The survivors — now in their 80s and 90s — are still demanding justice.
Pilar Quilantang Galang was one of more than 100 girls and women raped by members of the Japanese Imperial Army in the village of Mapaniqui on Nov. 23, 1944. She was 9 years old at the time. Even now, in her 80s, when she sees the ruins of the “Red House” (at rear of photo), where the rapes happened, she says, “I feel like I’m losing my mind. I wish it would be destroyed.”
