Vae victis is Latin for “woe to the vanquished” or “woe to the conquered”. It means that those defeated in battle are entirely at the mercy of their conquerors and should not expect — or request — leniency.
The Latin phrase is the title of Chapter 57 in Jose Rizal’s Spanish-language novel Noli Me Tangere.
Vae victis can be translated into Tagalog as Magtiis ang nalupig.
