MANILA — An organization fighting for justice for Philippine wartime sexual slavery victims of the Japanese troops during World War II slammed Japan's remorseless to its cruelties and atrocities during the war.

"Lila Pilipina deplores (the Japanese government's) lack of genuine remorse for its wartime crimes against Filipino comfort women -- 79 years after the end of World War II," Lila Pilipina executive director Sharon Cabusao-Silva said.

"It is almost eight decades, yet the Japanese government has not only refused to act on its responsibility to heal the wounds it inflicted on Filipino women and the nation as a whole," Silva said, adding Japan "continues to deceptively claim that they have already apologized for these crimes to evade responsibility and to justify its war agenda in the country."

"Lila Pilipina" means League of Filipino Grandmother in Tagalog, a major language of the Philippines. The group also slammed the reciprocal access agreement signed last month by the Philippines and Japan.

"With the signing of the agreement, Japan, under the auspices of its senior partner, the United States, is reopening the country to the vulnerability of war," Silva said.

"Lila Pilipina condemns this connivance between the Japanese and Philippine governments," Silva said, adding that the US-Japan military alliance, with the approval of the government, "is turning the Philippines into a huge storehouse for all kinds of armaments and war materiel, the full scale of which will be virtually impossible for the public to know."
