Sapol Radio Augusto de Viana
In this radio interview, Dr. Augusto de Viana, author and historian, discusses collaborators during the war: economic, political, cultural, military, 75 years after the end of WWII.
During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, there were different types of collaborators. Military collaborators enforced Jap rule and identified guerillas. They wore bayong over their heads with holes for the eyes to hide their identities The Makapili or Malayang Kalipunan ng mga Pilipino, were proud of their Japanese association. Economic collaborators were the ones who supplied war materials and arms, and also supplied comfort women for the Japanese. Cultural collaborators included radio announcers as well as those who worked for Japanese controlled newspapers, such as the Tribune.
Dr. de Viana has written at least six books on Philippine history, World War II and the history of the Marianas. He has authored a textbook for the Rizal Course and another textbook on Philippine History.
