Filipinos Swoop Down From Hills
 To Fight Japs With Makeshift Guns

It would be impossible to name them all, but when Gen. Douglas MacArthur paid tribute to the guerrilla fighters who had taken control away from the Japs on eight islands, he named Col. Ru- perto Kangleon, leader on Leyte, Col, Macario Peralta, Jr., leader on Panay; It. Col, Salvador Ab- cede, guerrilla leader on NegroS; It. col. Alejandro Suarez, conn mander on the Sulu archipelago; and Major Ismael Inginlero, com mander of Bofol. Colonel Rang leon was a Philippine army offlcer before the war, and the next two are graduates of the University of the Philippines. Inginiero is a graduate of Far Eastern univer- sity, and Suarez is former con- stabulary ofilcer. They paved the way for MacArthur's landing on Leyte and Lieut.. Gen. Walter Kreuger's operation against Min doro. Col. Peralta was the first of the guerrilla leaders to contact General MacArthur.
 FOUGHT WITH BOLO KNIVES
 At first these guerrillas fought with only their bolo knives. Then they made their first guns out of lengths of pipe. Their first modern weapons and their ammunition they took from Jap soldiers they killed.
 In Zamboango the Guerrillas made guns out of bomboo. Lit. orally. Putting petroleum or gaso- line-which they Stole-in the hollow tube of a bamboo gun barrel, they would exhaust most of the air, seal the tube, then ex- plode 1t with heat. The bursting bamboo fired no shell but 1t made a terrific noise and 1t led the Japs to believe that the guerrillas had artillery.
 But their greatest weapons were speed and invisibility and ann bush. On July 4, l943, on the island of Cebu, the guerrillas an- nounced they would celebrate In- dependence Day and they let the Japs know they would celebrate, and when and where. To prove 1t, on July they fired a few rockets to show they meant what they said. The Japs marched two companies to stop the celebration and the Filipinos ambushed and killed them all.
 The JapS cooperated with the Filipinos in other ways. Their punishments and atrocities added many recruits. Whole towns-men, women and children-moved into the hills to join the resistance.
 The JapS tried organizing the people into Kalibapi, or neighbor- hood associations, registering all the inhabitants for rationing and to check on the people in each

district. The underground used that to good advantage. If three men lived in a house, the Filipi- nos would move in two more from another house, register five and draw ratoins for them all. AL ways there were five men when the JapS came to check, and al- ways the same names answered. But the five men would many times be different and the Japs were no wiser.
 LAPS FRIGHTENED
 Soon the Japs were afraid to go into the country and they stayed in the towns. When that hap pened the Filipinos started coming into the towns and doing their ambushing there.
 The story of Cenon Martin, mayor of a little town in the in- terior, is typical. Before daylight he raced about his village throw ing hand grenades into Japanese billets, then dashed home and back into bed. When the Jap off, cers came to awaken him and file complaint because the people who professed to be collaborating with their conquerors were not living up to their promises, he assumed mock innocence.
 That was the game of the guer- rillas.-to play at collaboration in the open.

 The united States would protect the Philippines and would send them aid. The Filipinos believed that. Hadn't they been told for years that they were not strong enough to defend themselvesp
 So for four months they fought on.-75,000 Filipinos and 1000 Americans, side by side waiting for relief which never came. And finally they bit the dust of defeat at Corregidor on May 6, l942.
 THEY LAUGHED LAST
 The bow legged Japs laughed at that and tried to tell the FilipinoS how mistaken they had been about their American protectors" Still the Filipinos did not lose faith. They went into the hills and the peoples war began. In all the

Pacific islands they were the only people who sided with the whites against the Japanese. They were unique, too, in that they were without experienced leaders, with out military plan. almost without arms.
 Gradually a few leaders began to assert themselves. They were civilians. Typical was Tomas Confesor. Offered the position of Mayor in Manila, he refused 1t and escaped from the city in a sailboat. The Japanese authori- ties entreated him to come back. He replied in a letter, reaffirming his loyalty to the United States and expressing the conviction that
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-01-02

the Americans would return. That letter, now a classic in Philippine history, was reprinted in leaflets tht were dropped by airplane all over the Islands and did much to unite the people in their resist ance movement.
 Other leaders came from the universities. Boys who were Re- serve OHcers' Training Corps stu- dents, too young to be taken into the army as commissioned officers, but intelligent, informed and toughened by sports, 500 nshowed that they had enough military training in their ROTC courses to organize resistance. There were perhaps 1900 of these university men who went into the hills to fight the JapS.

mining engineer. She had work ed for a time on the staff of the Manila Herald, my own news paper, and I knew her well. When the Japanese came into Manila she became a commentator for the Japanese radio. On Bataan and Corregidor General Mac Arthur would hear her broadcasts and kid me about my former re- porter who was now collaborating with the invaders. That infuriat- ed me doubly, but could not help but feel there was something wrong.
 Then came the day when the American G-2. the military inc telligence officer on General Mac- Arthur's staff, gave orders that Yay Panlilio's broadcasts were to be taken down in shorthand, daily. The reason was that she was giving us information of Jap troop movements and conditions in the city. It was of utmost value to us.
 Eventually the JapS caught on however, and Yay went to the prison camp on Fort Santiago That was the Jap torture cham Der. Fortunately she escaped and joined the guerrillas. When went to Leyte with President Osmena and General MacArthur, heard from Yay. She was writing orders of the day for one of the guerrilla leaders in the hills.

Winter has come again, The snow is on the ground It seems like many frozen raindrop Al scattered round and around. The leafless trees still stand there Just waiting for warmth and sunshine, That always comes in Springtime With fresh and balmy air Nothing be more pure Than the white and spotless snow, To view it by the wayside Or anywhere that We may go. Unlike the staid old hillside The mountains and the rivers It melts and away Down to the ocean, shore But warmer days are coming And they will come next Spring The snow will all have disappeared And the robin again will sing.
