Show ZE AID LAROCO IL VEY D MB R 11 2004 BEC: Well I was wondering. I had read a story about some Am rican ldi r wh were in the Philippines, and rather than surrendering they went up in the mountain and hid for a while. And the Japanese would come and hunt them and try to find them. ZEN: Yeah. BEC: But you don't recall any American soldiers that you knew about or that you saw? ZEN: No. No. BEC: Not in the barrio where you were? ZEN: No. Not in the place where we lived. Not in the barrio where we were located. But usually those American families that fled from their place were in the, what we called the mountain province-and if you heard Baguio City, that's where the temperate and climate is so good. Is so good. And most Americans lived there. And we didn't hear much of people being tortured. BEC: Right. So as far as you know, they were able to return back to their homes? ZEN: Right. Yeah, I think they did. BEC: Well, that's interesting. You said that by and large the Japanese, were, I don't know if they were nice to you, but they weren't mean; you got along okay? ZEN: Yeah, we got along okay. Unlike some places, especially in Manila, we heard that they were mean. I don't know. We heard that they'd throw babies up and out of the backpack. But in other places they were nice. They were mean to the barrio lieutenant, as I said, because they wanted to get something out of him immediately. BEC: So if they felt that you weren't any kind of a threat they just left you alone? 13 |
