🌵 Bahay na Pula

The Bahay na Pula is a former hacienda in San Ildefonso, Bulacan in the Philippines. The site is remembered for the mass rapes and murders committed there by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The Japanese military murdered all of the men and boys in the adjacent village of Mapaniqui, Candaba, Pampanga, and forced over 100 women and girls into sexual slavery, confining and raping them in the house. It was partially demolished in 2016 for unknown reasons. There are calls by activists to preserve it as a memorial to the victims of Japanese atrocities during the occupation of the Philippines.
