00:00But this is one of the young men who was saved by his experience of attacking Japan in the Philippines during World War II.
00:06He will also tell you how they were saved in the middle of the war.
00:09J.P. Soriano has the first news.
00:16In the hit GMA series, Pulang Araw,
00:19you can watch the memorable story about the Japanese occupation during World War II.
00:26The story revolves around the lives of Adelina, Teresita, Hiroshi, and Eduardo,
00:32and how they fought and survived.
00:46Here in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
00:49GMA Integrated News introduced one of the young men who was saved when the Japanese attacked the Philippines.
00:59He is the 85-year-old American Dean Hawk,
01:03founder and owner of the Michigan News Agency,
01:06an iconic landmark and bookstore in Michigan State.
01:10Dean was born in the Philippines in 1939 in Baguio.
01:40By the next month, the Philippines were invaded, of course.
01:44That is Bataan and Corregidor.
01:46Dean was brought by his mother and brother to the University of Santo Tomas in Manila
01:52which served as the largest camp or internment camp for the Americans and the Filipino people of Japan at that time.
02:00Dean returned to his father early when his father was killed and became a member of the guerrilla warfare.
02:07The ship was bombed. Actually, the ships weren't marked, so it was bombed by the Americans.
02:12And he is buried in the Pacific Ocean.
02:16Within more than three years of his childhood, Dean learned to establish himself in the field.
02:23This is where he met the other Filipino youth who accompanied him in studying to read with the help of his mother.
02:32Dean also learned to work with other Filipino youth.
02:37When the US General Douglas MacArthur's force returned to the Philippines,
02:42Dean was looking for hope that they would be saved from the field in the UST.
02:48But it was sounded by the Japanese forces and they were lined up to be shot.
02:54But before the Japanese forces could start their plan to wipe out the people in the field,
03:00the American soldiers arrived with the help of the Filipino guerrillas.
03:06The reason that I am alive is because the Filipinos helped the Americans liberate us
03:13and they got to us an hour before we were actually going to be shot down by the Japanese.
03:18We were lined up for that.
03:19And the American tanks got there earlier than thought because the Filipinos helped them.
03:27And that is why I'm still alive.
03:31And from escaping to the Philippines and coming here to America, Dean did not return to the Philippines
03:36because he said it was too painful for him.
03:38But according to Dean, the love of the Filipinos will continue to live on in his heart.
03:44From here in Kalamazoo, Michigan in America.
