Project 66 Briefer

With our flaming desire to document the history and story of the 66th Infantry Regiment USAFIP NL, the unknown and unremembered liberators of Baguio City and Benguet Province during World War II; we, the Production Team, who are also grandsons and granddaughters of these veterans came up with an audio-visual documentation project which is shortly called "Project 66".

We hope that this documentation effort will serve as a springboard in preserving the forgotten stories of our World War II veterans and will highlight their contribution in defending and restoring our own independence. The output will be a full-length video documentary that will be distributed to the academic institutions as a supplementary material for local history.

This charity project will not only benefit the students and veterans but also the public in general. Its management is currently supervised by ResearchMate, Inc., a research NGO and The OSCAR Alumni Community, Inc. and most of its funding comes from public donations through solicitation. Field operations which include recruitment of talents for the war re-enactments, military and acting trainings, shooting, liaison, and utility work were handled by the youth volunteers who composed the Project 66 Team. To date, the team was able to involve 70 individual volunteers from the youth sector, PNP, and AFP.

All forms of support will be acknowledged at the end of the documentary and names of individual and group/organizational donors will be included in the Production Team as Project Sponsors.

Your acquiescence to assist us will go a long way in rightfully thanking our father- and grandfather-heroes, in educating the youth of today about them, and in valuing and redeeming the waning pride in being an Igorot and a Cordilleran.

my dad and uncles were members of the 121st and 66th regiments. My uncle (121st Reg) passed away last year. He documented from memory (as a 17yr-old conscript) and from memoirs of the veterans of the USAFIP-NL. He had a copy of the roster of the USAFIP-NL. Among the names he mentioned was the late Bado Dangwa of Mt. Province. My other uncle was an officer (PMA '39) in the 66th Reg. The thing is, he is now 94 yrs and his memory is failing badly. My dad belonged to the 121st Regiment. He is 96.

oh my gosh what happened to our schools? they are suppose to teach history. They are so naive about what happened to our great forefathers to fight for our freedom. This is sad.
