WHAT HAPPENED TO NIELSON AIRFIELD?

If you look at Ayala Ave. – Makati Ave. and Gil Puyat Ave. (formerly Buendia Ave.) these three roads form a triangle similar to  an airfield.

In fact, the Makati financial district was built around the old Nielson Airfield of WWII. (See Photos)

It was Joseph McMicking’s idea to develop Makati as the new financial center of the Philippines. Yet not a tiny street, park or even a building was named after Joseph McMicking and Roy Hall.

Neither was there anything named after Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Somehow those from Panay Island, the ancestral land of Japanese collaborator-turned Philippine President Manuel A. Roxas and his relatives Ayala, Araneta, Zobel, Soriano end up owning practically everything in the Philippines.

The Old Nielsen Field Tower is now a library. I doubt the library will contain books detailing how McMicking and Hall families were “randomly” found by the Japanese and killed in Jan. 1945 as Gen. MacArthur was nearing Manila. Manuel A. Roxas, Ayala-Zobel’s cousin was working for the Japanese at that time.

Excerpt: “My question was why were those who collaborated with the Japanese treated differently from those who fought with Nazi Germany like the Ukrainians? Did the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have something to do with this leniency and over accommodation of oligarch-traitors?

Here is a 1943 photo of Brig. Gen. Manuel A. Roxas in US Army uniform sitting beside Col. Nobuhiko Jimbo of the Japanese Imperial Army. Later Manuel A. Roxas and other oligarch-traitors would manipulate the April 1946 referendum and circumvent the people’s decision to go back to a Philippine Commonwealth. Nothing short of an independent and sovereign Philippines would save them from going back to prison.

“The crime against our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that’s the essence of inhumanity.” – George Bernard Shaw in his play “The Devil’s Disciple” Act II (1901) If there is such thing as hate crime, there should be the crime of indifference. – Not everything is bad in the Philippines. Here’s a good one. An oligarch and ethnic Spaniard won a contract in France. The Alexander Graham Bell of the Philippines, Augusto Zobel de Ayala and the A. G. Bell of France, Michel Combes signed a deal last 17 Sept. 2014. The photo of the skin and bones starving boy was taken on 12 Oct. 2014.
