    Thank you for asking. This shrine is to commemorate the "climax of the Filipino Nation's glorious resistance against a foreign invader during the second world war." This is where General Tomoyuki Yamashita, the "commanding general of the 14th area of the Japanese imperial army, and his staff surrendered to representatives of joint Philippine-American forces in 1945, which event signified the final liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation."
