Araw ng Kagitingan           The Battle of Bataan was fought by the United States and the Philippines Commonwealth against Japan during World War II.

It falls every 9 th of April, although in 2009, it was moved to the 6 th of April to avoid it clashing with Maundy Thursday. Araw ng Kagitingan was previously called Bataan Day, due to Bataan’s relevance in World War 2.
