Commemoration

 


Commemoration

Araw Ng Kagitingan”, also known as the Fall of Bataan in the World War II, is a day of reflection for all personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). One of the most or the most famous events in Philippines’ WW2 history.

The said event commemorates the heroism of Filipinos and American Soldiers when the Japanese occupied the Philippines during World War II. 9th of April 1942, when Luzon forces, surrendered to Japan with more than 76,000 of starving and disease-ridden troops. As captives, the soldiers were forced to endure the infamous 140-kilometre Bataan Death March to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. Along the way, thousands died due to famine, heat prostration, untreated wounds, and wanton or execution-style murder. This remains in the memories of the Filipinos especially the WW2 veterans that sacrificed their live to free our country from the Japanese Imperial.

As a part of Gen Z, I thank the WW2 veterans who fought for freedom of this country. Their sacrifice and contributions will be always remembered and their legacy will live on.
