Liveblogging World War II: February 12, 1945: Manila
Shown during Animo Night 2005, this video is about the February 12, 1945 massacre (of Br Egbert Xavier FSC and 15 other Christian Brothers; members of the Carlos, Cojuangco, Aquino, Uychuico and Vazquez Prada families; and employees of De La Salle College) at the Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament. A band of Japanese soldiers massacred the 16 Brothers and the several families who had taken refuge with them in the College Chapel.
The 'I'll Be Seeing You' soundtrack (by Vera Lynn) on this clip was for editing and timing guide purposes only. DLSU alumna Cooky Chua sang the piece during the actual performance (November 18, 2005) with Mel Villena on the saxophone.
