# Korea: Nasa Pagtangkilik ng Nagkakaisang Bansa! (Korea: Under the Protection of the United Nations!) (Tagalog poster distributed in the Philippines or Asia)

A Tagalog-language sheet on the Korean War. A map of Korea carries a red octopus labelled 'Communist oppression' gripping the north, a United Nations sword and emblem, and a photograph of captured prisoners beside a ten-point account of the UN response. The tell is transfer, the octopus attaching a stigma image to one side, together with card-stacking: the account lists UN actions and omits any other party's view.

MGA KOMUNISTANG BIHAG NG HUKBO NG NAGKAKAISANG BANSA
1. NOONG IKA-25 ng Hunyo, walang kaabug-abog na sinalakay ng mabuting nasasandatahang mga Komunistang buhat sa Hilaga ang Republika ng Korea sa hangaring sakupin ang malayang bansa.
2. KAPAGDAKA'Y NANAWAGAN ang Sangguniang sa Kapanatagan ng Nagkakaisang Bansa sa kagyat na paghihinto ng labanan sapagka't ito'y isang pagbabanta sa kapayapaan ng daigdig.
3. NIWALANG-BAHALA ng mga Komunista ang panawagan ng Sangguniang sa Kapanatagan at sa halip ay ipinagpatuloy nila ang marahas na pananalakay, at ipinangalandakang masasakop nila agad ang malayang Republika.
4. SA GAYO'Y HUMINGI ng tulong ang Sangguniang sa Kapanatagan sa mga kaanib ng Nagkakaisang Bansa sa pakikihamok ng malayang Republika laban sa pananalakay ng Komunista.
5. KINATIGAN ang Republika ng Korea ng 53 sa kabuuan nitong 59 na mga kaanib sa Nagkakaisang Bansa sa pagtatanggol ng malayang bansa laban sa pananalakay, at upang mapanatili ang kapayapaan ng daigdig.
6. NAKUHANG MABILIS na naihanda at mapagsama-sama ang mga hukbo Nagkakaisang Bansa sa loob ng 12 linggo lamang at mahadlangan ang paglusob ng mga Komunista.
7. NANG UNA'Y NAITABOY ng mga Komunista ang mga hukbo ng Republika ng Korea at unang hukbo ng Nagkakaisang Bansa hanggang sa may dulong Timog ng Republika ng Korea. Nanangan sila roon sa isang munting tanggulan habang nagtitipon ng lakas ang Nagkakaisang Bansa.
8. NATIPON AT NAILAGAY sa isang katayuang handa ang mga hukbo ng Nagkakaisang Bansa buhat sa lahat ng panig ng daigdig sa loob lamang ng 12 linggo.
9. LUMUNSAD SILA sa Inchon, sa dakong Kanlurang Baybayin, at madaling sinakop uli ang Seoul, kabisera ng Republika ng Korea. Ang naging bunga nito'y pagkakakulong ng mga hukbo ng Komunista sa Timog.
10. ANG GINAWANG HAKBANG ng 53 sa kabuuan nito'y 59 mga bansang kaanib ng Nagkakaisang Bansa sa karakarakang pagsasanib nito upang makihamok sa pananalakay ng Komunista, at upang manangan sa katarungan at batas, ay nagdulot ng malaking pag-asa sa mga tao ng daigdig. Nakita nila ang kapangyarihang isinasagawa ng Nagkakaisang Bansa!

KOREA: UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS!
REFERENCE MAP
COMMUNIST OPPRESSION
UNITED NATIONS
[map labels: place names and English labels as listed above]
COMMUNIST PRISONERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS ARMY
1. On the 25th of June, well-armed Communists from the North suddenly attacked the Republic of Korea with the aim of seizing the free nation.
2. Immediately the United Nations Security Council called for an immediate halt to the fighting because it is a threat to world peace.
3. The Communists disregarded the Security Council's call and instead continued the violent attack, and boasted that they would soon take the free Republic.
4. Therefore the Security Council asked the members of the United Nations for help in the free Republic's fight against the Communist aggression.
5. The Republic of Korea was supported by 53 of the 59 members of the United Nations in defending the free nation against aggression and in maintaining world peace.
6. The United Nations forces were quickly prepared and brought together within only 12 weeks and the Communist advance was halted.
7. At first the Communists drove back the forces of the Republic of Korea and the first United Nations forces to the southern tip of the Republic of Korea. They held there in a small stronghold while the United Nations gathered strength.
8. The United Nations forces from all parts of the world were gathered and placed in readiness within only 12 weeks.
9. They landed at Inchon, on the West Coast, and quickly retook Seoul, capital of the Republic of Korea. The result was that the Communist forces were trapped in the South.
10. The action taken by 53 of the 59 member nations of the United Nations, in joining at once to fight the Communist aggression and to stand for justice and law, gave great hope to the peoples of the world. They saw the power exercised by the United Nations!
