acording to an interview with a us ww2 vet. he says some filipinos were sent to japan and trained then sent back to the pinas a another form of philippine constabulary


Leon Beck -- Mr. Beck served as a Private in the 31st Infantry
Batallion, U.S. Army. He was a POW for fourteen days until he escaped
from the Death March. He then fought against the Japanese with several
different guerrilla outfits until American forces returned to Luzon in
January, 1945.

Beck: . But they sent a big contingent of Filipinos to Japan, put them
through military school, brought them back to Luzon and put them in a
Philippine Constabulary. And we had more trouble with the Philippine
Constabulary than we had with the Japanese. They were a real thorn in
the side because you couldn't distinguish them from the clothing they
wore or their appearance, and if they saw you, they'd report you. The
next thing you know, there's a Japanese raid on that barrio.
