Happy Birthday to Jose R. Macario! He Is My Father.

Dec. 26, 2013

Today would have been his 94th birthday. Below are some of the mementos of WWII he gave including his USN training aid for Morse code; (He was a signal man in the US Navy), his dog tags and the medals he got.

Along with my uncle Cenon Aldana-Cosme and Constancio G. Cosme, he walked the second Death March after the Fall of Corregidor, the infamous first Death March was in April after the Fall of Bataan. Ironically the Fall of both Bataan and Corregidor are holidays in the Philippines while they have never held a single Liberation Day Parade of celebration whatsoever.since the end of WWII.

By 1948 when quisling president Manuel A. Roxas died, he had hoped the old U.S. Navy in the Philippines will be reinstated but the sham republic survived. So he went to Guam where he eventually worked as a fireman for the U.S. Air Force throughout the Korean War and beyond.

My mom didn’t want to join him on Guam insisting that the Philippines is U.S. Territory and that the U.S. government should be involved in the post-WWII administration of the islands.

Economics: Another Great Depression? (B. Macario, Philippines/U.S.A. Aug. 8, 2009)

Dec. 16, 2013: This is one of the WAIS posts that’s not on the Forum’s website. The start of the discussion is : Economics: Another Great Depression? (Tor Guimaraes, US 08/06/09 7:31 am) http://waisworld.org/go.jsp?id=02a&objectType=post&o=43909&objectTypeId=38159&topicId=92

Tor Guimaraes writes: The stock market is at its high for the year, and the CNBC commentators are mentioning DOW 10,500 as the likely target for this year since the “Great Recession” is over and the economy is recovering. If so, the Obama stimulus is working and we can go back to business as usual. Unfortunately the evidence is not cooperating with this relatively happy scenario. The Dow may indeed reach over 10,000 based on wishful thinking about the economy and the favorable latest company earnings reports. But much of the earnings improvements are due to cost cutting, including cutting jobs which adds to unemployment. . . . .

Other WAISers weighed in.
