Eguchi: RP, sanctuary of Japanese criminals
By Hiroyuki Eguchi
Unvisited Viewpoint
"There is no room for doubt that flocks of ugly Japanese men are flying to Manila. The consequence is that 100,000 or 120,000 'Japinos', or FJC (Filipino Japanese children), are born to poor Filipina mothers. They are mothers and children abandoned by ugly Japanese men who enjoy fake romances."
ACCORDING to a recent report released by the Japanese National Police Agency, Manila is listed as the number one place to which Japanese criminals flee. The most recent case was a kidnap/murder suspect who fled from Japan and was on Interpol's wanted list. He was arrested at Manila's international airport.
As the overseas travel season during summer vacation approaches, travel agencies in Japan launch promotion campaigns. Their recommended destinations in Asia include Bangkok, Singapore, Bali, Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh. The Philippines, although a part of Asia, is usually not included. It is not considered an appropriate destination for ordinary tourists, such as young working women and families.
Besides nasty travel guides written by sleazy reporters, like guidebooks on prostitution tours in Manila are available at bookstores. There is no room for doubt that flocks of ugly Japanese men are flying to Manila. The consequence is that 100,000 or 120,000 "Japinos," or FJC (Filipino Japanese children), are born to poor Filipina mothers. They are mothers and children abandoned by ugly Japanese men who enjoyed fake romances.
The Philippine government once lodged a protest about this. As a desperate measure taken under the pressure of necessity, an NGO, Citizen's Network for Filipino Japanese Children, was founded. The mission of its Philippine office, called Maligaya House, is to find the fathers and have them pay child support. When I visited the organization, the staff told me about some of the villainous deeds committed by ugly Japanese men.
Please allow me to get this point straight. My assertion is not based on the so-called masochistic historical perception. I hate the foolishness of Japan or Japanese who try to curry favor by subserviently accepting all the blame. There is an Asian superpower, which has sent a deluge of thugs to Japan with the aim of destabilizing Japan's public order to a critical level.
The Asian giant wheels and deals and scoops up the juicy parts of those deals. It arrogantly and insolently denounces our religious beliefs and acts aimed to remembering the dead. Some people defend such "historical perceptions." I am ashamed of these tomfool Japanese who slavishly lick the dust for the superpower.
Neither the Philippine government nor the Philippine media have condemned Japan for its "historical perception" regarding the country. However, if the Philippine people point their fingers at Japan in the context of "historical perception," citing numerous hideous acts the Japanese have done to Filipinos, I don't have a well-founded argument to defend Japan.
