----
ON a rugged, mountainous peninsula and a heavily fortified island American and Filipino troops are making their final stand against Japanese invaders of Luzon. Map shows the Bataan Peninsula-Corregidor-Manila area where U.S. and Jap forces clash. Reports today said that ruthless Jap bombers attacked many undefended Philippine towns, destroying them and machine-gunning helpless civilians in the streets.

The History of Japanese-Philippines war
One Of my many favorite subjects is Ap! Ap is all about the history of Philippines. There are many battles that the Philippines were involved like the American-Philippines war, but we are talking about the Philippines-Japanese war. That happened on December 8, 1941 Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces began their invasion of the Philippines. The initial landings took place on December 10, 1941, and Japanese forces quickly advanced, capturing key cities. General Douglas MacArthur, who was in command of the American and Filipino forces in the Philippines, declared Manila an open city to prevent its destruction, and he withdrew to the Bataan Peninsula.
Bataan Death March (1942): The Battle of Bataan lasted from January to April 1942, during which the combined American and Filipino forces fought fiercely against the Japanese. However, due to overwhelming Japanese superiority and lack of reinforcements and supplies, the Allied forces were eventually forced to surrender. The infamous Bataan Death March followed, during which tens of thousands of Filipino and American prisoners of war were subjected to brutal conditions, resulting in the deaths of many.
occupation (1942-1945): With the fall of Bataan, the Philippines came under Japanese occupation. The Japanese established a puppet government headed by José P. Laurel, but resistance movements, including the guerrilla warfare led by Filipino and American forces, persisted throughout the occupation.
Liberation (1944-1945): The liberation of the Philippines began with the Allied forces' return. In October 1944, General MacArthur fulfilled his promise to return to the Philippines, leading the Leyte Landings. The Battle of Leyte marked the beginning of the end for Japanese occupation in the Philippines.
Battle of Manila (1945): The Battle of Manila, fought from February to March 1945, was one of the most intense urban battles during the Pacific War. The combined American and Filipino forces sought to recapture Manila from the Japanese. The battle resulted in significant destruction, and many civilians lost their lives.
End of the War (1945): The Philippines was officially liberated with the defeat of Japanese forces. The formal surrender of Japanese forces in the Philippines took place on September 3, 1945, aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, marking the end of World War II in the Pacific.

Philippine Geography and Culture: The Wonders of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao
The Philippines is an archipelago comprising over 7,000 Islands. The exact count can vary slightly due to tidal changes and other geographical factors, but the widely accepted number is 7,641 Islands.
The Three Great Island Groups
These Islands are grouped into three major geographical regions or Island groups, which have been used to organize the country's administration, culture, and identity. The three major Island groups are:
1. Luzon, 2. Visayas, and 3. Mindanao. The division into three Island groups has its roots in the country's geography and history. Here's a brief explaination of how these regions came to be defined: 1. Geographical Convenience: The Philippines' vast number of Islands required a practical way to group them. The division into three large regions helps organize governance, transportation, commerce, and other aspects of society. 2. Historical Context: The division reflects historical and cultural pattern in the Philippines. These three Islands have distinct historical background, native languages, and cultural Identities, which contribute to the broader national Identity.
Luzon- is the largest Island group and contains the country's capital, Manila. It is the most populous and economically developed region. This Island group is home to the nation's major political, economic, and cultural centers. Key features include the Cordillera mountain range, the Bicol Peninsula, and the Cagayan Valley.
Visayas- is located in the central part of the Philippines. It consists of smaller Islands like Cebu, Negros, Panay, Leyte, Bohol, and Samar. This region is known for its distinct Visayan languages and rich cultural traditions. The Visayas has a unique Identity with historical influences from Spanish colonization and pre-Hispanic times.
Mindanao- is the southern most and second-largest Island group. It has a diverse population, with many different cultural and religious groups, including a significant Muslim population. Mindanao is known for its rich natural resources, mountains, lakes, and a history of distinct sultanates and autonomous regions.
The three Island groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao have distinct geographical, historical and cultural characteristics that set them apart. This division allows for more effective administration, representation, and acknowledgment of the unique Identities within each region. Overall, it reflects the Philippines' rich diversity and complex history.
Thank you. Until next time, salamat and see you soon!

New Title Tuesday: Historical Fiction
Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea by Rita Chang-Eppig
When Shek Yeung sees a Portuguese sailor slay her husband, a feared pirate, she knows she must act swiftly or die. Instead of mourning, Shek Yeung launches a new plan: immediately marrying her husband’s second-in-command, and agreeing to bear him a son and heir, in order to retain power over her half of the fleet.
But as Shek Yeung vies for control over the army she knows she was born to lead, larger threats loom. The Chinese Emperor has charged a brutal, crafty nobleman with ridding the South China Seas of pirates, and the Europeans—tired of losing ships, men, and money to Shek Yeung’s alliance—have new plans for the area. Even worse, Shek Yeung’s cutthroat retributions create problems all their own. As Shek Yeung navigates new motherhood and the crises of leadership, she must decide how long she is willing to fight, and at what price, or risk losing her fleet, her new family, and even her life.
A book of salt and grit, blood and sweat, Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea is an unmissable portrait of a woman who leads with the courage and ruthlessness of our darkest and most beloved heroes.
The Long March Home by Marcus Brotherton and Tosca Lee
Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of Mobile, Alabama, with his best friends Hank and Billy and to forget his high school sweetheart, Claire.
Life in the Philippines seems like paradise--until the morning of December 8, 1941, when news comes from Manila: Imperial Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor. Within hours, the teenage friends are plunged into war as enemy warplanes attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of the Pacific Theater that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan Peninsula and end with the largest surrender of American troops in history.
What follows will become known as one of the worst atrocities in modern warfare: the Bataan Death March. With no hope of rescue, the three friends vow to make it back home together. But the ordeal is only the beginning of their nearly four-year fight to survive.
Inspired by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope.
Loot by Tania James
Abbas is just seventeen years old when his gifts as a woodcarver come to the attention of Tipu Sultan, and he is drawn into service at the palace in order to build a giant tiger automaton for Tipu’s sons, a gift to commemorate their return from British captivity. His fate—and the fate of the wooden tiger he helps create—will mirror the vicissitudes of nations and dynasties ravaged by war across India and Europe.
Working alongside the legendary French clockmaker Lucien du Leze, Abbas hones his craft, learns French, and meets Jehanne, the daughter of a French expatriate. When Du Leze is finally permitted to return home to Rouen, he invites Abbas to come along as his apprentice. But by the time Abbas travels to Europe, Tipu’s palace has been looted by British forces, and the tiger automaton has disappeared. To prove himself, Abbas must retrieve the tiger from an estate in the English countryside, where it is displayed in a collection of plundered art.
The Lost Journals of Sacajewea by Debra Magpie Earling
Among the most memorialized women in American history, Sacajewea served as interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. In this visionary novel, acclaimed Indigenous author Debra Magpie Earling brings this mythologized figure vividly to life, casting unsparing light on the men who brutalized her and re-centering Sacajewea as the arbiter of her own history.
Raised among the Lemhi Shoshone, in this telling the young Sacajewea is bright and bold, growing strong from the hard work of "learning all ways to survive" gathering berries, water, roots, and wood; butchering buffalo, antelope, and deer; catching salmon and snaring rabbits; weaving baskets and listening to the stories of her elders. When her village is raided and her beloved Appe and Bia are killed, Sacajewea is kidnapped and then gambled away to Charbonneau, a French Canadian trapper.
Heavy with grief, Sacajewea learns how to survive at the edge of a strange new world teeming with fur trappers and traders. When Lewis and Clark's expedition party arrives, Sacajewea knows she must cross a vast and brutal terrain with her newborn son, the white man who owns her, and a company of men who wish to conquer and commodify the world she loves.
Written in lyrical, dreamlike prose, The Lost Journals of Sacajewea is an astonishing work of art and a powerful tale of perseverance--the Indigenous woman's story that hasn't been told.

On Writing: Plotbunnies and Escalation
One writing hazard is falling down a research rabbit-hole, where you end up reading up on things like ancient Greek loom weights despite your story being neither ancient, nor Greek, nor about weaving at all. Another writing hazard, also tied to research though possibly more productive, is... escalating bunnies.
You know, the kind that start from a simple, “gee, a vampire paladin would be really neat if I could pull it off; would it work better xuanhuan-style in ancient Korea?”
You’d think that would be an innocent question. Until you start reading up on the various times and kingdoms occupying the Korean Peninsula pre-modern times. Which is when the bunnies start to escalate.
“I don’t want to do a generic in-the-past thing. I ought to pick a specific section of history so I have a good idea what would be going on, even if I do make it fantasy. Hmm, I know a bit of the Tokugawa Era in Japan, that might be a place to start given I know Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea in 1592....”
Said innocent thought leads to reading up on the Imjin War. Interesting stuff. If eep.
“...Maybe that’s a little too interesting. I couldn’t have characters running off on Adventures without worrying about battles over the next ridge. And I’m not up to writing major battle scenes. Maybe a little later than that? What else was going on? Outside of some Pilgrims hijacking a ship to go to New England, of all places, during the Little Ice Age....”
Cue Little Ice Age research jaunt, especially a big thick book on said age all over the known world. Cue even more eep.
“So there’s info on China here but not much on Korea specifically. Though I know they were into astronomy as much as China, and there were some interesting supercomets in recorded history....”
Cue reading up on supercomets, old speculations on space spores, and modern known facts on organic compounds in comets. During which the bunnies are quiet. One might even say, suspiciously quiet.
“Huh, maybe I should check if there’s any books specifically on China that at least are in the right time for the Little Ice Age-”
(Yes. Yes there are. At least one is very specific.)
Cue stumbling into all kinds of weirdness from the 1500s on, great backstory for an ageless cultivator character (ah, xuanhuan flavor!) that also drags in European explorers, Jesuits, the whole mess with possibly seditious priests plotting to take over Japan, and a whole chain of events that could plausibly connect hummingbirds, the Manila galleons, and an ancient vampire.
Currently staring at plot and notes. “I was trying to just write a good final battle against shark-pirates. What do you mean I need to study Yi Sun-sin’s maneuvers in the Roaring Strait?”
...Bunnies. Sigh.

InLife Sheroes shines the spotlight on Filipino women as it celebrates its 5th Anniversary; and launches the InLife Sheroes Awards
InLife Sheroes shone the spotlight on women, led by Executive Chairperson and InLife Sheroes prime mover Nina D. Aguas, and InLife Dreamweaver, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, in an afternoon program that celebrated its achievements in the last five years.
InLife Executive Chairperson Nina D. Aguas (4th from left) and InLife Dreamweaver Megastar Sharon Cuneta-Pangilinan led guests in exchanging Sheroes bracelets representing the bonds formed these past five years and the promise to stand by each other through thick and thin. With them are (from left) host KaladKaren Davila, Ms. Mitch Valdez, Aryn Cristobal, and Nicki Morena.
Aside from Ms. Cuneta, other performers included veteran actress, singer, and comedienne Mitch Valdez, multitalented performer Aryn Cristobal , and Stand-up performer Nicki Morena. Versatile comedienne KaladKaren hosted the event.
Ms. Aguas recalled how from a goal of reaching one million Filipino women three years after its inception in 2019, InLife Sheroes, now 5 years old, has reached more than 6.5 million Filipino women through various on-ground and online activities.
“InLife Sheroes will reach out to more Filipino women so that they become empowered through financial education and inclusion. This will be done through various digital/online and on-the-ground initiatives nationwide coupled with partnerships with various like-minded organizations.”
InLife Sheroes, InLife’s flagship program for women empowerment, was established in partnership with the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. It aims to reach out to the relatively untapped segment of the women in the Philippines, especially women entrepreneurs who need life and health protection as well as financial solutions to expand their businesses. InLife Sheroes’ four focus areas are financial literacy, health and wellness, women-specific solutions, and access to social and business networks.
In order to exemplify these, InLife forged strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations such as the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, the University of the Philippines – Manila’s Mu Sigma Phi, I Can Serve Foundation, Imaginable Impact, For The Women Foundation, Connected Women and major hospitals in the country among others, aside from its bancassurance partner UnionBank of the Philippines, associate Insular Health Care, and social commitment arm Insular Foundation, Inc.
Recently, InLife launched a critical illness life insurance plan called Resilience Female Cancers, aimed at providing coverage for women who would suffer from nine kinds of cancers such as: breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer; uterine sarcomas, malignant mixed mullerian tumors, malignant germ cell tumors, fallopian tube cancer and leiomyosarcomas.
Meanwhile, Ms. Cuneta, a Shero herself, launched a video series on her YouTube channel, with the first episode discussing the importance of choosing a healthier lifestyle and preparing for the financial impact of health emergencies.
During the anniversary show held at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Manila Peninsula on March 12, InLife also launched the InLife Sheroes Awards. The Awards Program will honor Filipino women who embody the four pillars of InLife Sheroes: champions of financial education, advocates for physical and/or mental health and wellness, accomplished women who work for the benefit of women and business leaders whose products and services address women’s needs. Nominations should be accompanied by a 500-word write up on the nominee’s profile, explaining her advocacies and endeavors, and must be sent to [email protected] from March 12 to August 15, 2024. For more information on the InLife Sheroes, visit https://www.inlifesheroes.com/.
