I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who aided U.S. forces in finding Japanese holdouts in the Philippines?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Japanese put up little direct defense of Palawan, but cleaning up pockets of Japanese resistance lasted until late April, as the Japanese used their common tactic of withdrawing into the mountain jungles, dispersed as small units.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
