I am currently watching The History Channel's Battles that Doomed Japan. In a segment they showed clips from the Leyte Landings to the Battle of Manila. This is the most comprehensive video clips I've seen about the battle of Manila. Besides the usual MacArthur stuff they had a 2 minute clip on the Rizal stadium skirmish as well as the re-taking of Intramuros.

This is why I am a HC addict! They're the best.

I'm watching something on a Japanese Channel which I find myself frequenting lately, it's about Tora Tora Tora naman.

You Pinoys living in the US are lucky to have the History Channel! (heck, where I live, I can't even get the Discovery Channel!) Someone should export it here.... I figure if they can do it for Survivor and American Idol and all those other shows, they can do it for us history buffs! #:-)
