US Army's defense of the Philippines and Malay colonies relied on island fortresses like Corregidor, but it was lost to a Japanese attack on May 6, 1942. Colonel Joseph Madden, a survivor, was tasked with organizing a guerrilla resistance with the help of Captain Andrés Bonifácio, the grandson of a legendary anti-US freedom fighter.
