    Well we have hitlerite Poles and Russians and Ukrainians, so i’m not really surprised there would be Filipinos idolizing Imperial Japan. Just disappointed.

      The Philippines was a full on US colony before WW2 so outside of the Hukbalahap, it often became a choice between collaborating with the Japanese or collaborating with the Americans.

      Honestly I respect Artemio Ricarte more than I do Emilio Aguinaldo, or Manuel Quezon.
