This book, based on its source, reveals that twelve bazaars run by the Japanese were operating (Bazar Konnichiwa, Honest Bazar, Japanese Bazar, Kyoto Bazar, Nippon Bazar, Osaka Bazar, Sakura Bazar, Sekai Bazar, Taisho Bazar, Tokyo Bazar, Washington Bazar, Fuji Bazar), trading companies such as Daido Boeki were doing business, there were bicycle shops called Sunada and Mori, the Japanese set up a Health Rubber Factory, and manufactured shoes, there was also a service company called Matsuo, making chest, cabinets, chairs and billiard tables, and there was a carpenter called Shibata. This book also reveals the following facts; After the Pearl Harbor Attack on 8 December 1941, most of the Japanese living in Cebu were interned at an elementary school and some warehouses. They were released when the imperial Japanese forces landed on Cebu in April, 1942. Soon after the release, the Shin-Nihonjin-Kai (New Japanese Association) was esptablished. This association covered the whole of the Visayas region, 200 from Negros, 450 from Panay, 50 from Leyte and Samar, and 300 from Cebu, 1,000 in total. Japanese civilians started evacuating from Cebu in mid-1944. On 30 January 1945, several ships carrying hundreds of Japanese evacuees left the port of Cebu, but were detected by the US forces and sunk by US airplanes off the coast of Bohol. Most of them died. On 18 February 1945, the remaining Japanese in Cebu formed a unit called Cebu Japanese Resident Volunteers. The Commanding officer was Japanese Consul Chosaku Shigekaki. After the landing of the US forces in March 1945, About 420 members evacuated into the mountain area of Cebu. But they were continuously attacked and killed by the guerrillas and US forces, and only 19 members survived when they surrendered to the US forces on 16 August 1945. I did not know these facts, so I have learned a lot from this book.
