  The enormity of the crimes committed by Japanese soldiers in the Philippines is a given fact. Our collective amnesia about those events is nearly as great a crime. Why? Because it is a crime against our history and guarantees that such evil will be committed once again.

We live in a world where people are too concerned with their own material existence to recall the battles their fathers and grandfathers had to fight in order merely to survive.

Our forgetfulness dishonors those who suffered and died here.

  “Whrever there were Japanese, there was a silent, secret society that emerged from the forest, the farms, the school buildings, and shops. Ordinary men of all ages, many barely in their teens, were reunited in hushed tones into civilian para-military units called Bolo Battalions.

  With no guns, little training, and a fierce devotion to their beloved Amianan, they defied the Japanese Imperial Army with all the courage they could muster. Without them, the guerrillas would have been wiped out.”
     
    This book records some activities of the Bolomen, including but not limited to the receipt and subsequent transport of 6 tons of arms and supplies in what is believed to be the first supply landing by submarine in North Luzon.”

The most horrible and unforgettable tragedy theFilipino people lived through was World War II. From the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941 to its end in the summer of 1945, the nation  had lost countless lives and seen the destruction of so many homes. The Philippines was a country in ruins.

Within the span of the most tragic national experience emerged stories of faith, courage and heroism. One such story is the narrative penned by Aurora Lopez Sacro Ver had seen and felt so much pain and suffering.

She was a witness to so many miracles made by prayers, to the triumph of the human spirit in the midst of adversities. This is an invitation to revisit something beautiful about the past.

  Gov. Roque B. Ablan refused to surrender to the Japanese. He ran the provincial government from high up in the mountains, continuing to serve the people of Ilocos Norte. Though it was a "government in exile", it had a complete staff with legal and military advisers. President Quezon even gave them permission to print war notes, a form of emergency legal tender. The staff and soldiers could therefore draw their salaries from "Little Malacañan."

  The story of the USS Stingray SS-186 and the importance of its cargo underscored the odds against which Ilocano freedom fighters were fighting. It is time to tell the stories, this time of the men and women who fought their battles of personal sacrifice and human frailty. It is necessary to recount the victories of the spirit that singularly and collectively, helped them win for us our present-day freedom.
