A great summary by @MikeDunnAuthor .
To share for the latter part, our grandfather was a WW2 war veteran, and a #DeathMarch survivor. He was one of those who defended the Island of Corregidor, surrendered, and then forced to what we call today the Death March.
After it, they reformed into various guerilla factions and continued the fight for Philippine independence.
Me, my cousins (many of whom are contributors to the successes the #Philippines are enjoying today), my mom and her siblings, my brother, my sister and her two beautiful daughters, we all wouldn't be here today if he did not survive and was not randomly pulled out of the line of the infamous Death March.
This is #history that should never be forgotten. It is not just his-story, it is _our_ story. The story of this great nation and its resilient people the #Filipino.
