{"product_id":"2940148789963","title":"The Japanese Sneak Attack in Subic: An Untold Episode of World War II","description":"Here’s an all-season staple gift for loved ones--- regardless of race age,, calling, etc. Make fun dissecting a one-of-its kind intuition-mandated revelation via a hitherto untold supernaturally tinged, eye-witness testimony on the “day that will live in infamy.” Triggering the bloodiest and costliest war since creation, it exacted last remedy from the world’s most blessed country, fatefully touching too on how a man of 82, after repeated near-death throes as a wartime teen, then sudden heart attack victim at 76, seems destined so---by luck, DNA, God’s  will, or what else? Enjoy finding amazingly intriguing answers while grasping better the purpose of life as mirrored by a mystical chain of faith-tinged paranormal experiences as if uncannily DNA’s umbilical cradle, responsible for mortals’  longevity or nemesis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubic is a once-nondescript Philippine town bombed on the day Japan launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor: December 7, 1941. Here is a hitherto untold testimony on that “act of infamy,” touching  too on how a man of 82, after repeated near-death throes as a wartime teen, then sudden heart attack victim at 76, seems to be destined so— by DNA, luck, God’s will, or ? Evocative of wonder— even fun from dissecting faith’s mysterious facet as a seemingly DNA’s umbilical cradle for living life’s true purpose regardless of race, calling, age, etc., it is not just about a war or a boy raised amid the ills of world turmoil but a compelling tale of hope and survival, tinged uncannily with a soul’s indestructibility. The author was a 4th-grader in the school of his birth place, Subic, when bombed on the day Pearl Harbor was. But it was Sunday, forestalling an otherwise fatal tragedy to students, including him. Unlike in Hawaii, though, a 3-year enemy conquest ensued, inflicting a hell of atrocities, hunger, and disease. But in spirit the Filipinos stayed unconquered— just as several American soldiers— by not surrendering but fighting along with Subic guerrillas. People’s faith endured only because of U.S. General Douglas MacArthur’s promised salvation--- anticipated with earnestness as if he was an awaited Messiah. An American Guerrilla in the Philippines is a Hollywood movie filmed in 1950 in Subic —but just for site purposes. Here is an authenticating side to how— against treachery and the dreaded Kempetai secret police, American patriots and their Subic counterparts kept up the fight until one, among others, survived and rejoined with liberating GIs in 1945. Vital to history’s missing link, it resurfaced only because of a chain of mystically interspersing paranormal phenomena, now contextually recounted as realistically as how they occurred per se. And here is propitiously pointed out why anyone may henceforth feel like using the word “God” always as a daily mnemonic lifetime habit tickler, deciphered in reverse “doG” “(man’s best friend’)— to mean “Do only Good,” not “Greed,” the root cause of all evil in the world, period. And as said, “The only new thing in the world is the history you do not know” (Harry S. Truman).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat a man of average health would reach 82 after multiple near-death throes as a war-time teen, then a sudden heart attack victim at 76 as if for a purposefully tinged twilight longevity appears to be a destiny linkable only to God’s will, DNA, healthcare, chance, or altogether. But only by readers’ own in-depth look into it— as predicated on such premise— can a better grasp or clue for how the reality of it all evolved in the context that took shape per se thereof in the ultimate be possible. As if wrought by a multiplicity of interacting factors with a foregone certitude to elicit fun out of dissecting how faith relates to the real purpose of life regardless of race, calling, etc., here’s a hitherto untold WW II testimony, tinged uncannily with all about “hell, faith, and salvation”— summated in every human life as personified by body, mind, and spirit. The author is a 4th-grader in the elementary school of his birthplace, Subic, Philippines, when bombed by Japanese airplanes on the same day Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, with President Franklin D. Roosevelt then exclaiming, “… a day that will live in infamy…,” thereby triggering U.S. entry into modern times’ most destructive world turmoil.  It was Sunday— no classes, so forestalled what otherwise would have been a fatal tragedy to teachers and students including the author himself. But, unlike in Hawaii, enemy conquest ensued.
