For the third consecutive year, PVB partnered with the History Channel to present History Con 2018, dubbed as Manila’s biggest entertainment convention. This was held on August 10 to 12 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
Around 40,000 guests witnessed the PVB-sponsored exhibit of the “Battle of Manila,” which commemorated the month-long warfare wages on the streets of Manila from February 3 to March 3, 1945. Allied and guerilla forces slowly forced the Japanese army to retreat, liberating Manila from the clutches of the imperial army.
The highlight of the PVB exhibit was a replica of the Sherman tank that smashed through the Fort Santiago gate, reliving a famous scene from the battle that took place more than 70 years ago. Also retelling the story of the battle are photos, memorabilia, and artifacts that included machine guns, a mortar, helmets, period currency, as well as similar items on display for visitors.
