Mutiny 1924

Filipinos originally received about half the pay of an American. The pay was high enough that even simple soldiers could support a family. By 1921, the salary of a simple American soldier had been increased to $21 a month. Filipinos received only $8, since in 20 years only a 40¢ increase had taken place. 1924 it came to mutiny. As a ringleader, 15 defendants were tried. As leader of the mutiny Tomas Riveral received 20 years, Gregorio Magalit ten years. He was released in 1932. Three others received 10-15 years. The Judge Advocate General in Washington considered the sentences too severe and suggested that most of them be reinstated in the scouts. The local officers refused, but the five-year prison sentence in 2½-year service was reduced in one punishment unit. (Karl Hack, Tobias Rettig (Hrsg.): Colonial Armies in Southeast Asia.

Patronizing treatment by US soldiers

On the bases the families of the scouts lived in their own barrios. The troops were considered tidy, motivated and disciplined, but were treated with condescension. Sexually transmitted diseases and alcoholism were much rarer than among Americans, and the relationship with officers was generally good, although there was often a lack of language skills on both sides.(Karl Hack, Tobias Rettig (Hrsg.): Colonial Armies in Southeast Asia.
