There are no doubts about the heroism of the Philippine
Scouts and the Philippine Army during the battle of Bataan, a battle celebrated
as one of the most decisive during Second World War. At great odds stacked against
them, they faced the Japanese hordes gallantly, defeated but defiantly proud.
But in a true nationalist point of view, their gallantry was
in vain. They werte fighting for the wrong cause. The heroes of Bataan
sacrificed themselves more for the benefits of the American imperialistic
motives and not for the motherland. They fought so that the capitalist could remain
in power to oppress the poor masses.
They are heroes, as many in history are heroes because of
their act. There are thousands of heroes who fought in the great crusades who
died thinking they were fighting for their God. There are countless heroes who
fought for Kings and emperors. They have been made to believe that they were
fighting for the keepers of the Lord’s laws. But history, without divesting
them of their heroic status, proved that they fought and died for the wrong cause.
We honor them and keep their names on the altar of the
immortals, but not the cause they died for. The heroes of Bataan did not die
for the Philippines. They died for the American capitalist imperialists.
The
Philippine Scout and the Philippine Army are not even Filipino Organizations. They are manned
by Filipinos but were organized, trained and equippedby the US precisely for
the object of serving American interests. During the Fil-American war, they
were used to fight against the Filipino revolutionaries who continued the
struggles for independence. During the American occupation,, they were used to
bring down the upsurge of nationalism of those who rerjected the American rule.
In the Second Worlwar, they are used to defend the American corporations and
American imperialist role in the area.
HONOR TO THE FILIPINO HEROES, DOWN WITH THE US IMPERIALISM!
