Man of Destiny: MacArthur's Triumph and Tragedy in the Phili

This is my 14-year-old son's submission to the Junior Individual Documentary category of National History Day 2007. This video took first place at the school level, tied for first at the regional Central New York level, and was one of six finalists at the New York state level. Unfortunately, it failed to advance to the NHD national finals to be held in Maryland in July 2007, but it still stands as an excellent documentary about General Douglas MacArthur's exploits in the Philippines.

This kind of twists history. I'm sorry, but from an academic point of view this is merely US propaganda and not at all acceptable.

Great Job kid !

As for those guys bashing on each other. I believe it is fair to say that we Filipinos especially those civilians like my grandmother and many elders are still with us. We owe it to the Americans who liberated us from the Japanese. They were on a breaking point because of starvations and atrocities by the Japanese rulers. What matters most, those survivors of WWII has a right to say on what's like back then... we will never know...my 2 cents.

@GaolisVideoLog You're reply is snide but uninformative. What "academic point of view" are you talking about? How is it US propaganda? Be specific if you can.

yes..the Filipino soldiers have offered safe passage to US soldiers during WW2, they have fought side by side and died fighting for freedom,but where is America now?..they have abandoned the Philippines favoring Middle East countries with billions of aids..sad history of old friendship..

Americans are the one who introduced guns to the japs and when ww1 started they had to be forced to fight. They fucking supported the nazis. Hitler was the man of the year in time magazine
