Book Description
Rafael "Liling" Roces was beheaded by the Japanese militia in August of 1944. As the mastermind of the Resistance Movement known as Free Philippines, Roces paid the supreme patriotic sacrifice, for which he was posthumously awarded the US Medal of Freedom. Now, he is a vanished name. Inevitably, the natures of memory and heroism become the leitmotif of this extensively researched biography. Here is the saga of a Filipino family; from the first Roces to set foot in the Philippines--as alferez in the Governor General's elit guards, the "Alabarderos del Virrey,"--and on through four generation down to Liling's eight younger brothers. This moving, intimate tale, painted with the broad brush of history, it told by youngest brother Alfredo, a writer-painter now based in Sydney, Australia. A product of years of research, it is a refreshingly original attempt at a century of Philippine history through the heartbeat of one family. --

Author: Nick Deocampo
Publisher: Anvil Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 6214200839
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 696
Book Description
Nick Deocampo’s continuing film saga investigates on its third volume how World War II affected the growth of cinema in the Philippines (1942-1945). Revealed in the book is a vast wealth of information about Japanese wartime manipulation of motion pictures that would only lead to the inglorious end of the colonial film cycle at war’s conclusion. This valuable construction of the country’s wartime film history uncovers significant intellectual efforts made by Japanese film critics and film artists who formed the Propaganda Corps assigned to the country. They conceived for Filipinos a “national” identity for their cinema, even while this was wrapped in a fascist, colonial, and militaristic context. Seventy years after the end of World War II, Deocampo triumphs over trauma and forgetfulness as he revisits the wartime period and its cinema. He provides a landmark contribution to historical memory as he uncovers one of the bleakest moments in Philippine film history.
