YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

時は、第二次世界大戦 真っ直中。フィリピンはマリカで、アメリカ軍と日本軍が合戦を繰り広げる。その結果として残ったものは両軍の何千人分もの遺骨だった—。

以降、現在に至るまで、日本政府はフィリピン現地人たちに協力を依頼。今なお兵隊たちの遺骨や遺品を掘り出させているという。

VICEはマリカの街を訪問。現在進行形で日本兵の遺骨探しを行なっているという人物、サントス氏の下を尋ねた......。

During the Second World War, the US and Japan had fought in the Philippines, which produced thousands of causalities on both sides. Since then, the Japanese government has developed a program to retrieve the bones of the dead soldiers during that era with a yearly budget of $700K. However, the program wasn't as successful as they had hoped for, inducing the government to collaborate with the locals to help dig up the lost bones.

We traveled to Malica, where 4,600 Japanese soldiers and 3,200 American soldiers were killed on the battlefield. Santos, one of the locals who we met during our trip, is a so-called 'bone hunter' with 12 years on the job. He has found thousands of bones during work, including grenades, drugs, swords, guns, toothbrushes, gold teeth, among other things.
