                <text>Reconstructed diary (the original was burned when Bataan surrendered) of a promising young Filipino who was an Ateneo law student. Called to active duty with the USAFFE, Philip (as he was known to his friends) became aide de camp to Gen. Simon de Jesus of the Philippine Army’s intelligence service. &#13;
&#13;
The memoirs and diary thus provide the point of view of an intelligence officer – occasionally sneaking into Japanese-occupied Manila – during the siege of Bataan. Very personal, the diary (entitled Random Notes) begins on December 23, 1941 and ends on April 8, 1942. The daily entries are followed by a narration of the death march, periodic entries while a prisoner of war in Camp O’Donnell. The book then jumps to September 21, 1944, the day American planes first bombed Manila since 1942. The diary resumes until Christmas 1944, with explicit descriptions of life in Manila at that time, as well as sentiments of Philip. &#13;
&#13;
An article by him, written for the Manila Free Philippines, is reprinted. Afterword by Zenaida (Nini) Quezon, Quezon’s daughter who married Philip in 1947. Philip was by then a journalist and also aide of Quezon’s widow – Mrs. Quezon, one of her daughters (Baby) and Philip were killed by renegade Huks in 1949. </text>

                <text>Autobiography (ghost-written) of a Hungarian ballet artist and internationally noted impresario and stage producer (ballet, musicals, concerts). Fled from Europe to the US just prior to the outbreak of World War II in Europe. In November 1941 he came to Manila to visit his sister, and was caught by the war. &#13;
&#13;
He describes his three year enforced stay in Manila in pp. 48-59: as a Hungarian national he was treated as a friendly alien by the Japanese, while his Swiss wife was accorded good treatment as a neutral. They faced the rigors and fears of  Manila under Japanese occupation, while trying to make a living teaching music. The couple were involved in the musical notables of Manila, and were also involved in the efforts to assist prisoners of war. During the Liberation period, he helped organize shows for GIs.</text>

                <text>Autobiography of the wife of Benito Soliven, congressman from the Ilocos. She was the mother of ten children (the eldest, Maximo “Max” Soliven, became a noted journalist). &#13;
&#13;
Mrs. Soliven’s husband volunteered for the Philippine Army and became a reserve officer; he was called to duty and served in Bataan, endured the Death March and concentration camp, only to succumb to disease months after his release. The bereaved but indefatigable Pelagia valiantly took up the task of raising their nine children (the youngest died shortly before her husband; her father also died during the war). &#13;
&#13;
Almost half the book is devoted to her wartime experiences (some in Manila; the remaining months in Ilocos Sur), including letters from her husband while a prisoner of war. After the war, she opened a dress shop and managed to send her children through college. &#13;
&#13;
An inspiring book on a woman who could not be defeated.</text>
