context_page_description: Filipina Comfort Women was a statue publicly displayed along Baywalk, Roxas Boulevard in Manila. Unveiled on December 8, 2017 and installed through the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and other donors and foundations, it was dedicated to the Filipino "comfort women", who were coerced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.
  Since its installation in Manila it has garnered support from concerned groups, and criticism from government agencies. The statue was removed on April 27, 2018, which has received backlash. It has since been stored in the private studio of its artist, Jonas Roces, in Antipolo, Rizal.
context_section_description: The marker, entitled Memorare, was installed by the NHCP along with the statue. The marker text is written in Filipino.
