This is my first article for ViewsHound that won a gold award. This article describes the war from a child point of view. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941, I was only 7 years old. My family decided to evacuate from the big city of Jaro, Iloilo to my mother hometown, Barotac Viejo. My father was also a dental officer and joined the Philippine Guerrilla forces fighting against the Japanese invaders. I heard all of the Japanese atrocities that killed my mother relatives, saw planes on dog fights and an actual platoon of Japanese soldiers. It was a terrifying experience as a child.
Part 2 was my wife experiences in the island of Marinduque and Episode or Part 3 was my cousin's war experiences as a teenager in Iloilo.
