00:00Eight years have passed since the Battle of Manila broke out on February 3, 1945 to shed

00:06light on new information, insights, and perspectives.

00:09This significant event, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines brought together

00:14representatives from the Philippines, United States, and Japan to engage in a conversation.

00:20Jana Panetta from Philippine Information Agency, National Capital Region, tells us more.

00:28In a historic occasion, representatives from the Philippines, Japan, and the United States

00:32gathered together to engage in a scholarly conversation 80 years after the Battle of

00:37Manila broke out in February 1945.

00:41This gathering took place at the international conference organized by the National Historical

00:45Commission of the Philippines in close collaboration with the Philippine World War II Memorial

00:49Foundation with the goal of providing a deeper understanding of war history beyond telling

00:54the nation's side of the story.

00:56The participants of the conference shared war memories in the context of history and

01:01researched the studies that mostly tackled the plight and bravery of Filipinos during

01:05the war.

01:06Generally speaking, we are not taught much about what happened in the Philippines 80

01:14years ago.

01:15So now I'm learning myself what happened because as a Japanese I feel it's really painful

01:30what our ancestors committed to the Filipino people.

01:37They must not forget what sacrifices the Filipino people made during the war.

01:45No one asked them to do it.

01:49They were not ordered by the Americans.

01:51They were not ordered by anybody.

01:54What they did was, it's really salaob, you know, the heart and the strength of the Filipinos.

02:07Commemoration, information, and cooperation.

02:11These were the important goals that were promoted through this conference towards shaping a

02:15more empowered nation and keeping the history alive.

02:18From the Philippine Information Agency, National Capital Region, Joanna Pineda, Balitang Pambansa.
