In the land of South Korea, the blood, sweat, and tears of the brave soldiers of the Philippines fell for their freedom. May the people of South Korea never forget this sacrifice.
South Korea were so lucky to have 1000 brave Filipino soldiers who fought for their freedom against North Korea and China. Whatever success you have right now please never forget that Filipinos had a big contribution in Korea's History. We are hoping that if one day when Philippines will be needing your help you will do the same.
They made movies about Americans and turkish people in korean war but fee only knows that Filipino soldiers are actually the ones who stood their ground at its worst to defend South Korea. They were made the Frontliners but never acknowledged properly.
Very true. Without the Filipinos' incredible accomplishment during the battle of Yultong, not only holding back 40,000 enemy soldiers with only 900 of their own, but actually managing to push them back, giving the reinforcements time to arrive and position themselves, the Korean War might very well have ended with a Communist victory.
I cried watching this😢. I’m sad that we filipinos didn’t get the honor and respect from Skoreans despite the sacrifice of our PETFOK heroes who fought for their freedom. I think it should written in their history in honor of the huge part of their freedom against Nkoreans. If it wasn’t for the bravery and heroic acts of our soldiers Skoreans will never get the freedom and democracy they are enjoying today. But I still love my Kpop and Kdramas ❤😂. It’s not their fault though because it was/is never been written in their history book nor taught in history classes. So sad! My big SALUTE to those filipino soldiers who fought for the Korean war! Mabuhay PILIPINAS!
too bad some people see this line between the religions.... like when people say something about islam and that religion... but in fact it's the same god! funny how they would hate those people that believe in the same god.
@@alexpamugas9917 i know you mean well, but be it God from Abraham, Allah for Islam, Buddha for Koreans or Chinese, the gods from the Hindus, or any other gods; what matters is when one believes in them or not as long as they have something to fight for, be it the safety of themselves, patriotism, or noble causes. I understand you, but others might interpret your comment as too idealistic and singular.
After the battle, where 1400 Filipinos defended their position against at least 40000 red army soldier, the famous 5-Star-General Douglas MacArthur said “Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers - and I will conquer the world.” - he already experienced them in World War 2, where there were similar stories and experienced it there again. He considered the soldiers of the Philippines as the bravest and fiercest soldiers of all.
I hope many young Koreans will dig into our Philippines history and understand how we Filipinos have a very generous, loving and courageous hearts. We are not a perfect country, we are considered a third world but we are so proud of our heritage. I live in America for many years.. America is my country now but Philippines is my heritage and I am very proud of the Philippines and proud to be Filipino
Filipino blood flows in my veins no matter how long I had lived here in Canada. Can't imagine it will soon be 48 years, although I have visited back to my hometown multiple times/ almost every year since except during the pandemic...I am Canadian and still living loving Filipino.
I'm proud that my grandfather was part of this. He was a major at the time, and eventually became a brigadier general. Eventually becoming the postmaster general of the Philippines. Whenever we would meet with Fidel Ramos, the former president would always salute my grandfather. Grandpa would say you outrank me now, and Ramos would say our ranks in battle would always be our ranks for life.
Dear Koreans, We Filipino dont ask anything from you, all we ask is that never forget the shared history that our both countries fight and died for, just past the history to your next generation, filipino dying in our own soil is heroic already but dying on a foreign soil must be written down in history. 🇰🇷❤🇵🇭
That is how we defended Korea. We will always defend your country when you need us. We hope Koreans realize that we Filipinos risk our lives for your freedom.
Nope not anymore some of them are ungratefull not worthy to defend and besides they more powerful today..some koreans think we are poor country..we are not powerful as before..maybe sending help again like israel will be a good idea coz the know what is utang na loob means..😏😏
Filipino soldiers may not be great in numbers but they have the greatest weapon with them; their faith in God. They fight with guns loaded in bullet and prayers. I just love how they acknowledges God in every battle. One thing I'm also proud of as Filipino; when it seems impossible, we still have hope because we know we have God.
My great great grandfather (Dionisio S. Ojeda) is one Of the LTC in that war who sacrifice his life .. thanks for sharing this video to all of your viewers..it's like honoring the sacrifice he do not just a soldier but a people who value freedom not just for his country PHILIPPINES but for others too😊
Koreans forgot how the Philippines bled for their freedom, look how they belittle the Filipinos, look how they look down on us. This breaks my heart, that gratitude and honor isn't common to everyone.
Yeah I agreed, will because they didn't teach there curriculum in there school and beside there focus the economy to grow that lots of things didn't pay homage and forgotten the depth to other countries that's helps build there country back in those years how sad it is.
Philippines doesn't need material in return but acknowledgement and recognized the effort of Filipino race to fight hand in hand in every country just for freedom
I really cried many times while watching this video because my late Grandfather, Cpl Rodrigo M Cabogoy, was part of the PEFTOK. I remembered him telling me he got his 2 bullet/shrapnel inflicted wounds on his right leg and shoulder, showing these battle-scars to me while talking about how they saw hundreds of Chinese coming right in front of them, He even told me if only the bullets in their ammunition boxes could inflict more when thrown in mass, they would throw it right at them for their Guns kept jamming due to overheating.... they mostly resorted to bayonets and Bolos whenever they got overrun. I was just 12 years old back then.
@@Normal-Person Back in WW2, they used to wear necklaces with japanese ears and chew them for snacks after dipping on a vinegar inside their bamboo canteens before or during a fight, just to quinch their hunger. Japs did the same by boiling the dead in a large pan for stew. that's what he said before he died more than a decade ago.
Manually fighting because they didn't have a choice na kasi overheated na yun mga guns nila. So bayonet na lang puede gamitin nila. Grabe ano tapus puro pangmamaliit ang nararanasan ng mga Pinoy sa Korea. Minsan tuloy maiisip mo ano kaya kung hindi pinadala ng Pangulo ng Elpidio Quirino ang mga kasundaluhan Filipino sa Bansa nila yun Time na yun. Siguro kaya naman nila ipanalo Di ba. Ang ayaw ko lang talaga sa Alliance natin sa America yun madalas nila ipangsabak ang mga sundalo Pilipino sa mabibigat na laban kasi alam nila mababait at Maawain. At determinado at malalakas at Matatalino pagdating sa Battlefield.
Philippines may be a small country. During Korean war, Philippines send army to help. During Vietnam war same thing happened and accepted the people fleeing from their country. Hitler killed alot of Jewish people and Philippines issued thousands pf passport for Jewish people to come here in the Philippines foe refuge. Proud to be a filipino. Always have an open hand to help other countries. ❤🎉🎉🎉
unfortunately, now we are look down upon by other countries or nationalities because we are not as rich as them. and totally forgot everything happened in the history :(
We are looked down because the "current generation" is nothing like the past generations. Too many average filipinos just following whatever is trending (clothes that hides nothing, dances that only whores used to dance, bayots, etc.)...no self-respect at all. Idolizing just anyone who comes into the big screen. Even our ancestors will be ashamed to see the current generation of filipinos now. *retch*
@@alayoun75 It's just a saying. Highlighting that Filipinos are brave and strong enough to even fight the world if given the chance. Stop focusing on MAC ARTHUR, start comprehending the whole thought of why was this quote used here. :))
@@alayoun75 MacArthur left the Philippines was because he was ordered to leave by the US President Franklin Roosevelt. Earlier MacArthur received a message from the head General in the US Army command in Washington DC to leave the Philippines, but he ignored it. He didn't want to leave the fight and his troops. Only the intervention from commander-in-chief, President Roosevelt, can over rule him. Defying a presidential order will lead to the charge of treason which is arrestible. MacArthur had no choice but to follow that order. The President wanted MacArthur, America's most experienced general, to command the entire US forces in the Pacific from Australia.
@@alayoun75 It certainly did not end in Death March. The Filipino soldiers became known as the best guerilla soldiers in the world. Once, I asked my wife's paternal lolo (grandpa) why some pans had pockmarks. He said, oh I wore that on patrols during WWII. For me, that was classic Filipino practical ingenuity. Thanks to those pans, he was able to have a family.
7:24 FSgt Young was awarded by the Philippine government with the Gold Cross Medal for this heroic feat. He got Awarded With Taegeuk Medal in SK. that is comparable to Medal of Valor. Highest Military Award. He Retired with a Rank of Major.
Not all veterans soldiers who mentioned getting those award some are forgotten who fought the deliberation of Korea back on those wars it's sad to say that the old tales are forgotten by the government of Korea no longer mention.
Ganyan pinag tangol ng mga sundalo namin ang bansa nyo. Sana balang araw pag kami naman ang malagay sa ganyang sitwasyon tulungan nyo rin kami ng walang pag aalin langan. Mabuhay ang pilipinas.
As you can see, Philippines suffered a lot of that era specially during WWII but still our President Elpidio Quirino, our armforces and all soldiers who faught during Korean War was trully a remarkable and must be remembered... we all know that there's only a little amount of soldiers sent by Philippines to Korea and they did their job to make us proud... even though they didn't know yet what they will encounter when they arrive to Korea still they did their job to be part of it. Philippines really love Korea and Koreans love our country but the memories of Korean War and all soldiers continuos fading. *** SALUTE TO ALL WHO FIGHT FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM DURING THAT TIME ***
Hindi naman lahat ng koreans ay mababa ang tingin sa atin, mas marami pa rin sa kanila ang mababait at marami sa kanila ang nakakapanoud ng ganitong video na nagpapaalala sa kanila na minsan ay natulungan sila ng mga filipinong sundalo, doktor at engineers
My Grandfather is one of those, 20th Bct Peftok , he died in 2012 his Heroic adventures in Korea is no longer Forgotten. Hope Manny Young Korean respect the people who fought in this war, and remembrance the Philippines and Korean together back in those days.
This should be taught in south Korea and the Philippines along with other countries for younger generations to learn of how much strength we could achieve if we worked together instead of creating more wars. Even though the Philippines dealt a horrendous amount of damage during WW2 we still helped other countries and knew we would win because the Philippines is Gods army made of humans🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 As a Filipino I feel so proud to have the blood of such a amazing country ❤.
My late grandfather is a PEFTOK veteran. He told us stories about the war and how hard it was for them enduring the cold that he isn't used to. He also told stories about his interactions with Koreans and how he carried a child himself helping a mother who is carrying loads and bundles.
I hope they will show this film to South Koreans young and old. The bravery of the allied forces; especially the FILIPINO troops who had a big role during the Korean war. Filipinos are always there to help and lend a helping hands to those who are needy, even though they are also struggling. God bless the Philippines.
This is a war where the heroism and dedication of those Filipino soldiers should be remembered. However,its one of the forgotten parts of the Korean War,the "Battle of Yultong",where Filipinos stood their ground but never told and acknowledged in most documentaries pertaining to the Korean War. Its always the Americans, who is depicted as the liberators.
안녕하세요. 저는 한국인입니다. 영어가 좋지않아 영상은 못 보고 댓글만 보고있는데 몇몇 댓글이 마음을 아프게 하네요.😢 한국에서는 필리핀 용사들의 희생을 잊었다 혹은 교과서에 안적혀있다라는 말은 사실이 아닙니다. 실제로 학교, 티비, 인터넷 등등 수많은 매체에서 다른 나라를 포함해 필리핀에 대해서도 모두 다루고 있습니다. 다만 한국을 위해 희생해주신 국가들이 워낙 많아서 UN국이라고 통합해서 부르는 경우가 있습니다. 당시 도와주신 모든 국가가 67개국이라고 알고 있지만 죄송하게도 모두를 기억하기는 쉽지 않습니다. 그렇지만 필리핀은 친하고 가깝기 때문에 많은 사람들이 알고 있습니다. 무슨 이유인지는 모르겠지만 이러한 오해들이 생겨난 것은 유감이네요😢 하루빨리 풀렸으면 좋겠습니다! 🇵🇭❤ 🇰🇷
We are not generalizing you guys we really love you Koreans we know that some of you knows about this history especially those elders experienced that war. Maybe its time to educate the korean people who does'nt know about this history especially the young ones so that they wont end up on bullying and humilliating filipino people. Hopefully this video will became an eye opener for those korean racist who are mocking and bullying filipino people. I hope that it comes to your mind that somewhere in the past there are Filipino ancestors risk their lives just to save your ancestors.
@@Depadoa The division of Korea was actually caused by the Cold War, a power struggle between the USSR and the US. The Korean War was only a proxy of the Cold War. Not defending Americans because they really had a big play in several wars throughout history. However, they were not just the only reason (or country) that caused the Division. In the final days of World War 2, US proposed the division and the four allied powers (China, US, UK and USSR) agreed to proceed with the trusteeship, until such time Korea can stand on their own. However, due to the power struggle, failure to negotiate and the UN failing to provide an acceptable outcome for the Soviet, the country was officially divided into two in 1948: South became a capitalist country in August followed by North as a communist country. The UN led first the election in the US occupied South, which then prompted the Soviet occupied North to follow (assume of position).
Two countries that forever both will be sharing their History and Culture....and to the current generation the connection is there, but must know the past of how it happened. God Bless....
Filipinos just gave their best in defence of a friend (S.Korean) As years passed-by both country become so close. S. Korean assisted Filipino in so many ways
Both countries are bonded in history. Thus, the Philippines and South Korea are allies in trade and geo-politics. Lots of Koreans have chosen to reside in the Philippines and make it their second home. At the community level, Korean content creators vlog beautifully about the Philippines and appreciative Pinoys are supportive, becoming their subscribers and followers. Both countries truly value each other.
Ang nag panalo sa kanila ay yung strategy. At napansin nila na hindi na train ng maayos ang mga sundalo ng chinese/N.K kaya yan ang nagjng advantage ng Filipino soldier's
Just think, if our Filipino soldiers did not keep fighting to hold their line & retreated like the Turkish & Puerto Ricans did, South Korea would probably be vastly different from what it is today. The men leading those troops knew what was needed to be done & made smart, effective decisive moves to lead their men with as little casualties as possible in spite of the cold weather & being so grossly outnumbered.
If the Filipinos didn't hold their lines, the South Koreans will be speaking with a North Korean accent now. Filipino-American watching in Virginia, USA
Salamat naman man korean na nakaappriciate ng kabutihan naming mga pinoy.thank you for your reaction,God bless all.I'm super proud that I am a Filipino😊❤
the koreans must learn this part of history because some of them are racist to the filipino..thank you for reminding your own generation that we 🇵🇭 is part of those depending your freedom.
My uncle one of war Korean veteran, and my grandpa one of veteran of WW II, during Japanese dead march in heaven 🪦, the war said my grandpa are very brave, the American and Filipino are surrendered many Filipino and American are died in death march they shoot if sick down, no food, bayonet to the head and body of Filipino and American no water. My grandpa in heaven 🪦 witness the horrible happened during that time, my grandpa captured in Bataan with American best friend John died in front of him. Because of her wound. Many Filipino and American died in Bataan. Japanese are very brave. Peace be with you 🙏. The war is over but the memories remain.
Sana matigil na ang mga ganito sa mundo, sana lahat madaan sa usapan at iwaksi na ang self distruction/annihilation at barbaric mindsets particular ng National Leaders.
It's weird that i just suddenly remembered march of the valiant and decided to check it out again, and here we are... like what our grandfathers did, Philippines will always be a brother to S.Korea. And it is our duty as their children to take care of the peace they have given, not only to the Koreans but to all of us. Do react to another video related to this - it has a more Macro view of how everything played out; pre and post war.
It's not written in your books but we were there to help you. A lot of Koreans didn't know about this because according to my student only Americans were mentioned so now at least 3 more Koreans knew about the complete/ whole story about the war. Thanks for this reaction!
Sad to say, even they build monument to commemorate our Filipino Soldiers they didnt bother to mention FILIPINO SOLDIERS maybe because for them they are not worth to be mention on their history. 💔
There is actually individual monument in the Korean War Memorial, each country that helped South Korea has its flag in the memorial and at each monument’s base is clearly inscribed how and when the country participated in the war, inside the hall - again each country are having dedicated commemorative walls with the countries’ flags and names of the fallen soldiers inscribed in it. I am a Filipino and i can say Korea has not forgotten the sacrifice of those who came during their time of need
Im chinese japanese. You rarely hear abouy filipinos helping other countries even though they did countless times through out history. They helped east timor economically when even the americans wanted to have a war against them. They helped japan right after the war against soviet russia. They had all the right to be angry at us. But no. They fought russia just so japan couldnt be annexed. And they adopt people who were hunted down by their own country men like the bajao tribes in malaysia and indonesia. As a response they given them filipino citizenship and an island to live at. And they adopted the japanese who seek asylum during the christian purge. I believe col.Azurin featured in the documentary are the descedant of those japanese people. I see the philippines as the reliable neighbour always willing to help with a smile even though they themselves were struggling.
The Filipinos' love for freedom is legendary. They seem happy-go-lucky because of their friendliness and smiling faces, but when freedom and democracy are threatened, they will fight to the death to defend them. Salute to the PEFTOK volunteer soldiers!
US wont allow it, because it will be clear now that Filipino soldiers almost did all the effort to win the war, did you hear the one veteran soldier said, one battalion of american soldiers will almost wipe out and they replace them and recapture that place wow
@@magusalakcristituto449 US can banned it but they can't stop producer or director to made a film like this beside it has historical records and witnesses that can prove it happen. China also made a korean film they totally make it full propaganda trope.
Filipinos reflect their Faith As God sent Jesus to die and sacrifice his life so does the Philippines 🇵🇭 sending their sons and brothers and father's to die to restore freedom and save a nation. God Bless the Philippines 🇵🇭 even if some Koreans didn't know the truth I will never forget my grandfather who fought in that war too and to the other heroes with him
I was hoping most young koreans just like you guys..giving gratitude however in these recently era i heard and saw a lots ug racism koreans towards to the pilipinos...i’m hoping let’s change that mindset..we must love, care towards each other..❤❤❤...no to racism or looking down..we must remembering to those memories that once a upon a time these “poor and weak country” helped the korea...to gain their freedom to those countries taking advantage their weakness to those moment..phil sacrifice that time because of the weather, language barrier nevertheless the spirit of sincerity pilipinos fights whatever happens...let’s remembering to all the veterans armies the sacrifice and bravery...
There are a lot of videos that show how the Philippines helped other countries in time of need, but nowadays other countries maybe not all but most of it sees the Philippines as a strategic location, poor country, country where you can look for a wife etc.
This is what we are,our ancestors fight til the last breath and last drop of their blood ,we are born to be heroes,we fight for freedom, mabuhay Philippines
Thank you for expressing your deepest gratitude to our Filipino soldiers for their service to defend your nation and freedom. You should also watch the Battle of Yultong. Your new subscriber here
Being Filipino, my profound interest in history was sparked when I delved into the rich narrative of Korea. The revelation left me genuinely astonished. Given my love for history, I see Korea and the Philippines as part of a vast family. The mutual affinity is evident, with Filipinos eagerly embracing Korean culture and vice versa, fostering a deep connection between the two nations. 🇵🇭🤝🇰🇷
It didn't elaborate in the movie that most of the soldiers and officers of PEFTOK are WWII veterans and survived the 2nd world War but gave the ultimate sacrifice in Korea. Capt Conrado Yap and Lt. Artiaga really are heroes. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life against overwhelming enemy forces at Yultong, North Korea on 22-23 April 1951. As Commanding Officer of the Tank Company, Tenth Battalion Combat Team, Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea, CAPT YAP at 2300 hours on 22 Apr 1951, was executing a defensive action as an advance element of the frontline defense of the United States Army when an overwhelming superior enemy forces assaulted the PEFTOK positions as a part of the enemy’s general offensive. Upon being informed by his most advance unit that the enemy were rushing in to overrun their hill position and that the leader of this unit FIRST LIEUTENANT JOSE M ARTIAGA JR O-1966 INFANTRY, was hit, Captain Yap, determined to hold their position at all costs, reinforced the trapped unit of Lieutenant Artiaga and fought the enemy for one hour without success. Receiving a personal report from a member of the trapped unit who succeeded in extricating himself that the enemy has already captured the position and that Lieutenant Artiaga and many others were killed, captured or wounded, Captain Yap, in a desperate effort to rescue the lost unit ordered for covering support from the other units under his command and personally led a furious counterattack to regain the hill position and rescue the trapped unit despite an authority that he may withdraw which he has already received. He succeeded in recovering the body of Lieutenant Artiaga and that of three (3) other enlisted men when not being satisfied with this and acting above and beyond the call of duty, he proceeded to assault an enemy emplacement about 300 yards away despite the hail of enemy fires until he fell dead from an enemy bullet. His extraordinary heroism, indomitable courage, calmness and decisiveness won for him and the entire Tenth Battalion Combat Team praises by other allied nations’ soldiers with whom they are fighting side by side in Korea, and will inevitably form a part of the glorious traditions of our Armed Forces."
While im watching this story i cant help not to cry. I am proud to our soldier to help korean. Because helping others are from GODS WORDS . HE SAID HELP WHO ARE IN DISTRESS. SALUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS❤❤❤
It's sad what we've become and how many of the Korean people looked down on us. Koreans should know that Filipino volunteers where one of the first to defend their country even though we are still recovering from WW2 at that time. Even the president that time sent both of his son and son-in-law to lead as an example.
This an affirmation that Filipinos are great and resilient, and will really thrive in whatever situation they are in. It just saddens me that we have not grown or developed into a country just like South Korea or Japan.. Philippines is far left behind despite all the brilliant leaders , talented, skilled and smart Filipinos ; rich natural resources- the sad truth our we still remain a third world country.
I’m very proud of the Philippine expeditionary forces to Korea. It proves the Filipino valor and glory in defense of freedom not only for his country but also other freedom loving countries like Korea. Because of this valiant effort hence there’s a sense of endearment respect and indebtedness by the South Korean people.
America and allies have sort of forgotten that the Philippines was once the greatest allied forces who have a little contribution to win the battle for democracy. The forgotten allies 😢 many allies have rich status but the Philippines suffer most from poverty, lack of support from allied and america. They look us down😢
@DC13683just research how America supports Pakistan and china in terms of military and economy, they must be more corrupt than to the Philippines and no democracy.
Good that these people/ War veterans were able to record & recount real stories first hand. Many of them later on became famous like former Pres. Fidel Ramos & Ninoy Aquino ( modern hero who fought under dictatorship regime of the Phil. in the 70-80s). Hope this video would spread esp in S. Korea so the young generation would know, or better this should be part of video viewing in one of their history classes. For now, one could at least repost this video as our part of promoting this valuable piece of history to the present generation for them to value & protect the democracy we are presently enjoying... All we have to do is press the forward or share button, not fight in the cold like before, to rekindle patriotism & love of democracy as lucky citizens of free nations!!!
If we are talking about combat Frontline, you are already dead, coz you have to face your enemies soldiers duty Do or Die. My great grandfather's is one of them to send south Korea 1950 💀🇵🇭🗡️
I'm proud to because one of those is my Grandfather and my Father to 😊 And they said no matter what happens Philippines will be send automatically for helping South Korea for PACE TAKE CARE ALWAYS EVERYONE 🤗❤️🙏
Thank you for mesmerizing the past of Korea and Philippines historical war friendship hoping that friendship will continue no matter what... 🤗🇵🇭🇰🇷Btw I love miss Jin hair dye new color and miss princess new haircut and also Cj still pogi 😁
War is ugly but the loss of freedom and liberties are worth fighting for.... the freedom that we are enjoying now.... so to the youths, the sacrifices of your elders was not in vain for the life you have now..... be vigilant and treasure it for the sake of your children... kamsahamnida...mabuhay.
Koreans need to put this in their own history let the world know how friendly and how compassionate, and helpful Filipinos really are. The least they could do to something in return for my own country. A full bloodied, and a very proud and patriotic Filipino guy here...! 😊😅
Nag tour kami sa korea nung 2019, and our tiur guide was thankful sa sacrifice ng mga filipinos sa korean war, and he also mention our former president General Ramos❤❤
I hope more koreans spread and know of the grace, courage, and sacrifice of the Filipinos. That they may act with decency if not kindness to people who bled for their freedoms and their lives.
Thank you for reacting to this video. I have not seen this before and this really made me cry and your sincerity is hear felt. Philippines was suffering from WWII and has gone through soooo much that when our then president heard that South Korea needed help he did not hesitate. The part that really made me so sad was when our beloved army veterans mentioned about starving children and elderly and parents rushed to beg for food. I just can’t see people starving 😢😢😢😢 thank you for reacting to this love you guys❤️❤️❤️
My tears full down to watch the this vedio...😢😢😢 I did not know many pilipino soldier sucripise to another country.. hope so many korean did not forget that...a kindness of pilipino😢😢😢😢
In the land of South Korea, the blood, sweat, and tears of the brave soldiers of the Philippines fell for their freedom. May the people of South Korea never forget this sacrifice.
South Korea were so lucky to have 1000 brave Filipino soldiers who fought for their freedom against North Korea and China. Whatever success you have right now please never forget that Filipinos had a big contribution in Korea's History. We are hoping that if one day when Philippines will be needing your help you will do the same.
They made movies about Americans and turkish people in korean war but fee only knows that Filipino soldiers are actually the ones who stood their ground at its worst to defend South Korea. They were made the Frontliners but never acknowledged properly.
Very true. Without the Filipinos' incredible accomplishment during the battle of Yultong, not only holding back 40,000 enemy soldiers with only 900 of their own, but actually managing to push them back, giving the reinforcements time to arrive and position themselves, the Korean War might very well have ended with a Communist victory.
Sad but didnt even recognize how our soldiers fought for theirnfreedom.
I cried watching this😢. I’m sad that we filipinos didn’t get the honor and respect from Skoreans despite the sacrifice of our PETFOK heroes who fought for their freedom. I think it should written in their history in honor of the huge part of their freedom against Nkoreans. If it wasn’t for the bravery and heroic acts of our soldiers Skoreans will never get the freedom and democracy they are enjoying today. But I still love my Kpop and Kdramas ❤😂. It’s not their fault though because it was/is never been written in their history book nor taught in history classes. So sad! My big SALUTE to those filipino soldiers who fought for the Korean war! Mabuhay PILIPINAS!
Eto ang kayamanang di mananakaw ang kabutihan sa kapwa.
I told them, Filipino soldiers are so different from other forces because we rely first to God before we fight.
Because we worship the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, while the Chinese and korean is Buddha
I agree, Philippines are one of the Army of God, also the God will never leave us, so praise our god, and GLORY to our nation!!!
too bad some people see this line between the religions.... like when people say something about islam and that religion... but in fact it's the same god! funny how they would hate those people that believe in the same god.
tama..bahala na ang Diyos mamatay mn o mabuhay,ganun lage ang mga Pinoy lalo na ang sundalo ng Pinas
@@alexpamugas9917 i know you mean well, but be it God from Abraham, Allah for Islam, Buddha for Koreans or Chinese, the gods from the Hindus, or any other gods; what matters is when one believes in them or not as long as they have something to fight for, be it the safety of themselves, patriotism, or noble causes.
I understand you, but others might interpret your comment as too idealistic and singular.
After the battle, where 1400 Filipinos defended their position against at least 40000 red army soldier, the famous 5-Star-General Douglas MacArthur said “Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers - and I will conquer the world.” - he already experienced them in World War 2, where there were similar stories and experienced it there again. He considered the soldiers of the Philippines as the bravest and fiercest soldiers of all.
I hope many young Koreans will dig into our Philippines history and understand how we Filipinos have a very generous, loving and courageous hearts. We are not a perfect country, we are considered a third world but we are so proud of our heritage. I live in America for many years.. America is my country now but Philippines is my heritage and I am very proud of the Philippines and proud to be Filipino
I totally agree. I've lived in America for more than 30 years, proud of our Filipino heritage .
🥰🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭
Filipino blood flows in my veins no matter how long I had lived here in Canada. Can't imagine it will soon be 48 years, although I have visited back to my hometown multiple times/ almost every year since except during the pandemic...I am Canadian and still living loving Filipino.
👍💯🙏
why?
thats not important
i want my korean people to dig for the future
technolgy and advancement
not someone history
thats why filipino got behind
I'm proud that my grandfather was part of this. He was a major at the time, and eventually became a brigadier general. Eventually becoming the postmaster general of the Philippines. Whenever we would meet with Fidel Ramos, the former president would always salute my grandfather. Grandpa would say you outrank me now, and Ramos would say our ranks in battle would always be our ranks for life.
That's such a quotable quote from the late FVR. I would like to know the name of your grandfather whom the late president saluted to
Thank you 🙏 for your grandpa’s service to the countries Philippines 🇵🇭 and Korea in defense of freedom 🫡
Nothing but respect, salute!
same my grandfather was also part of it
Nothing but absolute respect for your grandfather!
Dear Koreans,
We Filipino dont ask anything from you, all we ask is that never forget the shared history that our both countries fight and died for, just past the history to your next generation, filipino dying in our own soil is heroic already but dying on a foreign soil must be written down in history. 🇰🇷❤🇵🇭
My grandfather served in the Korean war. He is still alive now. We are so very proud of him.
I guess you've heard wonderful stories from him. ❤
That is how we defended Korea. We will always defend your country when you need us. We hope Koreans realize that we Filipinos risk our lives for your freedom.
We Filipinos bled for the democrcy of Korea .
yeah! but sad to say most korean mock our nation they even video they're selves while spitting on our flag😢
Nope not anymore some of them are ungratefull not worthy to defend and besides they more powerful today..some koreans think we are poor country..we are not powerful as before..maybe sending help again like israel will be a good idea coz the know what is utang na loob means..😏😏
@@robertoclemente2283 Of course by the help of the UN also... we should
not grab all the credit that ok?
Filipino soldiers may not be great in numbers but they have the greatest weapon with them; their faith in God. They fight with guns loaded in bullet and prayers. I just love how they acknowledges God in every battle. One thing I'm also proud of as Filipino; when it seems impossible, we still have hope because we know we have God.
Man that's so true! 😭
Amen!
My great great grandfather (Dionisio S. Ojeda) is one Of the LTC in that war who sacrifice his life .. thanks for sharing this video to all of your viewers..it's like honoring the sacrifice he do not just a soldier but a people who value freedom not just for his country PHILIPPINES but for others too😊
Distant relatives 😊
@@jeraldconstantineojeda6916 yes..💕
Your grandfather are one of the soldiers in the Battle of Yultong in Korea
Salute to to your greatgrand father❤❤❤

Koreans forgot how the Philippines bled for their freedom, look how they belittle the Filipinos, look how they look down on us. This breaks my heart, that gratitude and honor isn't common to everyone.
Yeah I agreed, will because they didn't teach there curriculum in there school and beside there focus the economy to grow that lots of things didn't pay homage and forgotten the depth to other countries that's helps build there country back in those years how sad it is.
yeah this makes me sad, this is because in the books only Americans help the war. look how highly they see Americans.

Philippines doesn't need material in return but acknowledgement and recognized the effort of Filipino race to fight hand in hand in every country just for freedom
And also respect coz most of Koreans lookdown Filos without knowing the true history
It's sad what we've become and how many of the Korean people looked down on us.
There’s only one race. That is the human race but we do have different nationalities
No,we need more military assets😂
@@clownman9404don't mind it.
It's up to them if what they thought about us. The important is we help them once upon a time.
I really cried many times while watching this video because my late Grandfather, Cpl Rodrigo M Cabogoy, was part of the PEFTOK. I remembered him telling me he got his 2 bullet/shrapnel inflicted wounds on his right leg and shoulder, showing these battle-scars to me while talking about how they saw hundreds of Chinese coming right in front of them, He even told me if only the bullets in their ammunition boxes could inflict more when thrown in mass, they would throw it right at them for their Guns kept jamming due to overheating.... they mostly resorted to bayonets and Bolos whenever they got overrun. I was just 12 years old back then.
That's awesome man. Your Grandfather is a badass!
@@Normal-Person Back in WW2, they used to wear necklaces with japanese ears and chew them for snacks after dipping on a vinegar inside their bamboo canteens before or during a fight, just to quinch their hunger. Japs did the same by boiling the dead in a large pan for stew. that's what he said before he died more than a decade ago.
Manually fighting because they didn't have a choice na kasi overheated na yun mga guns nila. So bayonet na lang puede gamitin nila. Grabe ano tapus puro pangmamaliit ang nararanasan ng mga Pinoy sa Korea. Minsan tuloy maiisip mo ano kaya kung hindi pinadala ng Pangulo ng Elpidio Quirino ang mga kasundaluhan Filipino sa Bansa nila yun Time na yun. Siguro kaya naman nila ipanalo Di ba. Ang ayaw ko lang talaga sa Alliance natin sa America yun madalas nila ipangsabak ang mga sundalo Pilipino sa mabibigat na laban kasi alam nila mababait at Maawain. At determinado at malalakas at Matatalino pagdating sa Battlefield.
To your grandpa, thank you sir for your service. 🫡
Salute to your grand father❤❤❤❤
Karangalan ang maging Pilipino ! sa Isip, sa Salita at sa Gawa ❤
Philippines may be a small country. During Korean war, Philippines send army to help. During Vietnam war same thing happened and accepted the people fleeing from their country. Hitler killed alot of Jewish people and Philippines issued thousands pf passport for Jewish people to come here in the Philippines foe refuge. Proud to be a filipino. Always have an open hand to help other countries. ❤🎉🎉🎉
unfortunately, now we are look down upon by other countries or nationalities because we are not as rich as them. and totally forgot everything happened in the history :(
We are looked down because the "current generation" is nothing like the past generations. Too many average filipinos just following whatever is trending (clothes that hides nothing, dances that only whores used to dance, bayots, etc.)...no self-respect at all. Idolizing just anyone who comes into the big screen. Even our ancestors will be ashamed to see the current generation of filipinos now. *retch*
My grandfather was one of the Philippine soldier of the Korean war. This make me feel proud that he was part of it.
To your grandpa, thank you sir for your service. 🫡
tell your grandpa i give hime a salute and im proud of him ❤❤❤
Give me 10,000 Filipinos, ang we shall conquer the world - General Mac Arthur
@@alayoun75 It's just a saying. Highlighting that Filipinos are brave and strong enough to even fight the world if given the chance. Stop focusing on MAC ARTHUR, start comprehending the whole thought of why was this quote used here. :))
@@Riririririz i know it his own saying thats why i said he lies
@@alayoun75 If you did some research you would get your answer, but your too lazy and made a self assumption to declare that MacArthur is a liar.
@@alayoun75 MacArthur left the Philippines was because he was ordered to leave by the US President Franklin Roosevelt. Earlier MacArthur received a message from the head General in the US Army command in Washington DC to leave the Philippines, but he ignored it. He didn't want to leave the fight and his troops. Only the intervention from commander-in-chief, President Roosevelt, can over rule him. Defying a presidential order will lead to the charge of treason which is arrestible. MacArthur had no choice but to follow that order. The President wanted MacArthur, America's most experienced general, to command the entire US forces in the Pacific from Australia.
@@alayoun75 It certainly did not end in Death March. The Filipino soldiers became known as the best guerilla soldiers in the world. Once, I asked my wife's paternal lolo (grandpa) why some pans had pockmarks. He said, oh I wore that on patrols during WWII. For me, that was classic Filipino practical ingenuity. Thanks to those pans, he was able to have a family.
7:24 FSgt Young was awarded by the Philippine government with the Gold Cross Medal for this heroic feat.
He got Awarded With Taegeuk Medal in SK. that is comparable to Medal of Valor. Highest Military Award.
He Retired with a Rank of Major.
We hope that young Koreans will be aware to know about the history of both country.
FSgt Young is till alive.
@@aquillesanhaw3388 No one said he died.
Not all veterans soldiers who mentioned getting those award some are forgotten who fought the deliberation of Korea back on those wars it's sad to say that the old tales are forgotten by the government of Korea no longer mention.
@tankuser5441rest in peace brave man fighter of SoKor.
Ganyan pinag tangol ng mga sundalo namin ang bansa nyo. Sana balang araw pag kami naman ang malagay sa ganyang sitwasyon tulungan nyo rin kami ng walang pag aalin langan. Mabuhay ang pilipinas.
As you can see, Philippines suffered a lot of that era specially during WWII but still our President Elpidio Quirino, our armforces and all soldiers who faught during Korean War was trully a remarkable and must be remembered... we all know that there's only a little amount of soldiers sent by Philippines to Korea and they did their job to make us proud... even though they didn't know yet what they will encounter when they arrive to Korea still they did their job to be part of it. Philippines really love Korea and Koreans love our country but the memories of Korean War and all soldiers continuos fading.
*** SALUTE TO ALL WHO FIGHT FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM DURING THAT TIME ***
I hope more Koreans will know about this so more Koreans will love Philippines like how lots of Filipinos love Korea
This is why we are loved by so many … We are proud to help but selfish to share when we are in pain 😢Endurance is one of our innate quality!❤🇵🇭🙏
Hindi naman lahat ng koreans ay mababa ang tingin sa atin, mas marami pa rin sa kanila ang mababait at marami sa kanila ang nakakapanoud ng ganitong video na nagpapaalala sa kanila na minsan ay natulungan sila ng mga filipinong sundalo, doktor at engineers
My Grandfather is one of those, 20th Bct Peftok , he died in 2012 his Heroic adventures in Korea is no longer Forgotten. Hope Manny Young Korean respect the people who fought in this war, and remembrance the Philippines and Korean together back in those days.

Filipinos are friendly and good allied country.
This should be taught in south Korea and the Philippines along with other countries for younger generations to learn of how much strength we could achieve if we worked together instead of creating more wars. Even though the Philippines dealt a horrendous amount of damage during WW2 we still helped other countries and knew we would win because the Philippines is Gods army made of humans🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
As a Filipino I feel so proud to have the blood of such a amazing country ❤.
My grandfather was one of the man in 19th battalion.
My late grandfather is a PEFTOK veteran. He told us stories about the war and how hard it was for them enduring the cold that he isn't used to. He also told stories about his interactions with Koreans and how he carried a child himself helping a mother who is carrying loads and bundles.
I hope they will show this film to South Koreans young and old. The bravery of the allied forces; especially the FILIPINO troops who had a big role during the Korean war. Filipinos are always there to help and lend a helping hands to those who are needy, even though they are also struggling. God bless the Philippines.
This is a war where the heroism and dedication of those Filipino soldiers should be remembered. However,its one of the forgotten parts of the Korean War,the "Battle of Yultong",where Filipinos stood their ground but never told and acknowledged in most documentaries pertaining to the Korean War. Its always the Americans, who is depicted as the liberators.
Thank you guys for appreciating our soldiers bravery and love for your county's freedom.❤😊🇵🇭🤝🇰🇷
I salute the Filipino soldiers for participating the Korean wars. They are the heroes!
My father took part during Korean War and he fought 3 wars namely WW2, Korean and Vietnam wars and proud to be a Filipino-Am.
안녕하세요. 저는 한국인입니다.
영어가 좋지않아 영상은 못 보고 댓글만 보고있는데 몇몇 댓글이 마음을 아프게 하네요.😢
한국에서는 필리핀 용사들의 희생을 잊었다 혹은 교과서에 안적혀있다라는 말은 사실이 아닙니다.
실제로 학교, 티비, 인터넷 등등 수많은 매체에서 다른 나라를 포함해 필리핀에 대해서도 모두 다루고 있습니다.
다만 한국을 위해 희생해주신 국가들이 워낙 많아서 UN국이라고 통합해서 부르는 경우가 있습니다.
당시 도와주신 모든 국가가 67개국이라고 알고 있지만 죄송하게도 모두를 기억하기는 쉽지 않습니다.
그렇지만 필리핀은 친하고 가깝기 때문에 많은 사람들이 알고 있습니다.
무슨 이유인지는 모르겠지만 이러한 오해들이 생겨난 것은 유감이네요😢
하루빨리 풀렸으면 좋겠습니다!
🇵🇭❤ 🇰🇷
Wow. Thanks for the info ❤
Can't blame the hatred by the two sides. But I can blame the Americans. They split your country into two without knowing the citizens of korea
We are not generalizing you guys we really love you Koreans we know that some of you knows about this history especially those elders experienced that war. Maybe its time to educate the korean people who does'nt know about this history especially the young ones so that they wont end up on bullying and humilliating filipino people. Hopefully this video will became an eye opener for those korean racist who are mocking and bullying filipino people. I hope that it comes to your mind that somewhere in the past there are Filipino ancestors risk their lives just to save your ancestors.
They are other countries who helped but the only countries who come and fight till the end are "Filipinos"
@@Depadoa The division of Korea was actually caused by the Cold War, a power struggle between the USSR and the US. The Korean War was only a proxy of the Cold War. Not defending Americans because they really had a big play in several wars throughout history. However, they were not just the only reason (or country) that caused the Division. In the final days of World War 2, US proposed the division and the four allied powers (China, US, UK and USSR) agreed to proceed with the trusteeship, until such time Korea can stand on their own. However, due to the power struggle, failure to negotiate and the UN failing to provide an acceptable outcome for the Soviet, the country was officially divided into two in 1948: South became a capitalist country in August followed by North as a communist country. The UN led first the election in the US occupied South, which then prompted the Soviet occupied North to follow (assume of position).
Two countries that forever both will be sharing their History and Culture....and to the current generation the connection is there, but must know the past of how it happened. God Bless....
I am a Filipino and thanks for your respect to our forefathers in that war.
Love South Korea and Philippines ❤️ We love you guys from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
Mabuhay Philippines and Korea 🙌
Thanks south Korea for appreciating & recognizing the efforts & sacrefices of the Filipino soldiers during the Korean war,❤❤❤🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🖖🖖🖖
Hi guys, good to know you learned and seen your's and our history together during the turmoil years. Our nations both survived the war.
Filipinos just gave their best in defence of a friend (S.Korean)
As years passed-by both country become so close. S. Korean assisted Filipino in so many ways
Thats the spirits of pilipino people,the heart,kindness and prayers....
Both countries are bonded in history. Thus, the Philippines and South Korea are allies in trade and geo-politics. Lots of Koreans have chosen to reside in the Philippines and make it their second home. At the community level, Korean content creators vlog beautifully about the Philippines and appreciative Pinoys are supportive, becoming their subscribers and followers. Both countries truly value each other.
partida hindi pa sanay ang mga pinoy sa kanilang klima💪
Ang nag panalo sa kanila ay yung strategy. At napansin nila na hindi na train ng maayos ang mga sundalo ng chinese/N.K kaya yan ang nagjng advantage ng Filipino soldier's
Just think, if our Filipino soldiers did not keep fighting to hold their line & retreated like the Turkish & Puerto Ricans did, South Korea would probably be vastly different from what it is today. The men leading those troops knew what was needed to be done & made smart, effective decisive moves to lead their men with as little casualties as possible in spite of the cold weather & being so grossly outnumbered.
If the Filipinos didn't hold their lines, the South Koreans will be speaking with a North Korean accent now. Filipino-American watching in Virginia, USA
Salamat naman man korean na nakaappriciate ng kabutihan naming mga pinoy.thank you for your reaction,God bless all.I'm super proud that I am a Filipino😊❤
Now ko narealize kung bakit malapit ang loob ng mga matatandang korean sa mga pinoy nung nagtrabaho ako sa s.korea way back 2005-2015.
the koreans must learn this part of history because some of them are racist to the filipino..thank you for reminding your own generation that we 🇵🇭 is part of those depending your freedom.
My uncle one of war Korean veteran, and my grandpa one of veteran of WW II, during Japanese dead march in heaven 🪦, the war said my grandpa are very brave, the American and Filipino are surrendered many Filipino and American are died in death march they shoot if sick down, no food, bayonet to the head and body of Filipino and American no water. My grandpa in heaven 🪦 witness the horrible happened during that time, my grandpa captured in Bataan with American best friend John died in front of him. Because of her wound. Many Filipino and American died in Bataan. Japanese are very brave. Peace be with you 🙏. The war is over but the memories remain.
Sana matigil na ang mga ganito sa mundo, sana lahat madaan sa usapan at iwaksi na ang self distruction/annihilation at barbaric mindsets particular ng National Leaders.
It's weird that i just suddenly remembered march of the valiant and decided to check it out again, and here we are... like what our grandfathers did, Philippines will always be a brother to S.Korea. And it is our duty as their children to take care of the peace they have given, not only to the Koreans but to all of us.
Do react to another video related to this - it has a more Macro view of how everything played out; pre and post war.
It's not written in your books but we were there to help you. A lot of Koreans didn't know about this because according to my student only Americans were mentioned so now at least 3 more Koreans knew about the complete/ whole story about the war. Thanks for this reaction!
Sad to say, even they build monument to commemorate our Filipino Soldiers they didnt bother to mention FILIPINO SOLDIERS maybe because for them they are not worth to be mention on their history. 💔
I’m really hoping that these new generations will appreciate the sacrifice that our soldiers gave to help their country.
There is actually individual monument in the Korean War Memorial, each country that helped South Korea has its flag in the memorial and at each monument’s base is clearly inscribed how and when the country participated in the war, inside the hall - again each country are having dedicated commemorative walls with the countries’ flags and names of the fallen soldiers inscribed in it. I am a Filipino and i can say Korea has not forgotten the sacrifice of those who came during their time of need
Im chinese japanese. You rarely hear abouy filipinos helping other countries even though they did countless times through out history.
They helped east timor economically when even the americans wanted to have a war against them.
They helped japan right after the war against soviet russia. They had all the right to be angry at us. But no. They fought russia just so japan couldnt be annexed.
And they adopt people who were hunted down by their own country men like the bajao tribes in malaysia and indonesia. As a response they given them filipino citizenship and an island to live at.
And they adopted the japanese who seek asylum during the christian purge. I believe col.Azurin featured in the documentary are the descedant of those japanese people.
I see the philippines as the reliable neighbour always willing to help with a smile even though they themselves were struggling.
And the Jews at the time of Hitler
Thank you!❤🇵🇭
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you❤
The Filipinos' love for freedom is legendary. They seem happy-go-lucky because of their friendliness and smiling faces, but when freedom and democracy are threatened, they will fight to the death to defend them. Salute to the PEFTOK volunteer soldiers!
I have tears watching this because my Great uncle Fought Korean War and his Bigbrother my Grandfather fought in WW2 against the Japanese..
i’m a SONES, BLINK, MIDZY, VIP and a BLACKJACK !!! such a wonderful touching reaction video. let’s help one another! cheers !!! love from PH !!!
They should have made this into a film.
US wont allow it, because it will be clear now that Filipino soldiers almost did all the effort to win the war, did you hear the one veteran soldier said, one battalion of american soldiers will almost wipe out and they replace them and recapture that place wow
@@magusalakcristituto449 US can banned it but they can't stop producer or director to made a film like this beside it has historical records and witnesses that can prove it happen. China also made a korean film they totally make it full propaganda trope.
President FVR is a West Pointer Class 1950 brilliant tactician...
Filipinos just needs Respect in return specially if they go to South Korea not just to the tourist but to the Filipino workers too...
Filipinos reflect their Faith
As God sent Jesus to die and sacrifice his life so does the Philippines 🇵🇭 sending their sons and brothers and father's to die to restore freedom and save a nation.
God Bless the Philippines 🇵🇭 even if some Koreans didn't know the truth I will never forget my grandfather who fought in that war too and to the other heroes with him
I was hoping most young koreans just like you guys..giving gratitude however in these recently era i heard and saw a lots ug racism koreans towards to the pilipinos...i’m hoping let’s change that mindset..we must love, care towards each other..❤❤❤...no to racism or looking down..we must remembering to those memories that once a upon a time these “poor and weak country” helped the korea...to gain their freedom to those countries taking advantage their weakness to those moment..phil sacrifice that time because of the weather, language barrier nevertheless the spirit of sincerity pilipinos fights whatever happens...let’s remembering to all the veterans armies the sacrifice and bravery...
We consider South Koreans as our brothers and sisters because of that event in 1950...
There are a lot of videos that show how the Philippines helped other countries in time of need, but nowadays other countries maybe not all but most of it sees the Philippines as a strategic location, poor country, country where you can look for a wife etc.
This is what we are,our ancestors fight til the last breath and last drop of their blood ,we are born to be heroes,we fight for freedom, mabuhay Philippines
Thank you for expressing your deepest gratitude to our Filipino soldiers for their service to defend your nation and freedom.
You should also watch the Battle of Yultong.

Being Filipino, my profound interest in history was sparked when I delved into the rich narrative of Korea. The revelation left me genuinely astonished. Given my love for history, I see Korea and the Philippines as part of a vast family. The mutual affinity is evident, with Filipinos eagerly embracing Korean culture and vice versa, fostering a deep connection between the two nations. 🇵🇭🤝🇰🇷
It didn't elaborate in the movie that most of the soldiers and officers of PEFTOK are WWII veterans and survived the 2nd world War but gave the ultimate sacrifice in Korea. Capt Conrado Yap and Lt. Artiaga really are heroes.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life against overwhelming enemy forces at Yultong, North Korea on 22-23 April 1951. As Commanding Officer of the Tank Company, Tenth Battalion Combat Team, Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea, CAPT YAP at 2300 hours on 22 Apr 1951, was executing a defensive action as an advance element of the frontline defense of the United States Army when an overwhelming superior enemy forces assaulted the PEFTOK positions as a part of the enemy’s general offensive. Upon being informed by his most advance unit that the enemy were rushing in to overrun their hill position and that the leader of this unit FIRST LIEUTENANT JOSE M ARTIAGA JR O-1966 INFANTRY, was hit, Captain Yap, determined to hold their position at all costs, reinforced the trapped unit of Lieutenant Artiaga and fought the enemy for one hour without success. Receiving a personal report from a member of the trapped unit who succeeded in extricating himself that the enemy has already captured the position and that Lieutenant Artiaga and many others were killed, captured or wounded, Captain Yap, in a desperate effort to rescue the lost unit ordered for covering support from the other units under his command and personally led a furious counterattack to regain the hill position and rescue the trapped unit despite an authority that he may withdraw which he has already received. He succeeded in recovering the body of Lieutenant Artiaga and that of three (3) other enlisted men when not being satisfied with this and acting above and beyond the call of duty, he proceeded to assault an enemy emplacement about 300 yards away despite the hail of enemy fires until he fell dead from an enemy bullet. His extraordinary heroism, indomitable courage, calmness and decisiveness won for him and the entire Tenth Battalion Combat Team praises by other allied nations’ soldiers with whom they are fighting side by side in Korea, and will inevitably form a part of the glorious traditions of our Armed Forces."
While im watching this story i cant help not to cry. I am proud to our soldier to help korean. Because helping others are from GODS WORDS . HE SAID HELP WHO ARE IN DISTRESS. SALUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS❤❤❤
Wow! tears in my eyes! watching this..Big respect to all veterans soldier .❤❤❤
It's sad what we've become and how many of the Korean people looked down on us. Koreans should know that Filipino volunteers where one of the first to defend their country even though we are still recovering from WW2 at that time. Even the president that time sent both of his son and son-in-law to lead as an example.
We will have our time.We used to be powerful,we will become powerful again.What I'm proud of is we are kind,loving people no matter what.
those 1000 soldiers left their family for the sake and freedom of SOUTH KOREA.
Thank for honouring our soldiers.I 'm so proud because my Father was a PEFTOK Veteran.
Also watch the battle of yultong,,
This an affirmation that Filipinos are great and resilient, and will really thrive in whatever situation they are in.
It just saddens me that we have not grown or developed into a country just like South Korea or Japan.. Philippines is far left behind despite all the brilliant leaders , talented, skilled and smart Filipinos ; rich natural resources- the sad truth our we still remain a third world country.
🇵🇭❤️🇰🇷 Forever
I’m very proud of the Philippine expeditionary forces to Korea. It proves the Filipino valor and glory in defense of freedom not only for his country but also other freedom loving countries like Korea. Because of this valiant effort hence there’s a sense of endearment respect and indebtedness by the South Korean people.
America and allies have sort of forgotten that the Philippines was once the greatest allied forces who have a little contribution to win the battle for democracy. The forgotten allies 😢 many allies have rich status but the Philippines suffer most from poverty, lack of support from allied and america. They look us down😢
ITS AMERICA'S FAULT BUT NOW THEY ARE GETTING THEIR OWN KARMA
Jesus this inferiority complex comment!
Blame those criminals, traitors and full of greed politicians that you have voted off.
@DC13683just research how America supports Pakistan and china in terms of military and economy, they must be more corrupt than to the Philippines and no democracy.
So heartbreaking but proud. I hope the coming generations will always remember and love freedom.
Good that these people/ War veterans were able to record & recount real stories first hand. Many of them later on became famous like former Pres. Fidel Ramos & Ninoy Aquino ( modern hero who fought under dictatorship regime of the Phil. in the 70-80s).
Hope this video would spread esp in S. Korea so the young generation would know, or better this should be part of video viewing in one of their history classes.
For now, one could at least repost this video as our part of promoting this valuable piece of history to the present generation for them to value & protect the democracy we are presently enjoying... All we have to do is press the forward or share button, not fight in the cold like before, to rekindle patriotism & love of democracy as lucky citizens of free nations!!!
If we are talking about combat Frontline, you are already dead, coz you have to face your enemies soldiers duty Do or Die. My great grandfather's is one of them to send south Korea 1950 💀🇵🇭🗡️

20:35 it’s literally the same scenario back in marawi war and i can never forget that,, im cryinng😭
War is ugly but the loss of freedom and liberties are worth fighting for.... the freedom that we are enjoying now.... so to the youths, the sacrifices of your elders was not in vain for the life you have now..... be vigilant and treasure it for the sake of your children... kamsahamnida...mabuhay.
It's just sad that sometimes Koreans and Filipinos have misunderstandings. We should treat each other with respect because we work hand in hand.
Koreans need to put this in their own history let the world know how friendly and how compassionate, and helpful Filipinos really are.
The least they could do to something in return for my own country.
A full bloodied, and a very proud and patriotic Filipino guy here...! 😊😅
I can't imagine joining a fight I have nothing to do but I did join anyways, that's crazy... Respect.🤝👏
Nag tour kami sa korea nung 2019, and our tiur guide was thankful sa sacrifice ng mga filipinos sa korean war, and he also mention our former president General Ramos❤❤
I hope more koreans spread and know of the grace, courage, and sacrifice of the Filipinos. That they may act with decency if not kindness to people who bled for their freedoms and their lives.
Thank you for reacting to this video. I have not seen this before and this really made me cry and your sincerity is hear felt. Philippines was suffering from WWII and has gone through soooo much that when our then president heard that South Korea needed help he did not hesitate. The part that really made me so sad was when our beloved army veterans mentioned about starving children and elderly and parents rushed to beg for food. I just can’t see people starving 😢😢😢😢 thank you for reacting to this love you guys❤️❤️❤️

Philippines is the Legendary fighters until death they serve true Loyalty to their alliance
