  • 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.

Our second aim was to provide a beginning list of soldiers and sailors who served during the time period. Our third aim'was to provide adeqtlate refersnces for those descendants who wanted to join the NSSAR. The NSSAR began accepting applicants who descend from Spanish soldiers in March, 1998, so the first aim was accomplished. li. ; Part 1 was really our first year of work on this project. As we began our second year of work for Part 2, we wanted to find other soldiers and sailor"and patriots who served during the time period in or for California. We also wanted to show how non- soldiers and non-soldier families made their way into California and intermarried with soldiers.

  • ELPIDIO QUIRINO the Udgement of History by SALVADOR P
    ELPIDIO QUIRINO THE UDGEMENT OF HISTORY BY SALVADOR P. LOPEZ Nationalist and Diplomat n 1990, thirty-six years after his death, on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of his birth, it is possible to examine objectively the life and career of President Elpidio Quirino, Iidentify his contributions to the country’s progress and development, and determine his standing among the makers of Philippine history. He did not wake up one morning to find himself at the pinnacle of power. He rose step by slow step from the lowest rung, and from this experience developed a degree of competence that was the envy of many and the reward of but a few. He was the first President to propose industrialization as the basic strategy for progress and development, in terms of concrete program action. He cherished and practiced the tenets of social justice and equity but not at the expense of individual rights, integrity, and self- respect. He was an intrepid nationalist committed heart and soul to the defense of his country and the advancement of the national welfare, whatever the cost. He favored the improvement of the life and welfare of the poor, the underprivileged, and the oppressed through peaceful reform, not by violent revolution. He initiated the policy of establishing more equitable and just relations between the Philippines and the United States, without subservience or domination. He strove to rectify the serious imbalance in the trade between the Philippines and the United States by imposing import controls, a radical measure which drove an American diplomat to make the arrogant and cynical comment: “The trouble with Quirino is that he is taking Philippine independence too seriously.” No Filipino President could wish or hope for a higher compliment than this.
