Executed by the Japanese
On February 12, 1945, a Japanese military officer along with 20 soldiers forcibly made their way into the De La Salle college, which was then a refuge for 70 people, including 30 women and young girls, 16 De La Salle Christian Brothers and the college's chaplain-Redemptorist Father Cosgrave CSSR (an Australian), and the adult men of two families. The then De La Salle College Director-Brother Egbert Xavier FSC (an Irishman) was about two days earlier forcibly taken by a group of Japanese soldiers and was never seen again. The Japanese soldiers herded these people into the school chapel where they were subsequently shot, slashed, or bayoneted. Those who did not die in the attack would be later be left to bleed to death and the Japanese attempted to violate the women who were dying from their wounds. The chapel was then set on fire by the Japanese but since it was built of marble and concrete it was not destroyed. Only ten of the victims survived amongst them only one De La Salle Brother. In the present day, there are supernatural stories about the chapel that is known to all students and employees of De La Salle University, some say that when the Japenese killed all the refugees, there was a flood of blood inside the chapel and the depth of it is marked by red paints on the wall, and at night, there are stories about the ceiling, turning red that is why it is repainted.
