I am so amazed to see this, and thrilled! My father-in-law was USMC and captured by the Japanese in the Phillipines during WWII. He was sent to the Davao Penal Colony, where he eventually escaped with several others and 2 filipinos. It was the only successful escape in that theater of war. He would be so excited to see this. He passed away in 2013 at the age of 96. Hurray for Davao!!
