Manila Conquest! 1st Pics 1945/02/26

“The Capture of Manila (First pictures of the final stages of General macarthur’s masterful Luzon campaign) – As the US 6th Army approaches from the North, units of the US 8th Army approach Manila from the West and from the South. Naval stations and heavily-mined air fields are taken. US rifle fire is augmented with bazookas, phosphorus grenades and 155 mm. howitzers. Guerrillas render invaluable aid and the hated collaborationists are quickly rounded up. Manila proper is entered, but the cornered Japs have planted TNT charges and soaked blocks of buildings with gasoline. The resultant huge fires burn by day and by night. General macarthur enters Bilibid prison and is cheered by the 1100 prisoners who have been captive there since Bataan fell. Refugees mill about Manila’s streets, laden down with their few belongings. Water pressure in the mains is negligible, hence the fires rage unchecked. The stench from mass open graves where murdered Filipinos lie, is unbearable. The fighting zone shifts to South Manila, and Intramuros, the old walled city. When the Japs are exterminated, the refugees timidly return to their liberated city, Manila.” scenes of macarthur’s three-pronged attack advances, artillery pounds enemy, heavy resistance near Manila, Gen. Eichelberger lead another attack, net closes on japanese collaborators, gis drink beer from local brewery, evidence seen of Japanese demolition in Manila, macarthur enters Manila, visits prison and released captives, boat sunk

Hahahaa!
we are not MALAY’s( that word was coined by this stupid Brit Anthropologist)!
We are the MAHARLIKA! Indosnesia and Pinoy are the same!
Check the lingo and the skin texture!
Malaysia is much different from us!

Who told you that Filipino is a race? We Filipinos are MALAYS. Filipino is only our Nationality. Philippine Island was governed by numerous Datus “Kings” before it was conquered by Spain. We are not affiliated with Indonesia but we have the same race MALAY.

filipino is not a race. it’s a concept coined by spanish who were born here during spanish colonial times. many thinks the spanish invaded the philippines. it can’t be. it’s spain that formed that created the philippine concept. had there been no hispanic conquest, philippines is likely to be a province of indonesia. like east timor was.

as Filipinos, we should realize that everything in this world is insatiable and we need to go back to our simple ways of living in order to preserve our own resources. imperialism has taught us to be selfish just like the unending semi-fuedal abuse of our landlords, the beaurucrat capitalists, and the bourgoise society who make illusions of themselves like europeans or americans of fashion and glamour. what we need is to be a family who use its power to protect everyone, specially the poor.

angelomes @ 6:18 am #

Imperialism has dictated the way we should live and we were blinded and forced to destroy our resources because of too much massive consumption which manipulated our thinking about development and progress. one day, we’ll make this world a big trash just like how manila was destroyed because these impperialists will ran out of anything they misused and they will war and war again to expand, erase the civilization of a nation, dictate and when no more slave is to serve him, he’ll die w/ his gold.

angelomes @ 6:22 am #

As filipinos, we never need nor wanted to conquer other nations for our sake and make them slaves. before the spanish came, we had a very simple lifestyle and we are civilized by our moral ways of living. we have our datus and baranggays that make a social system. we could have been productive in our own. for us, richness does not mean extravagant lifestyle, fancy cars and precious diamonds. we only aimed for simple lifestyle and sharing. and that’s the meaning of being rich to us.

angelomes @ 7:20 am #

It should be noted that no one really triumphed in this war. up until now, our country is still suffering the impact of imperialism. the filipinos are abused by spain, japan and america because of pride and power, and they will never be contented. up until now, we are criticized not knowing how most of us are controlled in the resources we worked for. up until now, we are paying the unending debt interests which actually came from the war activities of these imperialists.

Japs raped and masscred a lot of filipinos including a number of spaniards in manila..but americans flattened the city while liberating the phils. what a cruel past. *sigh

you’re the retard

It’s taken from Spain after the American-Spanish War startted in Havana with the explosion of USS Maine. Then came the Philippines War against insurgents for independence of the Philippines. US repressions were the most horrible. Read “The burden of the white man” by Rudyard Kipling

bassdowg @ 10:57 am #

Ohhh grow up you retards!!! You all whine like senior citizen sized dogs!!!

ron2dhey @ 11:16 am #

do we need to thank americans for the liberation and total destruction of manila??!!….the richness of our culture, architecture and history were all turned to dust. Most of the great architectural influence of spanish culture to our dear city were all gone. Nothing was left for the new generation to enjoy.

RepublikaMaharlika @ 12:02 pm #

Really! Don’t forget Philippines was part of the US before!

RepublikaMaharlika @ 12:20 pm #

Uhhhh no Phillippines was part of the US commonwealth that’s the reason they kicked the Jap ass out of the only American colony in ASIA during that time.

why do you pretend to be white ?
there is nothing to be ashamed of being hispanic,, we have some at work and we trained them in no time at all to empty the trash,, they can even clean our cars at lunch break,, just dont leave valuables inside or food,,, they do tend to like thieving, scum but some are ok,, so dont be ashamed that you are not white.
just try to shake of the neo nazi homosexual trait,, read more concentrate on getting a job, toilet cleaner or floor sweeper hahaha
