1
00:00:00,69 --> 00:00:06,91
You know. There

2
00:00:09,37 --> 00:00:12,54
. Was

3
00:00:17,81 --> 00:00:23,94
. I think if it wasn't
for these men of the

4
00:00:25,25 --> 00:00:32,08
Filipino descent. Looking out of the
farms. It had been very difficult for

5
00:00:32,08 --> 00:00:38,12
people to come back to their farms and even
if the farming was not intact deciding

6
00:00:38,13 --> 00:00:42,89
the presence of those people in their homes
and looking after their property was

7
00:00:42,89 --> 00:00:49,82
important I. For an example like
gardens pretty much shut down.

8
00:00:50,28 --> 00:00:56,63
No one looked after Beamer's gardens
and greenhouses were destroyed

9
00:00:56,63 --> 00:01:03,01
people threw rocks or the glass. A member
once. Junko writing an article about they

10
00:01:03,01 --> 00:01:08,84
used to have these two lions and Garter
their beautiful pond and they disappeared

11
00:01:08,84 --> 00:01:12,60
and they'd never been seen in resends and
right up to that article appeared in the

12
00:01:12,60 --> 00:01:18,64
paper with the next week the two lines
appeared on his doorstep still I know

13
00:01:19,70 --> 00:01:24,46
you know people just decided these people
probably will never come back. So let's

14
00:01:25,21 --> 00:01:29,33
just help ourselves to these things and I'm
sure that would have happened if almost

15
00:01:29,33 --> 00:01:36,08
all the houses if. No one was there
to be living in them. So in some

16
00:01:36,08 --> 00:01:39,72
cases again there were Caucasian families
that looked after farms like the corners

17
00:01:39,72 --> 00:01:45,95
of the rivers and the companies in the old
talkies and things but in those cases it

18
00:01:45,95 --> 00:01:51,14
was really the Filipino men that worked
for the farmers It looked after the

19
00:01:51,14 --> 00:01:55,58
property. So in

20
00:01:55,58 --> 00:02:01,20
a lot of ways. The second world war was.

21
00:02:02,01 --> 00:02:06,96
Tough on the Japanese American fans but
it gave some of the Filipino families and

22
00:02:06,96 --> 00:02:13,92
the opportunity to go beyond where they
were because they realize that they

23
00:02:13,92 --> 00:02:14,21
could.
