===Relationship with other guerrillas=== The Hukhbalahap's methods were often portrayed by other guerrilla leaders as terrorist; for example, [[Ray C. Hunt|Ray Hunt]], an American who led his own band of 3,000 guerrillas, said of the Hukbalahap that<ref>{{cite book|last=Breuer |first=William B. |title=The Great Raid: Rescuing the Doomed Ghosts of Bataan and Corregidor |publisher=[[John Wiley & Sons]], Inc. |date=2002}}</ref> <blockquote>My experiences with the Huks were always unpleasant. Those I knew were much better assassins than soldiers. Tightly disciplined and led by fanatics, they murdered some Filipino landlords and drove others off to the comparative safety of Manila. They were not above plundering and torturing ordinary Filipinos, and they were treacherous enemies of all other guerrillas (on Luzon).</blockquote> However, the Hukbalahap claimed that it extended its [[guerrilla warfare]] campaign for over a decade merely in search of recognition as World War II freedom fighters and former American and Filipino allies who deserved a share of war reparations.
