2005 EXPEDITION: YAMASH-I-T-A ( JAPS) TREASURE
Senor Tayopa, back then relationships with Filipinos and Americans had become friendly.? Corregidor was only one place, there are lots of other massive bases for things other than coastal defence. The shipyards and coastal defenses in Subic bay and Sangley Point, Fort McKinley (Fort Bonifacio) where the President is suppose to hole up, Nielsen Field, Nichols Field and Clark Field (the biggest airbase outside of the mainland), Camp O Donnel, Camp John Hay, the Navy Headquarters in Dewey Boulevard,? the bomber and fighter bases in Cagayan De Oro, the supply and logistics airstrips in Cabanatuan.
Oh and the Filipinos used arrows, spears, rifles, thompsons, grease guns and captured jap equipment to fight in Worl War II man, they even had old yellow Boeing Peashooters flown by Filipinos that shot down a zero. The Americans flew P-40s.?
But during the prior American war---los insurrectos had artillery and what were in those days modern rifles (we bought them wholesale in HongKong).? They even had a cavalry and a small navy? ? you couldnt win an open battlefield engagement those days without artillery and cavalry si senor tayopa? Oh and while the Spanish branded them insurrectos...those Filipinos were a legitimate army with ranks and pay and was under the command of a civilian revolutionary grovernment (check out the back of our 5 peso bill).? They even had their own flag (the one you see today but the sun had a face).
Those Spaniards sold the Philippines because it wasnt worth having with all the insurrectos going about.? I heard the Spanish Governor General surrendered after one volley from two American ironclad warshiips in Manila bay?? Im not sure if it was one or two broadside volleys.? Bacolod was even completely overrun by these insurrectos prior to the American arrival and declared themselves an independent republic for two weeks I think.
Oh by the way those massive guns you see in Corregidor? they were mostly mortars and howitzers not cannons like those on Fort Drum
