[Title] => Finally, honors for Col. James Cushing!
[Summary] => Today, I have been invited to join a meeting with the Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission (CHAC) chaired by Vice-Mayor Michael L. Rama for a project entitled, "Col. James Cushing Memorial Marker Site" an issue that we've been writing for many years, pointing out that we Cebuanos owe a great debt of gratitude to this American who ruled in the mountains of Cebu Province, while the Japanese Imperial Forces occupied our country from 1942 to 1944.

[Title] => Is anyone paying revolutionary taxes?
[Summary] => We got a lot of comments on the article we wrote last Wednesday on the remarkable story of how the Z-Plan, (a.k.a. The Koga Papers), the defense plan of the Japanese Imperial Navy for the Pacific, which by force of luck and a typhoon ended in the hands of Cebu guerrillas under the command of Lt. Col. James M. Cushing, an American mining engineer who lead the Cebu guerrilla movement during World War II. As we’ve said, the article was published in the quarterly magazine Prologue of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

[Title] => US Archives prints story about Cebu incident!
[Summary] => Last June, I was surprised to get an e-mail from Benjamin Guterman, editor/writer of the Product Development Branch of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in the United States, based in Washington D.C. Guterman probably read some of my articles about Lt. Col. James Cushing, the American war hero based in Cebu whose daring exploits have sparked a renewed interest in many people in the United States.

[Title] => War story about Cebu now in US archives!
[Summary] => For many years now, we've been writing about the exploits of that American Mining Engineer who lead the Cebu guerrilla movement during World War II. Yes, I'm sure that by now you know that I'm talking about the late Lt. Col. James Cushing who died a poor man onboard a steamer to Palawan. He asked to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani instead of the American Cemetery as he wanted to be with Filipino heroes.

[Title] => Heroes are not important to this country!
[Summary] => I'm sure you and I were among the hundreds of thousands of people especially students and worried parents who were confused whether yesterday was a holiday or not. Well, it turned out that yesterday was a holiday because Aug.29th was apparently declared as "National Heroes Day". Come now, the last time I remember that this country celebrated National Heroes Day was sometime in mid April when it was dubbed "Araw ng Kagitingan". I think that was the Fall of Bataan. But before that, National Heroes Day fell together with Andres Bonifacio's Day on Nov.30th.

[Title] => In search of the grave of Col. Jim Cushing!
[Summary] => When our soldiers are lain to their final rest, is it really final? Here’s a very interesting story written by my good American friend Lou Jurika (he was born in Manila), son of the late American guerrilla Thomas Jurika. Lou, who came to Cebu last week for a visit, and I share the same passion — stories of what happened in this country during World War II and more importantly, that we would tell these stories to the next generation so no one can say that we are an ungrateful nation and have forgotten our heroes.
