This is a site of my childhood memories of the Japanese-American War in the Philippines, 1941-1945. The photo is General McArthur landing in Leyte fulfilling his promise of "I shall return", liberating the Philippines from the Japanese invaders. Some of the photos and videos in this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention in infringing your copyrights.

Super Typhoon Nina Slammed Marinduque-Damage at Chateau Du Mer
I am crying as I am posting the following photos sent by my sister-in-law who was in Amoingon, Boac at Chateau Du Mer, Christmas Day. The damage to the landscaping and some structures will cost a lot of money. Luckily no one was hurt and we will recover. The clean-up will probably take at least one week to one month.
According to the news Super Typhoon Nock-ten was the most intense late December tropical cyclone anywhere on the globe in over a half century. Known in the Philippine area of responsibility as "Nina," this super typhoon first made landfall on Christmas Day as the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, with winds of 155 mph. Nock-ten/Nina was the strongest Christmas Day tropical cyclone anywhere on the globe dating to 1960, according to Colorado State University tropical scientist, Dr. Phil Klotzbach.
