    Wartime sexual slavery under Japanese occupation

    During the Japanese occupation, a military brothel or comfort station operated in Masbate. Women and girls were forcibly exploited, raped, brutalized, and in some cases killed. The episode is part of the province’s Second World War history and the broader record of Japanese military sexual slavery in the Philippines.
