Indispensible Ally There is no doubt that the raid at Cabanatuan owes much of its success and a great deal of its color to Pajota's brilliance, as well as to the loyalty of the Filipino villagers and the bravery of Pajota's men. Like many of the Filipino guerrillas, Juan Pajota's life story is little-known. What we do know is that he was courageous, loyal, and very smart. After the war, Pajota moved to the U.S. He died of a heart attack in 1976 -- just days before becoming a U.S. citizen. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bataan/peopleevents/p_pajota.html

Indispensible Ally "...In his talk at the United States Embassy honoring him, and in speeches to a variety of audiences, Mr. Sides would repeatedly emphasize the invaluable role played by the Filipino guerrillas in helping and supporting the rescue operations. He never fails to mention the names Captain Juan Pajota and Captain Eduardo Joson two veteran guerrilla fighters who, with their hundred men provided reconnaissance, tactical information, and their lives fighting the Japanese forces while the raid on the prison camp occurred."
