One in this news magazine series co-anchored by Diane Sawyer and Sam Donaldson. This edition opens with the feature, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" about the corruptive presence of the U.S. military in Subic Bay, Philippines, and the destruction left after the withdrawal of the military. This segment exposes the military's promotion of prostitution, which became a major industry in the in the Subic Bay area, and the estimated 9,000 illegitimate Amerasian children born of the union of "bar girls" and military men. With the military gone, so is the industry that supported the women and their families, leaving them destitute and their children alienated because of their dual heritage and the taboo it represents. Interviewed in this segment are several ex-prostitutes looking for the men who fathered their children, military men who have fathered Filipino children and shirked their responsibilities, Amerasian children themselves, the spokesperson for a Filipino coalition that supports the local women, and an American lawyer who is suing the U.S. government to provide health care for these Amerasian children.
