Philippine War Crimes Commission

The Philippine War Crimes Commission is like a group of policemen who investigate and punish bad people who did very bad things during a war a long time ago.

During a war, many people are hurt, killed, and treated very badly. The Philippine War Crimes Commission was formed after World War II in the Philippines to find out who did these bad things and punish them.

The Commission was made up of important people, like judges and lawyers, who were very serious about making sure that the bad people who did bad things during the war would be held responsible for their actions.

They listened to people who were hurt during the war and looked at evidence to see who did what. They also tried to make sure that the bad things that happened during the war would never happen again.
