Inspiration and Lesson from the Past

April 9th is traditionally connected with Bataan and Corregidor, and today we celebrate events that occurred 80 years ago. Today and tomorrow, Filipinos can reminisce on times of fortitude and courage in the face of adversity, and if required, call on that strength again. 


Thousands of ordinary Filipinos — with or without formal training who took up arms anyway, soldiers who had not surrendered or escaped, and civilians providing logistical, intelligence, and moral support — have shown their willingness, courage, and valour in continuing the fight against the occupation forces. 


Looking back on the events of the past, we can see that our heroism must extend beyond defending our shores from foreign invasion. These aren't simply battle stories; they're our stories, our history, and stories of Filipinos who have accomplished tremendous things.

The Araw ng Kagitingan commemorates not only Filipino war veterans who have perished or served the country, but also those who have served honourably in the military in times of war and peace. This is to express our gratitude for their efforts to protect our national security and preserve our sovereignty. 


Lastly, I wanted to salute all the people that are serving our country, especially to the people protecting and serving our country and the Filipino people.
