Hello, Mr. Marquez -
Ms. Guevara has put it very aptly: "It's too late, too little."
So now the Filipino veterans who fought valiantly alongside with their Brothers American during the Japanese time have to settle for "crumbs". What they'll receive is no compensation at all for their courage and sacrifice. How truly very sad! Victory? Hardly. Those who call it "victory" are puppets on a string. I still think that the veterans are obviously made "a means to an end" for some politicians who are there only to advance their political ambition and pursuit. We should be grateful? There must be a better and higher cause for gratitude.
What I found heartrending was the kind of lunch served to the now aging veterans which is merely adding more insult to injury... rubbing salt on a wound, I'd say. Magpasalamat at mayroon, maski paano? How debasing? And yet the Filvets do not deserve the "least". Certainly not!.
Thank you once again for bringing up issue of the still unaccounted $27,000. I laud you for staying on top of that with a relentless spirit. Way to go, Mr. Marquez.
Continue writing about the truth without fear.
With my warmest regards and respect.
V.M. CRISOLOGO
