Seventy-five years ago today, the Japanese Empire accepted the demands of the Potsdam Declaration, which meant the unconditional surrender of Japan to the Allied Forces.


Though the war did not officially end until the signing of the Terms of Surrender one fortnight later, there was widespread jubilation across many nations, Philippines included (a commonwealth of the United States at that time). Soldiers need not to face more vicious battles anymore. Lasting peace is finally in sight!
