Sir or Madam:

I am currently working on a documentary and I need interviews with historians that are well versed in Philippine history and also Philippine/US relations. The synopsis of the documentary follows:


"At dawn, on December 16th, 1944, Lt. Charles "Chuck" Hartman ran out of fuel on a return from a bombing run in the Philippines. Chuck was able to control the crash into the ocean, hitting approximately 100 yards off the shore of the island of Bohol. Floating in his raft, the young pilot spotted several dark figures with machine guns gathering on the beach. His .45 in hand, Chuck planned to make a suicidal attempt to fight what he perceived to be Japanese soldiers. The figures then called out to him in English, revealing themselves as Filipino guerrillas.

Lt. Hartman would spend three weeks stranded on the island of Bohol, hidden in the town of Valencia. For a people that thought they had been forgotten by the Allies, this young man became a symbol of hope.

60 years later Lt. Chuck Hartman returns to the island and the people that protected him. We will follow Chuck as he rediscovers his past and we will also uncover the long, complex history between the USA and the Philippine people. In a different time and a different war Lt. Hartman finds himself once again becoming an unlikely ambassador."

I just saw this now; I already like it.

This story makes me want to cry because he was in MY town! Valencia!

My late Lola Nating was part of the Guerilla Resistance, and who knows, maybe this guy knew her when she was still young.

Oh I wish I could meet this guy...

lorenzo...was wondering if the stuff i posted here got lost in the transition. glad to see it made it thru. even more happy that it made a personal connection for you!

tried to get some of the old timers on the recently revived bohol.org mailing list, since the demise of the bohol.net mailing list, over here, or even Facebook where a lot of us boomers are. Seems the gen gap is too wide for most of them beside the tech gap even tho Facebook is a lot more user friendly than Friendster or Myspace for us old timers.

my interests are a lot more varied than what tubag has to offer, tho tubag is great for Boholanon stuff. But Facebook even has a group just for Boholanos and has the apps to show your flair for Bohol, as well as for me really being a NYer...joey
