Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - A compilation of articles on the Columban fathers, mainly in Malate, but also in a few other locations outside the Philippines, a couple of historical accounts (excerpts of works by Carlos Quirino and Pedro Picornell on Malate and the Remedios Hospital in 1945, respectively), personal accounts and memories of some of the notable Columban priests in Malate and the Philippines. The focus is on the martyrdom of the Columban fathers in their attempts to save the people of Malate during the battle for Manila in 1945, when the Japanese massacred civilians and American shellfire killed others. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
