81st anniversary of Battle of Manila marked
The city of Manila commemorated on Tuesday the 81st anniversary of the Battle of Manila. Fought from February 3 to March 3, 1945, the Battle of Manila marked the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation, where over 100,000 civilians lost their lives, and the city was left in ruins. The extent of destruction was compared to Warsaw, Poland, making Manila one of the most devastated cities of World War II. During the commemoration, a wreath-laying ceremony was held at St. Paul’s University led by Mayor Isko Moreno. Moreno highlighted the importance of remembering the past—not to reopen wounds, but as a guide for future generations towards learning. “From the ravage of war, Manila rose. Resilience is not forgetting the pain. It is choosing to rebuild, despite the pain,” he said.
