TAGUIG CITY, Philippines – A group composed of children of Filipino war veterans continue to fight for the benefits due them.

Joining the celebration of Veteran’s Day at American Cemetery, the Philippine Veterans Legion (Sons and Daughters) (PLV) Laguna Chapter said they will persist on helping beneficiaries of the veterans during the World War II.

The group was established in the 1980s but was only formally recognized last January 30, 2008.

“We aim to unite the sons and daughters of veteran and so together we can combat for our benefits because of the sacrifices of our parents during the war,” said Carmelita Bumatay, president of the PLV Laguna Chapter.

Bumatay recalls her father who served during the World War II.

During the liberation in Laguna, her father, Lt. Jose Rodriguez Sr. was raising the flag not knowing that there were still enemies in the location. He got shot but managed to live. He later died of a disease.

Bumatay now receives pension through the help of US Embassy and her organization but the fight is not over.

“I only had mine but what about the others?” she added.

Bumatay lamented that many people have already forgotten the Filipinos who fought with the American during the World War II. For the relatives of these war veterans, their bravery will never fade.

Many relatives, however, are losing hope in getting the benefit they deserve.

Bumatay said that due to the delay in the processing of benefits, some are falling to fixers who offer to facilitate the processing.

Bumatay advised her fellow beneficiaries not to give up their right and join their organization.

    The veterans are due to get some benefits. The sacrifice they made during the world war II, thats why they should have been benefited. Carmelita Bumatay has taken a very good step but it should have been taken much earlier.

    I am a daughter of a WWII veteran who was able to go to USA but did not get any pension for being a war veteran from the US government. He only survived in the US from the allowance he was getting from SSI (which can be availed of by an ordinary immigrant in the US). He died in September 2003 and the only thing that he got for being a war veteran is his US citizenship. I hope that Ms. Bumatay’s crusade for the veteran’s children succeed. Please give me information on this quest, like an organization here in Malabon City or in any place in Metro Manila who can help us with the possible claim.
