MANILA (Kyodo) A Filipino man who found a collection of Japanese photographs in an old abandoned house in the northern Philippines that was used by the Japanese military during World War II wants to return them to their rightful owners.
An album containing more than two dozen photos was found tucked between a post and a wall of the two-story wooden house in Basug, a village in Santa Town, Ilocos Sur Province, in the northwestern part of Luzon Island.
"I want to track the owner down," said architect Rey Florentino, 52, who found the 15-page album seven years ago.
