The Japanese that reoccupied the camp took revenge on the people of Los Banos who helped in the operation but were left unprotected by the Americans after rescuing the American civilian POWs. The Japanese burned the whole barrio Batong Malake, from Mayondon to the UPLB campus. The St Therese chapel in the campus was burned, and the people who took shelter in it got bayoneted as they ran out of the burning church. The people received the heavy blow of Japanese wrath and were massacred en masse. 11th Airborne Los Banos Rescue February 23,1945. The 11th Airborne rescue of 2,147 prisoners from the Los Banos Japanese Prison Camp in the Philippines in 1945. It was one of the most dramatic operations of World War II: on February 23rd, 1945, just a few months before the end of the conflict, a combined force of American paratroopers, Filipino guerrillas and amphibious tanks liberated 2,147 prisoners who were facing a massacre at the hands of their Japanese captors. Incredibly, not a single prisoner was killed in the attack. Rescue: Allied Prisoners, Los Banos, Luzon, Philippine Islands.

Q - Tito Ed, me and my sweetheart will be married soon. What advice will you give us? Your answer will be treasured as a gift. A - To stay in love and sabik sa isat-isa, be very close but do not suffocate each other. Allow each other to have/keep some personal, private space kahit mag-asawa na kayo. Respect that space. There could be a very thin line between Admiration and Envy. Try to stick to the A side. Wala na yatang mas nakakadiri pa kesa sa taong may gusto sa yo pero wala kang kagustu-gusto. Iwasang mapandirihan; huwag isiksik ang sarili sa ayaw sa yo. Huwag ipagsiksikan ang sarili sa taong walang likas o kusang pagtingin sa yo. It never works. Attraction is chemical, electrical, cellular, genetic and spiritual. Idagdag pa ang Quantum Physics. HINDI NAPIPILIT. Q - Ano po ang magandang revenge sa ex na talagang dumurog sa puso ko? Ginaga po nya ako ng sobra. A - Be more beautiful, be rich/er, be very fruitful. Or just forget about the whole revenge thing. If he didn't care for you then, he wouldn't care now kahit ka pa maging Bb. Kangkungan or bilyonarya o senator. Forget him. Forgive him. Kung nasakatan ka man, at least you were partly to blame kasi minahal mo sya. Huwag mong ibunton sa kanya ang lahat ng sisi. Nagaga ka nya kasi nagpagaga ka. Choice mo yun. Move on; that's the best revenge When you are elightened to see your flaws, be thankful. At last you could improve on it or at least, you could hide it. And be respectful; only Light can make you see your flaws. Don't just call even people you know, unless they are at work and your call is work-related or you have an emergency. Do not assume people are always free or ready to take in calls. Text first and ask when is a good time to call. And don't forget to very briefly mention what your call would be about. It's considerate to give the person an idea what you want to talk about.
