You will be able to read in the museum the letters exchanged between a Japanese, Tatsuo Kano, Alfredo Bunye and President Elpidio Quirino, pleas to free the Japanese prisoners. But they deserve a second chance to live again as useful and productive citizens." Yes, they committed crimes against society. But according to one comment from that time in the visitor's book, "I am more than pleased to see war prisoners treated so humanely." Instead of making it his opportunity for revenge, Alfredo said, "We must stop the cycle of violence and hate." For his humanity, he was regarded by his Japanese prisoners as the "Father of Muntinlupa." His son, Toting, named after Alfredo's father Ignacio, related to me how eventually, as director of the Bureau of Prisons, his father stopped the use of inhumane foot shackles for prisoners who had a history of escaping. His father, Ignacio, was himself killed by one of them. Alfredo Bunye was the superintendent of the NBP at the time. The Raid at Muntinlupa is hailed as one of the finest surprise attacks ever launched by the Filipino guerrillas.īut after the war, in a reversal of fortune, it was the Japanese soldiers who were imprisoned in Muntinlupa. They tricked the Japanese guards into opening the gates for them, allowing them to take away their captive warriors and steal arms and ammunition in a 45-minute operation without a single casualty. On June 24, 1944, the Hunters ROTC guerrillas made a daring raid. It happened when the facility was used both as a prisoner-of-war camp and a civilian internment camp by the Japanese occupiers during the Second World War. Only the President of the Republic can stop an execution.īut my favorite Bilibid story is not about convicts but of a well-planned operation of our freedom fighters highlighted by a text in the museum. For at the time before mobile phones and Facebook messenger, that direct PLDT line to Malacañan Palace was crucial. A reminder of those times up until 1976 is the electric chair on display, along with a red telephone. My childhood memories of my elders' conversations about the young convict on death row Baby Ama, or the execution of the rich boys who abducted and raped Maggie de la Riva dominate my consciousness of Bilibid.
