Women and Peace
This article was written one year after the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Felicia L. Gamboa writes about how the Japanese Army has dealt with the Filipino soldiers and their families. She describes a rather positive experience: Japan had the intention to free the Filipinos, the Filipino soldiers that arrived at the concentration camp were treated fairly and with respect and after some time the prisoners were released.
Although she mentions economic difficulties as a problem that emerged after the occupation, she considers the “marauders” the real problem. These are Filipino men who roam the countryside unsatisfied with the rule of the Japanese and with a patriotic motive. As the title of the article indicates, the journalist considers the women to be the key to end the attacks from these men. She instigates women to call their men back home, to peace, in order to “arrive at the enjoyment of a prosperous and independent Philippines.”
