Carmina and Patch discuss the oft forgotten 20-month British occupation of Manila. They trace how a global conflict reached Philippine shores, the reasons for Britain’s invasion, and the unexpected husband-and-wife Ilocano heroes who emerged from this brief episode. Join them in the exploration of this short-lived conquest and how things could have been had the British succeeded.
