Destroyed Makapili Headquarters in Barrio Sulok 1945
Date Taken: 25 October 1945
Original Caption: These are the ruins of the headquarter of the Filipinos, who collaborated with the Japs, at Sulac, Batangas, Luzon, P.I. (for Philippine Islands)
These collaborators were a group called the Makapili or the “Makabayang Katipuna ng mga Pilipino” which was formed to provide military assistance to the Japanese. There was, indeed, a barracks in Barrio Sulok from where the Makapilis operated.
Note to the reader: “Sulac” is Barrio Sulok at the border between the Lipa City and Santo Tomas, known in the present day as Barrio Santa Cruz of Santo Tomas.
