00:00The forgotten terror of the Japanese in the Philippines during World War II

00:05will not be forgotten, especially those who experienced being a hostage.

00:09One of them, I will tell you who helped him to be saved.

00:14Witness, JP Sorian.

00:18Here in Kalamazoo, Michigan in America,

00:21I met one of the young men who was saved when the Japanese attacked the Philippines.

00:31Dean Hawk is now 85 years old, founder and owner of the Michigan News Agency.

00:39Yes, this has been marvelous.

00:42My mother, my sister and I were living in Baguio until the Japanese first Pearl Harbor

00:52and then the next day they took Clark Field,

00:54all the planes out from the Southeast Asian Air Force at Clark Field

01:00and by the next month the Philippines were invaded of course.

01:05That is Bataan and Corregidor.

01:08They were brought to the University of Santo Tomas in Manila

01:13which served as the largest camp or internment camp for the Americans and Filipino Japanese.

01:21But they were soon taken back to their father who became the guerrilla warfare commission.

01:27At a young age, Dean learned to establish himself in the field within 3 years.

01:34This is where he met the other Filipino youth who was with him in his studies with the help of his mother.

01:41When the US General Douglas MacArthur's force returned to the Philippines,

01:47Dean found hope that he could be saved from the Japanese.

01:51But it was heard by the Japanese forces and they were lined up to be shot.

01:57But before the Japanese forces could start their plan to wipe out the people in the field,

02:03the American soldiers and the Filipino guerrillas arrived.

02:09The reason that I am alive is because the Filipinos helped the Americans liberate us

02:16and they got to us an hour before we were actually going to be shot down by the Japanese.

02:21We were lined up for that and the American tanks got there earlier than thought

02:28because the Filipinos helped them and that is why I am still alive.

02:34And from escaping to the Philippines and coming here to America,

02:37Dean did not return to the Philippines because it was too painful for him.

02:41But according to Dean, the love of the Filipinos will continue to live on in his heart.

02:47From Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA and for GMA Integrated News,

02:52JP Soriano, your Saksi.
