Where are the GI’s? The Americans left us to fight their war. General McArthur promised he’d return. But, when?
We heard the Japanese officers at the neighboring barrios were kind. This was opposite to the one assigned at our Barrio. Captain Takeshi was brutal. Even his soldiers feared him. We were told his name means a fierce warrior. His god was his samurai.
Barrio Apitong…it’s where the greatest Eskrimadors of the whole country lived. I’m the 5th heir to the task handed down from generation to generation from my great-great Grandfather, the first Olisi Pares, GrandMaster Gorio. The heirs have sworn to help and protect the oppressed. That vow has never been broken.
