- "After driving the Filipinos out of the trenches our troops, after firing one or two volleys, press forward.

Stretchers are quickly brought out and the nurses tenderly care for the fallen and carry them to the rear."

- Beginning with scenes on board a ship, the spectator is transported to Manila and shown the coaling of vessels by the coolies, who do the work by hand. In front of the Binondo Parish Church are seen the rows of beggars asking alms. With views of the Manila water-front and interesting street scenes the spectator begins a tour of Japan. The great cities of Canton, Tokyo and Yokohama reveal many extraordinary natural wonders of customs and industries. In the city of Tokyo we see a reception given at the residence of Mr. A. Asano, and in Yokohama a theater street is gay with the bunting and decorated poles as far as the eye can see. Then we view the Nipa houses along the water-front and are transported across the Tasig river on the ferry. The native city of Shanghai proves a store of interest. In Kobe we view the great bronze Budda of Dalbutzu, a gigantic construction that can be seen from a distance of many miles. By boat a trip is made up the picturesque Pearl River to the very gate of the city of Canton, where the Cantonese crowds reveal many strange types. The idle junks mirrored on the placid bosom of the waterways complete a film of unusual interest to all lovers of Far Eastern life.
- An educational picture showing the good work of our educational army of invasion.
- During Robert L. Ripley's absence on a world tour, 'Leo Donnelly' narrates scenes of oddities in the Philippines, Japan, Luxembourg and other places.
- This narration-driven travelogue begins with scenes of Manila Bay and the city's harbor. From there, it visits Fort Santiago, watches the delivery of an orphaned baby to Hospicio De San Jose, and explores other parts of the city, as the narration waxes condescending about the various aspects of Philippine life.
- The film tells the tale of Guia, a country girl played by Mila del Sol, who begins to sing American songs on the radio, after being infatuated with images of Hollywood and the attention lavished on her by the son of the wealthy hacienda owner.
- Other than newsreels, this is the first film (feature or short), relating to the United States' entry into World War II, released after the Japanese sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor. It, in addition to newsreels clips from the cowardly bombing of Pearl Harbor, is comprised of clips from previous "March of Time" shorts such as "Crisis in the Pacific," (Hong Kong's defensive preparations); "Spoils of Conquest" (dealing with the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies); and "The Phillipines - 1898-1941."
- The entire newsreel, in a single segment, is devoted to the completion of the liberation of the Philippines from the forces of Imperial Japan, beginning with the final assault on those forces at Manila and ending with MacArthur in Corregidor.
- Newsreel in five segments features rescue of POWs in Manila in the course of its liberation by American forces; activities at the Red Cross offices in Geneva; major ice jams on two U.S. rivers; current activities of the U.S. Coast Guard; and FDR's report to Congress on the Yalta conference.

Believing that her boyfriend has been killed in the war, Norma becomes receptive to being courted or wooed by the American, and she becomes the object of gossip. Filipinas who went around with American G.I. soldiers were considered loose or hanggang pier lamang. The film also shows Manila right after the war's end, a large part in ruin.
- Norma Blancaflor and her mother pose as wealthy to enter a movie star contest, occupying an affluent family's home while they're away. Unexpectedly, the son returns and plays along with their charade in this mistaken identity comedy.
- Magkaibang Lahi tells the story of two sisters, Corazon del Rio (Corazon Noble), a former movie star before the war and Nenita (Rosita del Cielo). Cora was among the victims of Japanese atrocities during the last few weeks before the fall of Manila in 1945. She was bayoneted in the arm something that really happened to actress Corazon Noble. In the hospital while recuperating and being cared for by Charlie, the American officer who saved her life (the ubiquitous Art Cantrell) Nenita, Cora's sister meets the dashing American and a love affair develops. In the meantime the wealthy Fidel (Ely Ramos) resurfaces and is frantically searching for Cora. He is trying to rekindle a romantic past that was ruined by Fidel's mother (Isa Bonita) who looks down on movie actresses. Nenita and Charlie got married but the American officer has to remain in Manila to await his discharge. Nenita travels to the U.S. with Cora and both women receive the shock of their lives when they are given a frosty or chilly welcome by Charlie's family. Unable to endure their stay in the United States any longer, the sisters prepare to leave and return to the Philippines but Charlie accompanied by Fidel arrive in the nick of time. Charlie' s two haughty sisters are immediately chastised by their brother. They are charmed by the debonair Fidel now believing perhaps that Filipinos do not have tails and live in the trees. Charlie leaves his American family and comes back to the Philippines and Fidel and Cora are reunited and they live happily ever after. A happy ending all around. Magkaibang Lahi tackled the controversial and almost taboo "serious" interracial relationships that occasionally developed between American officers or G.I.s and Filipino women.
- This RKO short, part of the "This is America" series, details (as much as possible in a 20-minute short) the transformation, following World War II, of the Philippine Islands, from a divided country of six languages and 80 dialects, into a unified democracy-loving nation. The story is told largely through the experience of Thomas Briggs, an Ohio school teacher, who, years before the Japanese invasion of WWII, began his efforts of bringing unity and the story of democracy to the Islands.
