Veterans Bank Mounts War of Our Fathers Exhibit to Commemorate 78th Battle for Manila Anniversary
Philippine Veterans Bank continues to honor the legacy of our Filipino World War II veterans with the installation of its multi-awarded traveling exhibit at the Manila City Hall as part of the City of Manila’s commemoration activities for the 78th Anniversary of the Battle for Manila.
The PVB Traveling Exhibit features photos, images, memorabilia, and brief narratives about World War II in the Philippines. It is also a tribute to the bravery, patriotism, and resolve of the Filipino men and women who fought and died for freedom as well as those who survived one of the darkest chapters of our nation’s history.
In time for the anniversary of the Battle for Manila, the War of Our Fathers exhibit features panels depicting World War II in the City of Manila, including scenes and narratives during the month-long Battle for Manila from February to March of 1945.
The Exhibit was formally opened to the public last February 3, 2023 by Manila Mayor Maria Sheilah H. Lacuna along with PVB Chairman Roberto De Ocampo, OBE, and PVB President Renato A. Claravall, along with other city & PVB officials, heads of the Diplomatic Corps, and other guests.
