A 19 year old writer, Mani, describes wartime life in Santo Tomas and a forced transfer to a new camp near Los Baños. He recalls guards checking papers, the “face” rule, and the attempt to reorder life as 50 internees and 200 allied nationals moved from Manila.
A camp diary recalls malaria danger, a petition against women and children, and tension with a Japanese guard in Log Banos. Prominent Manila merchants wear dungarees and sandals as Porky the plump guard provokes humor. General Kuroda tours in a Packard, prisoners scatter, and nightly broadcasts spark misreadings. Repatriation lists emerge as 27 men are slated to leave, with farewell messages and a final chorus of California, Here I Come.
