"Guerrillero" - March of Filipino Guerrillas during World War II (1942-1945)

Описание: English:

During the Japanese occupation of the islands in World War II, there was an extensive Philippine resistance movement which opposed the Japanese and their collaborators through active underground and guerrilla activity that increased over the years. Fighting the guerrillas – apart from the Japanese regular forces – were a Japanese-formed Bureau of Constabulary (later taking the name of the old Philippine Constabulary during the Second Republic), the Kenpeitai (the Japanese military police), and the Makapili (Filipinos fighting for the Japanese). Postwar studies estimate that around 260,000 persons were organized under guerrilla groups and that members of anti-Japanese underground organizations were more numerous. Such was their effectiveness that by the end of World War II, Japan controlled only twelve of the forty-eight provinces.

The "Guerrillero" is one of the marches used by these guerrilla groups.
