More to the point, why are we bringing up Japan's treatment of American POWs in a war eight decades ago when talking about hiring people from the Philippines today? Anyone responsible for war crimes in WW2 is either dead or a hundred plus years old and not applying for a fucking job somewhere. And the Philippines were brutalized by Japan in that war, which makes wanting to punish them for the actions of the Japanese forces that much more insane. It's kind of like wanting to crackdown on those who were in Auschwitz, and not distinguishing between the guards and the prisoners.
