-——Filipinos have not forgotten WWII. ——

Back in 1966, I worked on the 12th floor in the Sarmiento building on Ayala Ave in Makati.

Several floors below were the offices of the Mitsubishi corporation. When the boss got on the elevator the Phillippinos would crush themselves back against the elevator walls to avoid him. He and Mitsubishi were involved in war reparations.

Perhaps the younger generation of Filipinos is more tolerant toward Japan. I knew some Filipionos when I was growing up in California in the 1950s. I can’t print what they thought about the Japanese.
