Abstract:

These factors add to the hardships and sufferings of the Filipinos. The Japanese period is always stereotyped in the Philippine history as the most violent colonizers, the risk and danger always comes with the human factor but we must also consider that risk and danger are not isolated on human action; these can also be brought by natural factors. This study will focus on the narratives and historical accounts on the natural calamities during that time 1942-1945 and the corresponding action taken by the colonizers in managing these calamities especially in propagating their political cultural propaganda.
