TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY

The Japanese Commander in Chief, General Masaharu Homma, proclaims the end to US occupation of the Philippines. He declares that the Japanese Imperial forces came to the Philippines to emancipate the Filipinos from the oppressive domination of the US and to promote the well-being of the people under their military administration. He also imposes martial law.

General Homma was in charge of the troops who were responsible in carrying out Bataan Death March in the Philippines during 1942. As a consequence, Homma was executed by firing squad after being convicted by the U.S. military tribunal for war crimes in the Philippines
