Sinehan sa Konsulado Day 1, 19 August 2025 - Philippine Consulate General

Sinehan sa Konsulado Day 1, 19 August 2025

On the 80th Anniversary of the World War II and in commemoration of Philippine National Heroes Day, the Philippine Consulate General in New York is proud to present HONOR: The Legacy of Jose Abad Santos and Children of the War on Day 1 of Sinehan sa Konsulado.

In HONOR: The Legacy of Jose Abad Santos, his life story is weaved together through interviews with descendants, top World War 2 Philippine historians, official documents, and excerpts from articles written by Abad Santos’ son, Pepito, who was with his father through his last days.

Children of the War tracks down 7 survivors of the battle, all children and teenagers in 1945. Watch them recount their harrowing experiences as they saw their beloved city burned, and witnessed their friends and family murdered by the rampaging Japanese troops in the most brutal ways. Now, eight decades later, they have come to terms with the tragedy, but sometimes find themselves still haunted by the memories, as vivid as the atrocious days of 1945.

This screening is in partnership with Philippine World War II Memorial Foundation.

: 19 August 2025 (Tuesday)

: 6:00 PM & 7:30 PM

: Kalayaan Hall, Philippine Center, 556 5th Ave York, NY 10036
