"They were ill trained and poorly led. Theirs is the glory of Bataan which nobody recognized and everybody wants to claim. These boys were in the front lines without relief for 3 months. Ill fed, ill equipped and poorly trained. However, they stood their ground notwithstanding all this and the lack of leadership and training officers. History and MacArthur may decide who was the merit. To me it was the courage of the Filipino defending his country and his own.”
- First Lieutenant Fernando Camus
