Feel free to reject my post. Looks like WWII history isn't really of interest on this site. I understand.
I love history. All the WWII stories left in the Philippines are fascinating to me.
I liked the post so I wanted to approve it. I wrote two questions in the rejection message, asking for the post to be revised to make it clearer.
I visited the Leyte Memorial a while ago. It was really nice.
I think interest in history is mostly Eurocentric. And many Filipinos I've talked to don't seem very interested. I get it, though. History is usually told from a white perspective, and many Filipinos are focused on making a living, so most of their mental energy goes to planning for the future. When they rest, they probably don't want to think about war or rich white men. Also, we can sit comfortably and talk about Gettysburg or Appomattox, but the scars of WWII are still fresh for many families.
