On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Imperial Japanese forces, tragically the same day, they landed on Bataan. From that day, December 8, Philippine time, the Japanese Philippine invasion begins. This was a call of duty for Teodorico Victorio David, one of the Filipinos who joined USAFFE(United States Army Forces in the Far East). He was a holder of the Browning Machine Gun, and fought in the Japanese colonization era in the Philippines from the outbreak of war in December 1941, until the surrender of General Yamashita in September 1945. He was one of the courageous Filipino Soldiers who sacrificed his life for the liberation of the Philippines from the Empire of Japan. This is the true-to-life story of my grandfather, Corporal Teodorico Victorio David, and the Japanese Philippine Invasion.

March, 1942. The Japanese have conquered most if not all of Southeast Asia - save for one island, Java, in the Dutch East Indies. As the Allies scramble all resources to hold this vital and final stronghold, Lieutenant Francis Drebbel, a mixed-race (Indo) aviator of the East Indies Air Force, and his fellow pilots must hold the line at all costs, flying the notoriously unreliable Brewster Buffalo fighter plane. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Jack De Souza, a staff officer with 2nd Bn. 131st Field Artillery, 36th Infantry Division, a Texas Army National Guard unit deployed to the island, realizes the hopelessness of the situation.
