Snippet:
The events of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 take a special place in the joint annals of our countries. It was the Manila Bay where the legendary cruiser Aurora found salvation after the tragic battle of Tsushima. The Filipinos then showed genuine human compassion to the injured crew members that yet had unbroken spirit.
