A salute to the hunters
This
site is dedicated to the legendary ROTC Hunters Guerillas
-- a shining episode in Philippine ROTC history.
The
original hunters were composed of some 300 cadets from the
Philippine Military Academy and Reserve Officer Training Corps
units of various Metro Manila universities, who answered the
nation's call to service during the Second World War. They
were organized on January 1942 in San Juan del Monte, Rizal.
Though
initially turned back due to their youth -- they played a
crucial role in the war against the Japanese when Philippine
and American forces resorted to guerilla tactics. The original
core group later expanded to become one of the largest guerrilla
units in Luzon.
