War memorial, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines.

by planxty

Whilst walking between the Manila Cathedral and the San Augustin Cathedral in the Intramuros district of Manila, I came uopn this memorial in a small park just to the rear of the main Cathedral. It is quite difficult to convey the impact the Second World War had on the Philippines and it's people, but there are reminders everywhere. I am not sure whose work this is but I thought it was nicely done.

The inscription rather speaks for itself, and stands as a memorial to all those without proper graves who perished in the fierce fighting to liberate the city and the country.

Directions: Directly to the rear of Manila Cathedral in the Intramuros district.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
