This photo taken in the 1950s shows the white cross marking the final resting place of the victims during the Second World War found inside the dungeons of Fort Santiago.
Approximately 600 decomposing corpses were discovered in the dungeons by the liberation forces of the United States and were buried en-mass under a white marble cross that we see today.
Let us take a moment to offer prayers for the souls of the victims as we observe All Souls’ Day.

This photo taken between 1911-1913 shows the Puerta de Santa Lucia, one of the original gates of Intramuros.
The Puerta de Santa Lucia was built in 1603, providing access to the Manila Bay and the seaside promenade or Malecon Drive. The gate was expanded in 1781 including the addition of two side chambers. Carriages and strollers would pass through the gate to spend the afternoon strolling at the Paseo de Luneta.
Although the gate survived the Battle of Manila in 1945, it was bulldozed by American forces right after the battle to allow the entry of their vehicles into the walled city.
The side chambers were restored in 1968 and the entire gate was eventually rebuilt in 1982 by the Intramuros Administration.
Today, it houses the Intramuros Health Center operated by the Manila Health Department (MHD).

This image from 1941 shows the grand procession of the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary La Naval de Manila in Old Intramuros. The procession is once known as the “Procession of All Processions”, and is the grandest in Old Manila.
The first procession was held in October 1646 in Intramuros to commemorate the Spanish victory in the Battle of La Naval de Manila.
Today, the grand procession is held every second Sunday of October in Quezon City where the shrine and the image relocated after the Second World War.
