Sorry if this reply is a bit late but I finally tracked down a number. An estimated total of 250,000 Filipinos served under US military command during World War II, based on the Missouri List. Of this number, roughly 18,000 are still alive today with 6,000 living in the US and 12,000 in the Philippines. This data was released during the recent hearing in the US Senate on the Veterans Benefits Enhancement Bill.
