Passed with much fanfare in December 1935, the National Defense Act (Commonwealth Act no. 1) made "military service obligatory for all citizens" of the Philippines. Specifically, the detailed plan for the emerging nation's new army required all twenty- year old males to register for military duty. The "plan" was ready, prepared under the direction of one of America's most illustrious soldiers, former United States Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur, but was the population? Influential citizens such as Emilio Aguinaldo thought a comprehensive defense scheme unnecessary. "Radical elements" were said to be mobilizing "the masses" to oppose compulsory military training. So politicians rushed home to drum up support for registration, important landowners "urged" their workers to participate, and army spokesmen refuted the criticisms of the system's opponents. By the end of the first day's registration, apprehension had turned into exhuberance. "Brisk scenes" characterized the 2 capital city's five registration sites, and Manila surpassed its quota by the evening of 4 April, only half-way through the registration period. Among the first to sign up was José Malvar, grandson of the Philippine Revolutionary War hero. General Miguel Malvar. Nueva Ecija, "supposed to be another hotbed of communists and agitators and where registration was predicted to meet with failure," witnessed "a record enlistment." Adjacent Pangasinan Province reported an enthusiastic response to registration, as did Cebu. Even young Muslims, thought to be in a state of virtual revolt over the draft, came forward in impressive numbers. The Philippines Free Press suspended a write-in poll on the popularity of the military system. The large number of registrants, it said, was answer enough. By the end of the week, nearly 150,000 men had registered for military service. "I am beginning to think that, perhaps, there is more strength and more will power, more determination on the part of the Filipino people," Commonwealth President Manuel L . Quezon wrote to the American journalist Roy Howard, "than the world has suspected. While this response was a gratifying demonstration of Filipino willingness to bear the burden of independence, it said nothing about the appropriateness for an independent state of the military system Filipinos vere being asked to Quezon to Howard, 15 May 1936, Howard Papers, LC. Accounts of the registration are taken from the Philippines fiarald (2, 3, 6 and 8 April 1936), Manila Tribune (7 and 9 April 1936), and Philippines Free Press (11 April 1936). 3 support. A Military Mission headed by General MacArthur had arrived in Manila in October 1935 with a scheme for the defense of the archipelago in hand. Once there, members of the Mission worked with local officials and rewrote "much of [the plan's] language," while retaining intact "its basic provisions."2 Such a plan had not been seen before in the Philippines, nor in America. General MacArthur told a journalist: "I think it's the world's best defense plan, because we had the opportunity to start from scratch and cut through traditions and out-of-date methods that gum up a lot of armies."3 His observation was plausible in theory, but in practical terms, MacArthur could not avoid reliance on Filipino and American military personnel and military/semi­ military organizations already present in the Islands. They, of course, brought with them traditions and methods--out-of- date or otherwise--upon which the successful implementation of the Mission's plan would rely. Nor could he escape the Robert H. Ferrell (ed.). The Eisenhower Diaries (New York and London: W.W. Norton and Co., 1981), p. 10. This published version of the Military Mission's "official"-- although increasingly personalized--diary kept by Major Dwight Eisenhower, the Mission's chief of staff, during his four years in the Philippines (1935-39) represents only a fraction of the original. The bulk of the diary was long thought to have been destroyed but was rediscovered about a decade ago. Since then, it has been generally unavailable to researchers (including this author). The Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas, has tentatively scheduled the entire diary for publication in 1993 or 1994. ^Article by Jim Marshall

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • George Washington and George Marshall: Some Reflections on the American Military Tradition” Don Higginbotham, 1984
    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #26 “George Washington and George Marshall: Some Reflections on the American Military Tradition” Don Higginbotham, 1984 Though this is my second visit to the Air Force Academy, it is my first opportunity to present an address. I have had more exposure in this regard to one of your sister institutions: West Point. I must be careful not to speak of you as army men and women; but if I forget it will not be out of partiality. Gen. George Marshall at times was amused and at other times irritated by the partiality shown for the Navy by President Franklin Roosevelt, whom you may recall loved the sea and had been assistant secretary of the navy in the Wilson administration. On one occasion Marshall had had enough and pleaded good humoredly, "At least, Mr. President, stop speaking of the Army as 'they' and the Navy as ‘us’!” The title of this lecture suggests the obvious: that I consider it informative and instructive to look at certain similarities of experience and attitude shared by George Washington and George Marshall. In so doing, I want to speculate on their place in the American military tradition. These introductory remarks sound as though I am searching for relevance, and that is the case. No doubt at times historians, to say nothing of their readers, wish that the contemporary world would get lost so as to leave them unfettered to delve into the past for its own sake.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.
