Hindi na napigilan ni Sanya Lopez ang maging emosyunal sa Pandesal Forum kunsaan nagpasalamat sa kanila ang mga organisasyon na tumutulong sa Filipina World War 2 comfort women--ang Gabriela, Lila Pilipinas, at Malaya Lolas.
Sa pagharap nina Sanya at ng "Pulang Araw" co-star niyang si Ashley Ortega, napaluha ang gumaganap na Teresita Borromeo sa nabanggit na Kapuso series nang alalahanin ang naging pakikipagkuwentuhan niya sa mga aktuwal na Filipina comfort women.
Ang terminong comfort women ay ang tawag ng mga sundalong Hapon sa mga kababaihang binihag at pinagsamantalahan nila noong Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig.
Sa bawat bansang sinakop noon ng Imperial Japan ay may comfort women na igina-garrison at nakatikim ng pagmamalupit ng mga sundalong Hapones.
Kabilang sa mga nasakop noon ng Japanese Imperial Army ay ang Pilipinas, China, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, East Timor, at New Guinea.
Aktibong nagdedemanda naman ngayon ng hustisya at kumpensasyon mula sa kasalukuyang bansang Hapon ay ang mga nabubuhay pang comfort women sa Pilipinas at South Korea.

PeopleTranscript
00:00I'm so exhausted. My heart hurts so much.
00:11I went to the Prescon of the Pandisal Forum in Flores
00:18for the flowers for the grandmothers.
00:24There's a group like that.
00:25Okay.
00:26Then there's Ms. Teresita Angsi.
00:30Then there's Attorney Virginia Suarez.
00:34She's Laude's lawyer.
00:38Yes.
00:39Right?
00:40No.
00:41It's Laude. Sorry, sorry.
00:42Jennifer.
00:43Jennifer Laude.
00:48It's Jennifer Laude, right?
00:49Yes.
00:50It's Jennifer Laude, right?
00:51Yes.
00:52The one who killed her mother.
00:53The one who killed her mother.
00:54The one who killed her mother.
00:55She's the lawyer. She won that case.
00:58Okay.
00:59She's the lawyer.
01:00Then there's someone else.
01:01She won, but she escaped.
01:02Yes.
01:03She escaped from the former administration.
01:05Yes.
01:06Congressman Arlene Brosa.
01:08Ah, yes.
01:09Yes, yes.
01:10She's from Bacabayan Block.
01:11Yes.
01:12Then there's Ms. Sania Lopez.
01:16She's Ms. Teresita Bromeo.
01:18Then there's Sister Manuela.
01:22Sister Manuela, played by Ashley Ortega.
01:25Manuela.
01:26They're comfort women.
01:29What's right in Ms. Sania Lopez's heart in terms of comfort women?
01:34There was a discussion about comfort women.
01:36There were more or less 200 comfort women during the war.
01:42How many are still alive today?
01:43Twenty-five.
01:44Ah, yes.
01:45Twenty-five are still alive.
01:46And what Atty. Suarez said is that in the Philippines,
01:51the majority of people who are still alive are comfort women.
01:56They checked in Korea, and only one person is still alive.
02:00There are other comfort women in other countries,
02:03in Korea, in China.
02:04There are people like that.
02:06So, they were really attacked by the Japanese, by the Japanese soldiers.
02:11Here in our country, there are really a lot of them.
02:15And some of them are still nine to fourteen years old.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:20They were already raped by the Japanese.
02:24So, Sania felt really poor as a comfort woman.
02:28Because she only talked to two comfort women.
02:31She only talked to two comfort women.
02:33And really, they were all crying when they told the story.
02:38I'm really sorry, because when I talked to them,
02:43I was really heartbroken.
02:47It really hurts my heart to hear their story.
02:53Because what happened to them is true.
02:57And it's not a joke.
03:00One day, one of my neighbors told me a story.
03:04It was a story told by my grandmother.
03:08My grandmother, Narcisa.
03:10She told me,
03:12when you see girls today,
03:16they are happy.
03:19Maybe I'm the only one who is happy.
03:26So, that's when I realized,
03:29we are really lucky to have our generation today.
03:32We don't experience what they experienced during the Japanese occupation.
03:39We are really lucky.
03:43That's why, I said,
03:46when I made this talisinta,
03:49here in the front,
03:51I was more appreciated.
03:53I was inspired by what happened during the Japanese occupation.
03:59So, I can do better.
04:01And I can give credibility to what happened here as a talisinta.
04:07I want to make it light,
04:09because I don't want to cry again.
04:11But maybe, I just want to share the brighter side of what's happening now.
04:17Of course, as a comfort woman,
04:21it's really hard.
04:23And when I found out,
04:25that's the role that I will do.
04:27At first, I was really nervous.
04:29Because,
04:31I will be honest,
04:33I wasn't aware of what was happening to the comfort women.
04:37But then, I'm really grateful that
04:39I did some research about it.
04:41I met the grandmothers.
04:43And I was heartbroken.
04:45It's true what you said,
04:47we all cry now.
04:49We, the press,
04:51the other creatives,
04:53we all cry,
04:55not just us, the artists.
04:57So, now that,
04:59the story of the comfort women is being shown,
05:01I can see the comments,
05:05the feedbacks,
05:07the reviews of our netizens.
05:09And they're aware of what's going on now.
05:11They just found out,
05:13that this happened during World War II.
05:17And that's what we want to reach.
05:19Because, as a person,
05:21I'm not completely aware
05:23of what they went through.
05:25So, now, I'm happy
05:27that the students,
05:29will know what's happening.
05:31And I think it's about time
05:33that we tell the story
05:35of the comfort women,
05:37so that it won't happen again.
05:39And to give justice
05:41to our comfort women,
05:43just like the ones
05:45who fought,
05:47the beautiful women here,
05:49and the others who are receiving justice.
05:51That's probably the most painful
05:53that they can feel.
05:55Because, as comfort women,
05:57you know, we also experienced
05:59what happened to them.
06:01The scenes that are really hard.
06:03I'm thinking,
06:05there's an after scene,
06:07that this really happened.
06:09So, World War,
06:11and the real ones,
06:13it really hurts my heart.
06:15So, now, I'm really happy that
06:17the Red Sun is becoming a voice.
06:19Our youth is becoming aware
06:21of what's happening.
06:23Not only about the comfort women story,
06:25but also about what happened during the war.
06:27A lot of Filipinos sacrificed
06:29for the freedom that we enjoy now.
06:31So,
06:33thank you very much again.
06:35And this is one of the reasons
06:37why I became part of this campaign,
06:39and became part of
06:41the Historical Cities of Chile.
06:45This is a lesson for our youth.
06:47This is a reminder
06:49of the dark history
06:51of our children.
06:53But, if this is the case,
06:55it also means
06:57that this lesson
06:59also reminds our youth
07:01that they can't go back.
07:03That's the problem.
07:05If we forget our history,
07:07it's more likely to happen again.
07:09Especially now,
07:11when the war is happening
07:13in different parts of the world.
07:15Even in other parts of the world,
07:17as Filipinos,
07:19we don't want
07:21a second generation of comfort women.
07:23What this group
07:25called Flowers for...
07:27and Malaya Lola,
07:29Flowers for the Lolas,
07:31something like that,
07:35recognize
07:37and push
07:39by the government
07:41the curriculum
07:43that only the youth
07:45can understand.
07:47Because, as he said,
07:49this is a part of our history
07:51that was not discussed
07:53in our history.
07:55So, I hope that the youth
07:57will know what they asked for
07:59in Japan,
08:01an apology.
08:03The apology, I guess,
08:05because there's a monetary compensation.
08:07But what he's talking about
08:09is how much is it?
08:11Because you can't
08:13count money.
08:15How much is it?
08:17Because
08:19there's a lot of Japan-Yuki,
08:21there's a lot of Japan-Japan.
08:23No, that's beside the point.
08:25There's none now.
08:27That's why they can't relate.
08:29They can't relate because they don't know.
08:31They don't know
08:33because the government
08:35didn't teach this in our school.
08:37What happened to the Statue of Comfort Women?
08:39This one.
08:41They put it there.
08:43In Manila?
08:45They put it in Rojas Boulevard.
08:47It was stolen.
08:49Because the relationship
08:51between Japan and the Philippines
08:53is friendship.
08:55And then,
08:57it was transferred to Baclaran.
08:59It was also stolen.
09:01So,
09:03I remember
09:05Marilu Diaz Abaya did the Comfort Women.
09:07I hope they don't do it again.
09:09Lola Rosa.
09:11I hope there's something like that.
09:13Celso Alcastillo did it.
09:15Charmaine Arnaiz did Comfort Women.
09:17Rosanna Rosas.
09:19It was her first movie.
09:21But when it came to that,
09:23they made a sexy movie.
09:25It's like a lure.
09:29Dennis Trillio did it.
09:31It's not like Comfort Gay.
09:33That's what they're saying.
09:35Because it's a bad thing.
09:37But they're thankful
09:39to JMA 7 for releasing it
09:41because when they watched it,
09:43there were people complaining
09:45about the rape scenes.
09:47But according to the elders,
09:49it's even worse.
09:51It's even more tame
09:53which is true.
09:55What Atty. Suarez said,
09:57he talked to the Senate
09:59and nothing happened.
10:01It reached the UN.
10:03They won.
10:05They fought against Japan.
10:07They won the UN.
10:09But why wasn't it recognized
10:11by our government?
10:13Because they value
10:15the relationship.
10:17Diplomatic relationship.
10:19Economic relationship.
10:21That's what I felt.
10:23The feelings of those
10:25who fought for it.
10:27Just like the rest of the Comfort women.
10:29The grandmothers.
10:31The youngest Comfort woman
10:33is still alive.
10:35She's 93 years old.
10:37The youngest.
10:39She's still alive.
10:41She's 25 years old.
10:43Just like this.
10:45When someone is sick,
10:47they pass the hat to those groups.
10:49But the government didn't do anything.
10:51They didn't.
10:53They said one of the Comfort women
10:55was sick.
10:57A grandmother.
10:59Bring her to a clinic
11:01near Malacanang.
11:03What's that?
11:05Because we don't value
11:07our veteran soldiers.
11:09That's true.
11:11How about those
11:13who became victims of the war?
11:15You didn't give them...
11:17They say
11:19the value of a country
11:21depends on how they take care
11:23of the older people.
11:25Exactly.
11:27There are two more who were left behind.
11:29The Red House.
11:31There are four of them.
11:33I googled one of them.
11:35It's in San Ildefonso, Bulacan.
11:37That's where the Red House was raped.
11:39One of them
11:41is still fighting
11:43because he wants to sell.
11:45This group
11:47wants to preserve
11:49so that...
11:51In Vietnam,
11:53we can see in a museum
11:55the experiences of...
11:57The prisoners of war.
11:59They have subsidies.
12:01Yes.
12:03They show
12:05what happened
12:07underground.
12:09That's the only thing.
12:11They want to preserve
12:13the national historical...
12:15Is it true?
12:17But there's no representation.
12:19There are party lists
12:21from different sectors.
12:23They're just trying to be part of it.
12:25But there's a lot of comfort.
12:27There are a lot of elderly.
12:29Even one of them
12:31was left behind.
12:33He was the only one
12:35who didn't know anything.
12:37Then,
12:39Mr. Rizita Angse said,
12:41You were placed under
12:43the Kamikaze monument.
12:45He said,
12:47I googled Kamikaze.
12:49It means a band is playing
12:51in Kamikaze.
12:53The youth didn't know.
12:55Even martial law
12:57in the 1970s
12:59is gone.
13:01But martial law is still a museum.
13:03It should be included in history.
13:05Comfort women.
13:07The youth didn't forget
13:09the 1980s.
13:11That's true.
13:17That's why we keep repeating
13:19the same mistakes.
13:21We're not anchored in history.
13:23We should be learning from history.
13:25But it's still wrong.
13:27That's why they say,
13:29history repeats itself.
13:31History repeats itself
13:33because it denies history.
13:35That's right.
13:37We're not saying
13:39you should be angry
13:41at the Japanese.
13:43We're not saying
13:45you should be jealous of Japan.
13:47You like Japan.
13:49We like Japan.
13:51When did you go to Japan?
13:53This year.
13:55Why are you so jealous?
14:01We like Japan.
14:03The food is delicious.
14:05They're disciplined.
14:07They're kind.
14:09Sanya told me
14:11about their coach
14:13in Japanese speaking.
14:17One of the artists
14:19was Ryo.
14:21He's cute.
14:23When he was reading the script,
14:25while the taping was ongoing,
14:27he was surprised.
14:29He said,
14:31he didn't know the Japanese were like this.
14:33He's energetic.
14:35He's proud of his ancestors
14:37who were like this.
