		<description>We can remember &quot;Bataan has fallen&quot; and the USAFFE including the guerillas who waged a &quot;guerilla war of resistance unparalled in the annals of unconventional warfare&quot; better if the status of Territorial Filipinos (Filipinos born during the American territorial period between 11 April 1899 and 04 July 1946) is restudied more thoroughly.</description>

		<description>From: Paragraph 3, above, of &quot;Bataan Has Fallen&quot;. 

&gt;&quot;For what sustained them through these months of incessant battle was a force more than physical. 

It was the force of an unconquerable faithÃ¢â‚¬â€something in the heart and soul that physical adversity and hardship could not destroy. 

It was the thought of native land and all that it holds most dear, the thought of freedom and dignity and pride in those most priceless of all our human prerogatives.&quot;

Brilliant.  Absolutely, unequivocally brilliant to have reminded us, MLQ3.

~~~
Gluemax?   
The peopleÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s outrage against forces that are wont to suppress their freedoms?

Make no mistake.   
As the above quoted pages in history show, it is apparent that it is genetically ingrained into each one of us to confront, defy, and stand down the evils that you and your coven are contemplating to impose on our country. 
We&#039;ve been splintered thus far.   But that&#039;s about to change.

In a serendipitous turn of Grace by the Almighty;
Commissioner Borra has found his balls.
Solita Monsod,  -who has always had balls where they count the most- has finally been knocked to her senses.

The Bishops of CBCP have found their balls.
Fr. Bernas has always used them to great and timely effect..
-And now, studentsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ stirrings point up a new found awareness.  -A youthful social and political coming of age as it were.. tsk, tsk, tsk..

Notice the SNOWBALLING of all these crucial balls making their presence felt?
Your TRAIN doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t stand a chance against this avalanche of BRAVE BALLS, baby.

All you have backing you up is a bunch of toady cowards who abide by nothing other than the money that momentarily buys you their loyalty.   

Yours is a tenuous honor among thieves, sweetheart!   DoesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t it just gall you to have to pay so much money that you and FG have had to work so hard to steal to get these people to work?

Sheeeesh!
ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s enough to make you ponder going on a retreat!  Doesn&#039;t it?
Retreat!   Now thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a thought..
Retreat -while you still can (avoid the can).

Have a Blessed Holy Week, yÃ¢â‚¬â„¢all.</description>

		<description>In school, we were taught that the piece, Bataan Has Fallen, was authored by the late Carlos Romulo and is included in his book, I Saw the Fall of the Philippines.  This piece became an elocution piece that most of us in HS had to memorize and declaim.

But one comment names the author as the late Salvador P. Lopez.

http://www.abantetonite.com/issue/jan0905/enter_lamikmik.htm
This site credits the piece as a collaboration of Lopez, Romulo, Ma Guerrero, 

Can anybody confirm who the real author is?</description>
