Outside of Intramuros, the Japanese destroyed with the same cold calculation Spanish institutions belonging to the Sisters of Charity. In Looban Asylum, where the Japanese fired the convent, were more than a thousand refugees, mostly women and children. In Concordia College, there were more than 2,000 refugee-babies, orphans, and foundlings, sick people and the insane that had been transferred from the hospicio de San Jose. Did the Japanese give these helpless people a comparatively merciful death by shooting? They did not waste their ammunition on these women and children, the sick and insane. They closed the doors with chains, surrounded the building with machine guns to prevent anyone from leaving the premises alive, then set the building on fire.

A Japanese Beheading Party in the Provinces.
Men Dug their Own Graves and Knelt Before Them
In the first three weeks of February 1945, commencing with the liberation of Santo Tomas Camp, the Japanese began to burn and destroy, systematically, the churches, convents, and charitable institutions of Intramuros, the old "Wall City." They destroyed all of its most sacred and historic properties.
They reduced to a rubble heap the fine old Pontifical University of Santo Tomas, the greatest Catholic university in the Orient and the oldest under the American flag. Only the ruined walls are left of Manila Cathedral, the most beautiful church in the Far East. The Archbishop's Palace, hospitals, convents, schools, libraries were bombed and burned. The cultural monuments that made of Intramuros a miniature Rome have been obliterated.

On 7 February, on the southeast corner of Juan Luna and Moriones Streets, 49 mutilated bodies were found scattered on the grass, the pavement, and in ditches of water. Approximately one-third were babies or young children and about one-third were women. Most of the bodies were found with hands tied behind their backs. On the same day, the bodies of 115 men, women, and children were found on the grounds of the Dy-Pac Lumber Company, near the railroad station. The Japanese had shot and bayoneted these people and pushed their bodies into the ditches. Many adults and some older children were tied, while very small children had been killed without having been tied. The children were from two to twelve years old. Some of the women had been pregnant.

China would resort to all sorts of provocation to demonstrate its territorial claims vis-a-vis other countries, but always short of firing the first shot. Doing so would make them the instigators and the aggressors in a shooting conflict.

South Korea-Japan island row escalates - Australia Network News - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
A diplomatic row between South Korea and Japan over disputed islands in the Sea of Japan has escalated - with Seoul refusing to accept a formal protest letter from Japan.
A bitter dispute has flared between South Korea and Japan over a couple of volcanic islands controlled by Seoul but claimed by Tokyo.
Angered by a visit to the isolated outcrops by South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda sent him a letter which proposed taking the two countries' territorial dispute to the International Court of Justice.
But Seoul refused to accept it, sending a diplomat to Japan's foreign ministry in Tokyo to return the note.
Japanese Senior Vice Foreign Minister, Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi, says the diplomat was refused entry at the gate.
"From a broader perspective, we believe it would be best if we do not receive the letter," he said.
"So if (the purpose of the visit) was to return the letter, I feel it is better that we do not have a meeting."
South Korea has now announced it has posted the letter back by registered mail.
The United States has called on both countries to resolve their differences over the islands, known as Dokdo in Korea and Takeshima in Japan.
