During the Japanese siege of Manila, young Juan Manito is fleeing to the hills with his mother and sister when a Japanese plane strafes them. His mother and sister are killed. Manito swears, "I'll make you rue this day, you heathen dog, with the red scarf!" He goes undercover with the Japanese, pretending to be a traitor, until he can direct the Japanese troops into an ambush and kill the pilot who killed his family. Manito then carries on the fight in guerrilla fashion. In addition to killing various Japanese, he teams up with Chicago Joe, a rum runner, to publish an underground paper.

* Filipino Kid first appeared in a story illustrated by Chu F. Hing, with an unknown writer. Hing is also the creator of the Green Turtle. Both characters depict resistance against the Japanese invasion of their respective territories.
* In the Grand Comics Database (GCD), the artwork for Filipino Kid was originally credited to Gerald Altman (who illustrated stories published in issues #8–10), however, later comparisons with pages from Green Turtle revealed strong stylistic similarities, leading to the conclusion that Hing was the actual artist. Hing did not continue working on the series. Pulp researcher Jess Nevins later attributed the creation of Filipino Kid to Marv Levy, but Levy is only confirmed as the author of a only story published in issue #7.
