My mom was there during the liberation of Cebu. She was about 12 back then. She witnessed the bombing of Cebu City. The shoot down and crash of an American fighter plane. And the landings of American troops in a pier. She said the American troops were always called by the same name, “Joe”, as in “Hi Joe”! And they would give away candy bars. She passed away in 2014, I’ll always treasure my mom’s war stories of old Cebu.
Salamat po for the story. I was in Summit Circle in Cebu in Nov 2019 and would have loved to hear that story. I hope you recorded it somehow, if not, please film yourself speaking as best you could po.
what a great2 story
You are so fortunate to know someone and be able to talk to a witness to the war in Cebu. There must be more older ones to record and talk to about the war. The Filipina Pea found one Filipina living in the Jungle who she interviewed as follows: czcams.com/video/QwxOOkxjcGY/video.html I also had a relative who was an Army Air Corp pilot who was shot down and killed during the Battle of Luzon, and is buried in the American Military Cemetery near Fort Bonifacio Global City outside of Manila.
Although it's not really relevant to the video. Philippines in the past is really turbulent even in the 80s, in cebu there are many vigilante groups for example tadtad (christian extremist cult like group who decapitate communists) and kadres, I remember my mom said in her teens, in mambaling when the AFP confronted these vigilantes she remembered that bullets were flying above their heads and when they finally got out of their wooden homes, there were so many bodies that they can't go out without stepping on the dead bodies of the vigilante members. Also if a taho vendor were to cross their turf, he would instantly disappear due to being suspected as a spy, they also punish or kill husbands who beat their wives, not interchangeable, they don't like harming women but sometimes there are members who abuse their power. Fun fact: General Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa is part of the tadtad group but he wasn't assigned in cebu.

To those men who served in the Philippine operation ww2, thank you n salute for your sacrifice.
Salamat from America po. I'm a US Navy veteran, but was only there in PH for vacation.
Im proud to be a grandson of a ww2 veteran soldier..his blood run through my veins. He passed away at the age of 92 on 2010.. i miss him so much;(
Daniel Nazireno , my grandpa was in the Philippines in WW1. He died at 93 years old in 1989. I was in Manila when he died. We are both USMC Vets. He was my inspiration also.
Nice surname
Philippines wasn't involved in ww1 I guess what your saying @Don't eat Yellow snow is the Philippine-American war
I’m also a grandson of WW2 veteran.
@@wayupnorth9420 are you a pilipino
My grandfather was here his name was John Reid Duncan he died in 2001 at 83. It's crazy to think he may even be somewhere in this footage. RIP to Grandpa and my Mom who died this year.
Wow, had never heard of these operations until seeing this. Thank you for sharing.
I am from cebu and in behalf of my late great grandparents "daghang salamat" for liberating us in japanese captivity. To see what was old pardo and it's church was like, I am grateful to see the old cebu city.
Australia was saved by the Americans too.
Never forget the Filipino-American war. Americans are not our friend.
@@user-hz3rf8ld6l lol, talk when one who help philippines to be a stable and ready for it's own government.
@@paulhijara3580 It's for their own interests. USA wants our raw materials for very low price and make products out of it then just sell the surplus to us. That's how America exploited us. They made us as consumers. Same thing they did to Cuba. Tigilan mo na yang kakatsupa mo sa America. Pati nga citizens nila binababoy din nila.
@@user-hz3rf8ld6l sinasabi mo as if walang naitulong Yung america sa atin. Walang pinagkaiba Yung mga pinoy sa mga americano, parehong mga baboy at iba ay sakim sa kapangyarihan.
Don't you know in wartime there was always a unit of battlefiels cameraman under the military who also fought like a soldier in combats , their main duty was to film to keep war material.
So much blood and bones of the brave , selfless people sacrificed for peace.
I know
Maraming salamat.
The Greatest Generation heroically defended our country...Today?? We fight over bathrooms!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And yet they claim that we are the greatest generation. LMAO the nerves of these soyboys.
Ayy !! Bathrooms are our kingdom
sir but we dont have a war to win
Instead of fighting over which gendered restroom should be used we ought to just remove gender from the equation all together. One big restroom.
"Oh you're scared men are going to be perverts among women?" That's rather sexist of you.
Thanks for sharing this video. I can see a glimps of what my birthplace looks like during the war
Wow!the motion picture tells history in far more clear details.I am from Cebu and it is far more astounding having WW2 history by means of a film like this.The streets,buildings,places here in Cebu during that time really was such a location of moving events.But sadly now,most of the historical areas are just either crumbling to destruction,giving way to modern structures or just lay there,many are obsolete and are mute survivors of the past.
Cliff 47 That is sad,but also promising.Cebu has advanced and prospered since this video.But it would have been nice if the survivors could have left a memorial with their story.
my wife is from pardo cebu and still a church there with bullet holes and such but mostly not much evidence of the war anymore - looks so much different now than this video - haventy been there yet but wife wants to take me this year
I agree mate. I'm from cebu as well, a d I'd love to see such structures preserved.
Young Filipinos don't know much about history...
Haha im from talisay poblacion and my house is right beside exactly wherr they landed. In talisay beach. I also have a house in pardo near the church and live in pardo currently. Nindot kaayo sauna kay puro ra kahoyan
Amazing! Makes my two tours to Balad Iraq look like a cake walk.
Great film footage. Thank you for sharing it.
Proud ako na yung lolo ko lumaban sa ww2 im proud filipino

News update for HistoryFlicks4u. Some members of the 164th regiment, Americal Division participated in the Cebu operation. My father was one of them. He was in M Company 164th regiment, Americal Division. He was a heavy machine gunner. My dad told me some stories about his WWII experiences but not all. Sometimes when he talked about them his eyes would water up and he'd have a blank stare on his face. Then he'd get very angry. Best to just leave him alone for a while and let him calm down on his own. My dad lost a lot of his friends during the war. He told me that the local people in Cebu were some of the nicest and kindest people he'd ever had the pleasure of meeting. He said the same was true in Manila as well. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 94.
The fighting in the Pacific was some of the worst in WWII. Your father has been through hell. When I was in the US Air Force, I met a civilian federal employee who served in WWII. He said I was the first to ask him about the war, and it was the first time he talked about it. He was in the Navy in the Pacific, and saw tough combat, many of his friends killed right in front of him. The Navy took some of the largest casualties in the Pacific War -- we lost at least 12 aircraft carriers, not to forget all the other war ships that were sunk or damaged. My father is now 99, and he served in the Pacific, stationed at Pearl Harbor. He did not see as much combat at others, but they were all brave.
Thank you so much for this piece of history 👍
Thank You for this. I am going through some of my fathers pics from the war. A lot of them say Cebu, Tubabao, and Mactan, etc.. Found this doing a search for info.
Me too
Scan the pictures digitally one high resolution to preserve them.
Can you scan the pictures and upload it to the internet? I would like to see them pictures
Cebu is my other home. I have videos on my CZcams. Mactan is an island connected by bridges to Cebu City and Mandaue City (just next to each other). My wife is from the south part of Mactan island called Cordova.
Pat Boyle Wow. Your father fought in Tubabao.
In the process of tracking down information on both of my grandfathers. One was Division 2 in a tank in the Philippines and the other stormed Normandy.
Pretty good video. Thanks
Wow I used to swim on Talisay beach 35 years ago. It's now all developed and Pardo is in the middle of Cebu city. The metropolitan Cebu area now has about 3 million people.
Hi i was wondering if I can use this for our project in filipino we will give credits to you
I am from cebu... thank u for the liberation
America is traitor
Bakit ka mag pasalamat ka sa kano ang amerikano kay mauy kalaban

as a 43 year old Filipino living in the Philippines, i have not heard of Caballo Islands.
Caballo Is. is the small island located next to Corregidor. Off limits to civillian. (google it,)
Such brave young men wasting away before our feet....
most here in young people today know nothing about history, just play there video games
A youngster was playing a war video game he did not believe me and laughed when I told him the scenario he was playing my grandfather was fighting in. The scenario?.. ..Gallipoli
ILove history and videogames
Thank the education system in America for that.
Video games can be a good influence to start getting interested in history. I can't count how many times I bought military history books, memoirs of actual soldiers so I'd know more about those simulated battles I played until reading overtook my time for gaming. This is true for many and might also not be for others.
Ok boomer
Thank you America,
Im from cebu
Who cares where you from
@@slr2327 who cares about your irrelevent comment lol stfu pls
Thank you Leo for the kind words po. I'm an American Navy veteran and been to Luzon, Mindanao and Cebu. My girl is in Tarlac now, but I cannot get a tourist visa and it is killing me.
@@slr2327 The landing of Magellan's fleet in the shores of Cebu in 1521 is what makes the whole Philippines now. Cebu is very significant in Philippines - US history. People in this tiny small take pride with their Cebuano roots and culture.
Crazy that one of the men in those videos at the landing at Talisay could potentially be my grandfather. He was part of the 182nd landing there during the initial liberation.
This is amazing
Pardo in Cebu part is the best part of cebu because it so clean and nice tourist spot
Respect
My Father, Grandparents survived WW2 here in Cebu.
I'm from cansojong talisay cebu my great grandfather fought that time, he is Rolando Salazar.
How did they film this🤔. Amazing
They had camera men who filmed almost every battle in the pacific
@@joem7582 yeah but a lot of camera men also died
Using a vintage camera.
Using Vintage Film Camera obviously... even the camera man was killed the film still survived probably...
Yeah There's no Drone Camera That time so that's real person and that guy is fearless
My uncle was born in Leyte, during this war. That’s crazy. His name is Washington
Thumbs up for the camera men!
That's Australian ships giving cover fire 🔥
Never heard of this in history class 🤔
6:05 still the same Pardo church standing Today
Bes when filming is with out Hollywood!
I'm glad you upload this WW II videos to open the eyes of my Young Fool country men. Let this be an eye opener to these fools who are against U.S. intervention in the country.
Ahhaa
Salamat po
Nah, America invaded us before the Japanese. It's America fault that we got attacked by the Japanese by setting up bases in our land. If America would just leave us the f**k alone in the first place, then Japan wouldn't intend to occupy our land and attack us. You better stop acting like America's little bitch!
Ahahahahaha arf arf arf, si amo kung americano
Ahahahahaha arf arf arf, si amo kung americano
Hi! I would like to clarify who the American commander that time rescuing Cebu was? I am writing an article about it. Thank you!
Douglas MacArthur
My father Bernard J. Tonning received a silver star for his heroic actions in this battle!

My great great grandfather fought in ww2 as a fillipino soldier and he killed to many Japanese but I don't know if he is in this video
If my grandma and grandpa didn’t survive this, I would’ve never been here
i saw 4 hokage @ 5:13 shinobi 4 great war

My grandmother's father is a World war 2 veteran
We are honored also the American soldiers they are redemers.
Michael Esgana wala pa helicopter noong World War II.
Sana mag sama sama you americano at pilipino para lumaban.
im from manila thx usa
Please thank me as a US Navy veteran by allowing me in to see my girl in Tarlac. The GCQ/MGCQ is not allowing me in and it is really messing me up. Even trying to get out to meet in neutral country, PH BI gives so many problems with documents it is like a prison there po.
This is so impotant to Cebu City history sir.
Can you imagine what it looked like from say Summit Circle po? I was there in Nov 2019-this is great footage po.
I am from Cebu City
Grabe talaga ww2 na yan. Kung nabubuhay pa ako that time diko alam kung ano ma experience ko
trauma cguro sa bomba palang at sa mga bala wla na
@@mmv-gaming6795 tama ka
I think this is where the Haksawridge movie came
6:05 is that the church of pardo,,??
I want to go back to this years and fight for my country too
Yeah, I hate our generation of soyboys. I'd rather live a short but honorable life than to live a long life with these soyboys.
I want to go back on 1939. So that I can fight for my life for my family and for my country
Puny people acting brave.
No you wouldn't, you have no idea what you're talking about, nor do you have the spine to do so.
@CKS1949 I'm a veteran and DAV Benefits Officer and could not agree more with you.
American Filipino BROTHERHOOD FOREVER!
so this is what cebu looks like back then :o
I wondered soldier amazed to this beaches
HACKSAW RIDGE

Oh CEBU Pagkatahum Mo Kaniadto! ❤️
Thanks American heroes. Saludo
my grandpa just woke up after hearing this
From 🇵🇭
My father was there……and got a small wound from a sniper.
Again, no mention of Wendell Fertig.
Fertig was in Mindanao, Lt Col James Cushing was the Commanding Officer CAC.
Does US marines participate on this liberation?
at 5:52 could this be the bulacao river between bulacao,Pardo & bulacao,talisay ?? At 6:05 you can see in the background Sto.tomas de Villanueva parish church & the convent of Pardo.
Where is caballo islands in the philippines?
Near Corregidor Island.
My grandfather are ww2veteran
Could the Japanese Discovered how Cebu Datu Lapu-Lapu Defeated Killed Magellan Would they do the same Banzai Attack?
@lol shit yah, but lapu lapu was the leader so the credits go to him
@lol shit How did you know? We're you there?
Japan still hasn’t said sorry for this 😤
@@HeilFede it's just atomic bombs. "Nuclear bombs" don't exist it's heavy oropaganda
Has your country apologised for it's murders. Ah no.
i live in Cebu 😮
The Japanese military even treat their own solider like dirt and their life is only their secondary concern during WWII. Why they treat their prisoner badly is because they hate soldier who surrender. Those american, British and allied soldiers who surrender must have regretted their decision. In Singapore the allied soldier has more soldiers than the Japanese but their incompetent commander don't really know the actual strength of the japanese army.
During the battle of Singapore. Although having the hardest sector to defend, Australian troops managed to beat the japanese forces back time and time again. They inflicted such heavy loses on the japanese, that the japanese forces were ready to abandon the assualt on Singapore. But the British and Indian troops surrendered leaving Australians in a unwinnable situation as it left their flanks too exposed. Many survivors of the Japanese prisons, did indeed say that if they what was going to be like, they would have kept fighting to the death.
So why japan surrendered? If they hate that way..they ate their pride lol
@@jiankiefersalazar4916 Japan actually would have fought to the death if not for a deal struck then to exclude the emperor from any responsibility. When that was done, only then did Emperor Hirohito addressed Japan to say the war was over. He never even used the term surrender, but stated the war was over.
@@jiankiefersalazar4916 afraid of Soviet Union. They would have Gulaged the top leaders.
@@Milliardo5
Big mistake Emperor should have been the first to be hanged in front of our parents in Manila instead of that Japanese commander who looted tons of golds and hide them in our islands.
Thanks for saving east Asia America Australia is eternally greatful!
Aaron Laird spot on. We’d return the favour for America any time and have done so in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. 🇦🇺👍🏻👍🏽🇺🇸
uhm Philippines didnt have oil...
Now Hejde, you know the babysitter told you not to play on the computer.
@@hejdeodlan9262 they saved our country. we even built a monument for general mcarthur. our main highways are also named after him. so just shut up.

@@JohnDacles His mom used to tell him about how hard life was during the war. She was just a young girl then. There was nothing to eat. No water to drink. The family hid in the mountains where her mom gave birth to her youngest sibling.
Your mom's story is practically the same as the one told to us by our grandparents. They too hid in the mountains where my aunt was born in a cave. She was also the youngest. Thanks for sharing.

Where part in cebu ,island?
It says the city, but I do not know where they landed, so I am thinking Cebu city in Cebu.
Talisay now a city is the next town to Cebu City. El Pardo is a barangay or barrio part of Cebu City right next to the boundary of the town of Talisay.
