The massacre at Lipa, which occurred in December 1944 during World War II, primarily targeted the Filipino residents of the town of Lipa in Batangas, Philippines. The victims were predominantly civilians, including men, women, and children, who were caught in the violence perpetrated by Japanese Imperial forces.
The massacre was part of a broader campaign of terror against the Filipino population as the Japanese military sought to suppress resistance and retaliate against guerrilla activities in the area. Reports indicate that hundreds of people were killed, and many others were subjected to brutal treatment. The event is remembered as one of the tragic episodes of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.
