Soul Waves
추도와 평화 기원의 탑

A stainless steel Memorial Sculpture representing all souls of humanity united in their cause for freedom.

Korean families and visitors who lost their loved ones during World War II and after can offer prayers at Soul Waves.

The Sculptural Waves symbolize Korea and Philippines' sacred shores which we protected against all forms of oppression. For indeed, our common sacred shore is our love for freedom.

Both "Soul Waves and the Filipino·Korean Soldier Monument" were erected side by side to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relationship between the Philippines and Korea as well as to symbolize joint efforts to protect freedom at all cost.

이 탑은 제2차 세계대전 때 일제에 의하여 필리핀 지역에 강제동원되어 희생된 한국인을 추모하고자 세워졌습니다.

이에, 한국인 희생자들의 넋을 위로함과 동시에 한국과 필리핀 양국의 우호 증진에 기여하고자 필리핀 국립 리잘 공원 당국의 지원하에 대한민국 정부와 한·비 수교 60주년 기념위원회에서 공동으로 건립하였습니다.
