1. The scene starts with the japs talking about their plan (na overheard sa spy)

IJA Leader: Oi! Kiite, Kiite! Word is - our northern outpost has been suffering fatal strikes
for a while now and they need resupply. We are tasked to deliver rations to
them at 0600 tomorrow. We move fast, maintain tight formation, and secure
the precious cargo. Wakarimasu ka?

IJA Asst: But, sir, how will we take care of the guerilla on the way? They have been
bugging us for a while now?

IJA Leader: Hah, baka na! What are you saying? They know nothing of this!

IJA Asst: But what if they get a hold of this, sir?

IJA Leader: Is that an insubordination I hear? With our army, they won’t even get close
enough. We have numbers, we have guns, we move in groups. What do
they have?

IJA Asst: Ah, *bows* moushiwake gozaimasen.

IJA Troop 1: Abare-dono, watashi wa nishi kara okura reta. Should we bring our strongest
soldiers for this mission?

IJA Asst: Agreed. *gikamay si troop 2 and 3*

IJA Leader: Tell them our play, Lieutenant.

IJA Asst: Ha! We do formation A. Precious cargo in the middle with tight formation.
Understood?

IJA Troop 1-3: Ryoukai!

Spy: *in hushed tone* Sige, sige kalma lang, kalma. Ibalita ko ni sa Datu.
2. Next scene is the spy tells the leader about the plan of the Japanese (realizing how
unbeatable their army was)

Spy: Datu Dima Atu, naa ko’y nakalap na balita sa mga hapon *heavy breathing*

Datu: Oh, ginhawa sa kabayan.

Spy: Gaplano silang mag-hatud ug maingong suplay padung sa norte ugma mga
ala-sais sa kabuntagon. Ako ning nakita bilang usa ka chansa nga putlon
ang suplay maong sila magkalisod. Gahuna-huna silang wala’y nakabalo sa
ilang plano, pero pwede nato pakuratan ug atake.

Datu: Mao ba, kabayan? Sige daghang salamat. Kabalo ba ka unsa kadako ang
ilang giplanong tropa?

Spy: Gahakot sila sa ilang mga armas ug katawhan, mahal na datu.

Datu: Ah sige, nagatoo usab akong nindot kini na chansa busa magbuhat ta’g
plano sa pag-atake. Tapoka sila!

3. Next is the leader formulates a plan and just so happen to decide na mag hit and run
sila since it’s their best shot

Datu: Ugma sa ala sais sa kabuntagon naa tay nakitang chansa. Chansa para sa
kakulangon ug suplay sa mga hapon. Tungod niini, mas magkalisod sila sa
ilang tagsa tagsang kampo. Ang atong tumong kay hit-an-run, ig-on nato
sila’g madali pero dulot nga atake. Kanang atake nga wala’y balos mahitabo

Guerilla 1: Mahal na datu, unsaon man nato na siya pagbuhat?

Datu: Gamay ra ta. Wala kaayo ta’y armas, pero kita ang taga-diri. Atoa ning
lugara. Sila ang dayuhan. Gamiton nato atong kahibalo sa lugar. Ato silang
pakuratan ug atake nga kanang di na sila maka-balos.

Guerilla 2: Unsa’y estratihiya nato, Datu Dima Atu?

Datu: Diri nato sila atakehon sa may gamay’ng walog. Mag-gikan kita sa taas
kanang di sila makabantay. Human sila magkandarapa usa kita mu dali-dalig
batsi.
 Guerilla 1: Ahhh! Nindot na imong plano Datu Dima Atu. Busa kuyuga kami ug among
ihatag among kinabuhi para aning operasyon!

Datu: Kamo gayod akong mga gisaligan maong salamat sa gayng suporta,
kabayan.

Guerilla 1 & 2: Sige, Datu. Kami magpreparar na.

4. Next kay ga prepare na sila for attacks (going to their posts)

*sharpening swords, ayoayo sa clothing kunuhay*

Guerilla 2: Mag-budol ta human ani ha? Nangala man kog Inasal run uy.

Guerilla 1: Ang pangutana, buhi pa kaha ta pagbalik?

Guerilla 2: Patay na. Patay na patay sa imo.

Guerilla 1: Bay…*hapit muhalok*

Guerilla 2: Boang ka? Aysig!...Unsaon man nato pagbalik kung di na ta buhi? Maka-uli
tang duha kabayan ug mag-inasal kita malipayon. Salig sa atong datu
kabayan.
*naay chaotic noise chuchu*

Guerilla 1: *whispers* Huy, yati! naa na sila! pag andam na! (mo sulod na gamay ang
japanese and mabantayan na nila)

5. Attack day (the troops started the attacks)

Japanese leader: The silence. It's deafening. But that’s good. It means we’re alone. But we
have to be cautious, karera wa doko ni iru (where are the guerillas)?
Asst: Perhaps we were just early, sir. Ano baka wa mada ne teru! (Those idiots are probably still
sleeping.) *Scoffs*
Troop 2: HAHAHAHA baka.
Troop 3: We're just too strong for them anyways.
Troop 1: We really hit them good last time, probably cowering by now.
*they all laugh*

~dead silence~
~confident ang japanese nga nangatulog ra ang natives or nanagan~

*the guerilla attacks* - improvise lang tag mga storya2 diri like mga expressions chuchu
*na surprise ang japanese

"Banzai!" - Charge!
"Uttei!" - Fire!
"Kurae" - Eat this
"Iku zo" - Let's go
"Saseru ka!" - I won't let you do that!
"Kuso" - Shit

Narration: The clash happened so quickly that the Japanese had no time to react. With
numerous fallen, some wounded, and the cargo damaged – they had no choice but to retreat
and regroup. From then on, the hit-and-run tactics of the guerilla were widely used in battles. As
they use them, they also consider the effectiveness of the attack, the terrain, and the exact
timing. They hit the Japanese where they least expect it.

THE END
