                    [Summary] => Last February 4, a columnist of the Philippine Free Press Benito J. Legarda Jr. wrote: "Never in Philippine history had there been a month so full of death and destruction as February 1945. We pray that never again will there be such a month." His column was on the American liberation of Manila from the Japanese forces when 100,000 innocent Filipino civilians, 16,000 Japanese defenders and 1,000 Americans died. That very same day, the Philsports Arena (formerly known as Ultra) stampede took place leaving 74 people dead and 600 others injured.
