It is not difficult for me to go back in time and read World War 2 stories given the current pandemic situation we are in. I have always been intrigued on the creativity and resourcefulness of those who went through it, survived and lived to tell the tale. One person of significant interest for me is Maria Orosa.

She recently got into the news again because her grave marker was discovered accidentally while doing an archeological dig for a similar World War 2 casualty. Though she died in the line of duty, Orosa’s legacy is just starting to be discovered, especially at a more holistic level.
