The Filipinos weren’t praying for our deaths.

Well maybe other than Muslims there.

NO, the Filipinos were praying for the deaths of the Japanese.

A friend of mine was born on Guam. His dad was US military. His mom and dad were originally from the Philippians.
His mom grew up in a remote island. Her parents were pretty important land owners and town officials. When the Japanese invade they lined up her parents and all the other wealthy people in the village and cut their heads off in front of everyone with the Samurai swords.

She ended up in an orphanage. Eventually moving to Guam with her husband and the US military. My friend lives outside of Seattle now. His family is still involved in litigation to regain the thousands of acres of land they lost where the Japanese invaded. Needless to say, his grandmother NEVER forgave the Japanese and hated them until the day she died.
