Japanese Intelligence Couldn't Believe the Manila Spy Network Was Led by a Woman

In 1942, the Japanese believed resistance in Manila was finished. They were wrong. Josefa Llanes Escoda was not a soldier. She was a civic leader. A social worker. The founder of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines. And she built one of the most effective resistance networks under Japanese occupation. Her network smuggled medicine and food to Allied POWs dying in Camp O’Donnell. It gathered intelligence on Japanese troop movements, ships, and fortifications. It rescued officers from Fort Santiago. It fed information directly into the liberation of Manila. The Kempeitai hunted her. They interrogated her. They tortured her. They executed her. She gave them nothing. This is the true World War II story of Josefa Llanes Escoda — the woman who outwitted Japanese military intelligence for three years and died protecting her resistance network. Her body was never found. Her impact was decisive.
