Samuel Gaches, owner of the department store HE Heacock Co., put up KZRH (Radio Heacock) in 1939. A year later, the firm acquired KZRC (from store owner Isaac Beck) to cover the Cebuano market. KZRH's radio broadcasts centered on music, variety shows, comedy skits and short newscasts. Jazz and ballads became standard fare. With English language, western music, and American voices dominating the airwaves, radio supplemented the educational infrastructure established by the Thomasites and became an agent for the Americanization of Uncle Sam's "little brown brother." Filipinos were in an era of "flapper" modernism, adapting more and more to American ways. Jazz music was in the air. Aggressive advertising promoted drinking, smoking and driving flashy automobiles. Women wore shorter skirts, bobbed their hair, put on more make-up, and received the right to vote. Globally, technological innovations were the order of the day. Kodak produced the flash camera. Edwin Armstrong built the first FM transmitter station. And RCA produced the first TV sets -- with NBC, CBS, and BBC publicly demonstrating the power of television. As the shadows of the second world war loomed over the horizon. radio highlighted the conflicting ideologies of the so-called "Co-Prosperity Sphere" as bannered by overt propaganda from the japanese military, against the democratic ideals embedded in the forbidden programs aired by defiant Resistance forces on their underground stations which broadcast on <b>...</b>

The Filipino Flag The Filipino flag has an interesting story. It was made in Hongkong by Mrs. Marcela de Agoncillo, wife of Don Felipe Agoncillo. During his exile in Hongkong, General Aguinaldo designed the flag as it looks today. Mrs. Marcela de Agoncillo sewed it with the help of her daughter Lorenza and Mrs. Josefina Herbosa de Natividad(niece of Dr. Jose Rizal). It was made of silk with a white triangle at the left containing a sunburst of eight rays at the center, a five pointed star at each angle of the triangle, an upper stripe of dark blue, and a lower stripe of red. The white triangle stands for equality; the upper blue stripe for peace, truth and justice; and the lower red stripe for patriotism and valor. The sunburst of eight rays inside the triangle represented the first eight provinces that took up arms against Spain. The three stars symbolized Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The flag which Mrs. Agoncillo made in Hongkong was taken to the Philippines by General Aguinaldo. It was hoisted officially at Kawit on June 12, 1898, in connection with the proclamation of Philippine independence. From that date, it has served as the National Flag of the Filipinos. The symbols on the white triangle of the Philippine flag are an eight rayed sun and three stars in gold. The sun represents the dawning of a new era of self determination that was desired in 1897 (when the flag was first designed) after the Spanish-American war and the US promise of independence, which was <b>...</b>
Taiwan Reacts to Philippines' Deportation of Taiwanese Nationals to China
For more news visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com or Follow us on Twitter ☛ http A row has developed between Taiwan and China after the Philippines deported Taiwanese nationals to mainland China. The move is causing some alarm as it suggests the Philippines regards the Chinese regime as sovereign over Taiwan. On February 2nd, the Philippines extradited 14 Taiwanese nationals, along with 10 Mainland Chinese, over their suspected involvement in a fraud ring targeting Chinese nationals. The extradition has outraged Taiwan, because it suggests the Chinese regime and not Taiwan itself has jurisdiction over the Taiwanese people. Taiwan's Economic and Cultural Office in Manila was trying to block the deportation and had obtained a restraining order, but to little avail. Taiwan's Foreign Minister Timothy Yang says Taiwan will now tighten up immigration policies for Filipinos. [Timothy Yang, Taiwan's Foreign Minister]: "First, within this week, we will recall our ambassador, Mr. Lee back to Taiwan to review our relations with the Philippines. Second, for all kinds of laborers coming from the Philippines, we will toughen up the examination processes for all labor affairs applications and visa applications." Yang says Filipinos with legal working visas or emergency caretakers will not be affected, but Taiwan will cancel its visa waiver policy for Filipino visitors with US, Canadian, Japanese, United Kingdom, European Schengen, Australian and New Zealand visas.

A PilipinasMabuhay100 exclusive: His Excellency, President MANUEL LUIS QUEZON, Second President of the Philippines (First President of the Philippine Commonwealth) (1935-1944), in a speech broadcast to the Filipino People — delivered in the 1920's-30s. A RARE RECORDING! According to President Quezon's grandson, now Undersecretary of the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office, Manuel 'Manolo' L. Quezon III, this speech was delivered after the President was diagnosed with tuberculosis and "assumed that he didn't have much longer to live." During his tenure, President Quezon led the Philippines on its first steps towards full independence; painstakingly established a government-in-exile in the United States during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines and lifted up the morale of the Filipino People in the midst of war through his frequent radio broadcasts. Quezon died of tuberculosis in Saranac Lake, New York on August 1, 1944; Vice-President Sergio S. Osmeña succeeded him as the Third President of the Philippines (Second President of the Philippine Commonwealth.) Two years later, his dream was realized at last; the Republic of the Philippines was finally inaugurated as a sovereign, independent nation on the 4th of July, 1946, with Manuel L. Roxas as the newly-elected President of the Philippines.

In 04 July 1946, US President Harry Truman through US High Commissioner to the Philippines Paul V. McNutt finally recognized independence of Philippine state. It ended almost forty years (since 1901) of American rule in the Philippines. Consequently, this recognition means that the United States' representative government Commonwealth of the Philippines has ended, which started in November of 1935. Prior to this event, however, the Filipinos conducted the last election under the Commonwealth, which elected Manuel Roxas as the president. After declaration of independence, Roxas established the Third Republic of the Philippines making him the first president of the said republic.

The President of the Philippines is the head of state governing the country. According to the Philippine government, the office has been held by politicians who were inaugurated as President of the Philippines following the ratification of a constitution that explicitly declared the existence of the Philippines. For leaders of the Philippines prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, see Datu. For leaders prior to the ratification of the 1899 constitution, see Royal Governor of the Philippines. For leaders prior to the ratification of the 1935 constitution, see Governor-General of the Philippines. The King of Spain was the head of state during the Spanish era (1565--1898) and the President of the United States was the head of state during the American era (1898--1946). Note that the presidents under the Commonwealth of the Philippines were under United States sovereignty, and that the president of the Second Republic is considered to have been running a puppet government of the Japanese during World War II although this puppet government of Jose P. Laurel during the Japanese occupation was officially considered independent by the Japanese. Thus the Philippines had three Presidents during that war - one de facto and two de jure, and two at the same time. Emilio Aguinaldo was president of the short-lived Malolos Republic between 1899 and 1901. Although the republic never received foreign recognition, Filipinos consider Aguinaldo to be their first president.

Thursday, 5/1 Mexico was no stranger to this world conflict; the axis powers sank several of our oil tankers such as Faja de Oro, Potrero de Llano, Tuxpan, Las Choapas, Oaxaca and Amatlán. Mexico's message, then and now, was that if we are attacked we will respond and defend ourselves. Thus, on May 1, 1945, our glorious 201st Squadron of the Mexican Air Force, better known as the Aztec Eagles, disembarked in Manila, in the Philippines, to fight with the Allied Forces on the Pacific Front. Members of the 201st Squadron served bravely in the liberation of the Philippine island of Luzón. This heroic Squadron engaged in 59 war missions, registering nearly two thousand flight hours in combat zones. Its last mission, undertaken on August 26, 1945, at the end of the Second World War as a result of the unconditional surrender of the Axis Powers, reflected the responsibility and participation of Mexico in these events. Today we honor the heroes that belonged to it and the memory of those that lost their lives on this delicate mission. Captain Pablo Luis Rivas Martínez, Lieutenant José Espinosa Fuentes, Lieutenant Héctor Espinosa Galván, Second Lieutenant Fausto Vega Santander and Second Lieutenant Mario López Portillo. As President of the Republic, it is an honor for me to lead the Commemorative Ceremony of the 201st Squadron of the Mexican Air Force for the first time ever. Congratulations, long live the 201st Squadron and long live Mexico.

Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com The origin of the Second Sino-Japanese War can be traced to the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894--95, in which China, then under the Qing Dynasty, was defeated by Japan and was forced to cede Taiwan to her, and to recognize the independence of Korea in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The Qing Dynasty was on the brink of collapse from internal revolts and foreign imperialism, while Japan had emerged as a great power through its effective measures of modernization. The Republic of China was founded in 1912, following the Xinhai Revolution which overthrew the Qing Dynasty. However, the nascent Republic was even weaker than its predecessor due to the predominance of Chinese warlords. Unifying the nation and repelling imperialism seemed a very remote possibility. Some warlords even aligned themselves with various foreign powers in an effort to wipe each other out. For example, the warlord Zhang Zuolin of Manchuria openly cooperated with the Japanese for military and economic assistance. In 1915, Japan issued the Twenty-One Demands to extort further political and commercial privilege from China. Following World War I, Japan acquired the German Empire's sphere of influence in Shandong (Shantung), leading to nationwide anti-Japanese protests and mass demonstrations in China, but China under the Beiyang government remained fragmented and unable to resist foreign incursions. To unite China and eradicate regional warlords, the Kuomintang <b>...</b>

The Second Philippine Republic, officially known as the Republic of the Philippines (), was a state in the Philippines established on October 14, 1943 under Japanese occupation.
President Manuel L. Quezon declared Manila, the capital, an "open city" and left it under the rule of Jorge B. Vargas, as mayor. The Japanese entered the city on January 2, 1942 and established it as the capital. Japan fully captured the Philippines on May 6, 1942, after the Battle of Corregidor.
General Masaharu Homma dissolved the Commonwealth of the Philippines and established the Philippine Executive Commission, a caretaker government, with Vargas as its first chairman. All political parties were banned and replaced by the non-partisan KALIBAPI – Kapisanan sa Paglilingkod sa Bagong Pilipinas (Tagalog for the "Organization in the Service of the New Philippines"). KALIBAPI's director-general was Benigno S. Aquino.
A constitution was formed by the Preparatory Commission for Independence, consisting of 20 members from the KALIBAPI. The Preparatory Commission, led by José P. Laurel, presented its draft Constitution on September 4, 1943 and three days later, the KALIBAPI general assembly ratified the draft Constitution. Following the return of American led Allied forces, the government of the Second Republic evacuated Manila to Baguio. It was formally dissolved by President Laurel in Tokyo on August 17th, 1945.
