Martyr's Wall in Fort Santiago - Intramuros, Manila
While we were having fun taking photos in this area, we had no idea the dark secrets of what really happened during World War II.
According to Visit Fort Santiago website:
Wall with plaque dedicated to all who were tortured and incarcerated in Fort Santiago by the Japanese military during World War II.

Tortured and incarcerated by the Japanese military.
Now we know why the Japanese government were so sorry about their war atrocities in the past.
And I really appreciate the Japanese government and the people by doing that.
Also the reason why I love going to Japan because the people there are so polite and honest.
Anyway, here is a List of war apology statements issued by Japan according to Wikipedia:
This is a list of war apology statements issued by Japan regarding war crimes committed by the Empire of Japan during World War II. The statements were made at and after the end of World War II in Asia, from the 1950s to present day. Controversies remain to this day about war crimes of the past and the appropriate person to make the apology.

Back to our photos, this place was very quiet as we were the only people. But it's also a good place to have your wedding photos taken here. Imagining, you can wear Filipiniana dresses to feel the history of Intramuros.
