Summary: I wanted to write - the way I see it, as a civilian - about how unnecessarily and recklessly the Japanese Army had invaded the Philippines, making the people suffer so.

And all the time that I was writing, there was in my mind a very strong prayer that the Japanese race never repeat this crime.
