      The Battle of Bataan and the Bataan Death March

 The Araw ng Kagitingan is the day of the Philippines’ final stand some time recently eventually being possessed by the Japanese amid World War 2. April 9 was named “Bataan Day” and declared a holiday after the Republic Act 3022 was passed by Congress in 1961. T The holiday was later renamed to “Araw ng Kagitingan” as part of the Executive Order No. 203 in 1987.In 1989, Proclamation 466 declared the week of April 5 to 11 as “Veterans Week” to honor all the veterans of the Philippine military, not just the ones who served during the Second World War.

Philippines was attacked by the Japanese forces, coming full circle within the fight and possible the fall of Bataan. This day moreover commemorates the notorious Death March wherein roughly 76,000 Filipino, American, and Chinese officers were constrained by the Japanese to walk 90 miles) from Bataan to Camp O’Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. The climb was a genuinely tiring one for the Filipino, American, and Chinese officers – thousands died due to starvation, lack of hydration, weariness, and mishandle from their captors.Bataan Death March | Definition, Date, Pictures, Facts, Survivors, & Significance | Britannica

 

 These are stories not fair of troopers in combat, but of conventional Filipinos doing exceptional achievements. However don't forget that valor isn't displayed as it were in times of genuine war. Some of the time, the risk is in times of peace — the battle less self-evident, the danger more treacherous.The Day of Valor is an opportunity for Filipinos today, and for Filipinos tomorrow, to remember moments of our past, of strength and courage against overwhelming odds, and to call upon that strength once more if need be.

Araw ng Kagitingan can never fair be approximately acts of boldness of those who have come and battled some time recently us. The call to valor is for each Filipino to know who we are, what we have been competent of within the past, what values we hold most expensive nowadays,  and what we must do to protect them always.

    12 th of June , year 1898 . In this significant date , our country , Philippines was able to free from the colonization of Spanish rule. It is indeed a date to celebrate and commemorate as after more than 300 years of being confined on our very own homeland , our flag was waved for the very first time by President Emilio Aguinaldo on Kawit , Cavite with the blue color on top of it which symbolizes peace and freedom of Filipinos.

The Philippines is the last Southeast Asian nation to receive a COVID-19 vaccine supply. But its better having one than having nothing. On this year, month of February , the first batch of vaccine arrived in our country. Some people are afraid on takingthe vaccines as there are side effect that can trigger their health and also the fear that the Dengvaxia incident that happened before might also happen again .
