Advantages and Disadvantages by the Japanese in the Philippines

Advantages

1. There are absolutely none. Japanese rule was brutal. The Filipinos suffered in the
hands of the Japanese. I believed that Filipinos of that generation learned how to fight
and also learned how to pick up the pieces after losing everything they learned to
survive and thrive without letting the past drag them down.

Disadvantages

1. More than a thousand Filipinos, composed of mothers, girls, and gay men, some as
young as 10, were imprisoned, forcibly taken as "comfort women".

2. The Filipinos that were forced to sexual slavery by the Japanese were kidnapped
from the population and were routinely gang-raped, tortured, and humiliated.

3. Many were also murdered and disposed like animals.

4. During the occupation, the Japanese were also known to have killed Filipino
infants as an act of entertainment and stress-reliever.

5. The victims were forced by the Japanese to dig their own graves to a human
experimentation.
