is the commanding officer of the Philippine Army Air Corps' 6th Pursuit
Squadron, is seen getting off of a plane after returning from a flight to
Batangas Field in Manila. The young man, who led a daring squadron of
six Filipino pilots in former training planes that took on fifty-four Japanese
air raiders above Batangas and shot down two, said he "became so
enraged" that he forgot to be terrified.
5. Sgt. Jose Calugas
- The 88th Artillery Regiment was finally allocated an unique battalion made
up of Filipinos who would operate alongside American forces. During the
Battle of Bataan, Jose Calugas, a Medal of Honor recipient, native son,
and hero of the Philippines, went "beyond the call of duty."
B. Choose 5 veteran( Filipino or American) who testified and relate their war
experience.

1. Emilio C. Aquino
- He is a member of the 1st Coast Artillery Regiment as a Sgt. I believe he is
more emotional towards all veterans as he can vividly recall everything that
he and every Filipino had faced, as he remarked in the documentary, "if you
love your nation you would undoubtedly love your country."
"Keep it in mind"
2. Felix T. Pestana
- He is the Lt. , headquarters I corps. PA AIR Corps. As a Filipino, he
remarked that when our enemy attacks, it is in our instinct to defend our
country at all costs.
3. Richard Gordon
- - He is a Lieutenant in the 31st Infantry Regiment, and he has seen how
American leaders and forces underestimate the adversary, the Japanese,
and the troops and civilians pay the price.
4. Venicio L. Jalandoni
- - He is a lieutenant in the 71st division. He expressed the Filipino troops'
commitment to win the fight. He also stated that they did not surrender if
they did not receive an instruction from the higher-ups.
5. Lester I. Tenney
- - He holds the rank of S/Sgt. The 192nd. He describes how the Filipino
Igorot infantry successfully guided the American tank to the adversary,
Japan. As a result, Japanese troops are wiped out all the way to the
frontier.
