Battle For Leyte Gulf – 71 years Later

26 Oct. 2015 – Today is the 71st anniversary of the last day of the Battle for Leyte Gulf (Oct. 23 to 26, 1944).
The Battle for Leyte Gulf started near Palawan Island. Maybe Japan and the U.S. could stage reenactments every year in South China Sea off Palawan Island.

But both countries must ask permission from the People’s Republic of China that recently stole and build their islands in the Spratlys.

(From 26 Oct. 2014) Unlike the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, in the Philippines no U.S. landings or battle of WWII was ever commemorated to this day. And the quisling –oligarchs instead of being tried for treason, imprisoned / executed if found guilty or kept out of politics ended up in power after WWII. Today it is the grandchildren of oligarch-traitors Pres. Aquino III & Manuel Roxas II who are ruling the former U.S. territory.

However 71 years after the Battle for Leyte Gulf, here is the financial score card from Forbes Magazine. Let’s start with the Ten Richest “Filipinos” .

Ten Richest 'Filipinos' who are mostly ethnic Chinese and ethnic Spaniards.
From Forbes List of 50 Richest Filipinos, here are the Ten Richest ‘Filipinos’ who are mostly ethnic Chinese and ethnic Spaniards.
While WWII in the Pacific was fought between Japan and the U.S., in the Philippines, ethnic Chinese and ethnic Spaniards won. This is not to say all ethnic Chinese, ethnic Spaniards, their families, friends and Filipinos from the provinces they came from in the Philippines are all evil.
It is up to us to correct this major mistake. As of 26 Aug. 2015 the combined net worth of the 50 richest Filipinos totaled $73 Billion.

 You saw how rich the 50 richest “Filipinos” have become in 71 years. Now a glimpse of what it means to be poor in the Philippines. I thank Briton Jane Walker and Fr. Kuluke SVD of Germany for their generosity and philanthropy in a particular sector of Philippine society.

During the defense and liberation of the Philippines in WWII, 51 U.S. officers and men earned the U.S. Medal of Honor, 31 received it posthumously.

But to this day, the quisling Republic of the Philippines does not recognize and appreciate the sacrifices of U.S. & Allied soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians during the defense and liberation of the Philippines in WWII.

While WWII in the Pacific was fought between Japan and the U.S., in the Philippines, ethnic Chinese and ethnic Spaniards won.

HOW CAN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY ALLOW THE 50 RICHEST “FILIPINOS” TO CONTINUE AMASSING SO MUCH WEALTH WHILE MAJORITY OF THE NATIVES OF THE PHILIPPINES ARE STARVING & REDUCED TO EATING GARBAGE?

When Briton Jane Walker first saw children rummaging through trash heaps while on a trip to the Philippines in 1996, she decided to do something about it. Employing about 100 people, Walker helps improve the lives of thousands of children and their families who otherwise would be forced to eke out a living, picking through Manila’s garbage dumps. Jennifer Glasse reports.

Here’s another one.

Having to give birth to your children on a rubbish dump is squalor that shocks. The only anchor of hope on a burning Philippine refuse tip is the priest and SVD missionary Fr. Heinz Kulüke from Germany.
