Note on the Monument:
“This memorial is dedicated to all those innocent
victims of war. Many of whom went nameless and unknown to a common grave, or
never even knew a grave at all, their bodies having been consumed by fire or
crushed to dust beneath the rubble of ruins.
Let this monument be the gravestone for each and
every one of the over 100,100 men, women, children and infants killed in Manila
during its battle of liberation. February 3 – March 3, 1945. We have not
forgotten them, nor shall we ever forget.
May they rest in peace as part now of the sacred
ground of this city: The Manila of our affections.”
