Others of our Manila men had joined various local watch groups. while still others joined up with civilian guards at the perimeter of the town. Every man. woman. child. automobile. truck. carratela. and oxcart was stopped. scrutinized. andsearched as they attempted to either enter or leave the town. Several Japs in civilian clothes. ahead of their Army. were in that way apprehended. This work. particularly at night. was increased by the fact that hundreds of cars and other forms of transportation were constantly arriving laden with refugees and their effects. Many of them reported having left their towns as the Japs entered them. They were seeking a safe haven.
