[QUOTE ]Said Lachica: "Many veterans are saying 'What are they waiting for? Are they waiting for us to all die so they won't have to pay?[/QUOTE] I hate to say it "but probably" .... this whole set up is a mess ..... why why do these soldiers ( Filipinos ... Gurkhas .... and all the other men who went to war ) have to wait 60 odd years to get a pittance ? ... it's disgusting ........ !! I'd better not say what I really think !! :censored:
It's about time !! :clapping: But of course although it's a nice lump sum ... it's not nearly enough ..... and now they're nearly all too old to enjoy it ! We owe the Filipino veterans a big debt of thanks ... and I'm just sorry it came so late !
