Draft 3 - Araw ng Kagitingan

Araw ng Kagitingan

    

    The Battle of Bataan was fought by the United States and the Philippines Commonwealth against Japan during World War II. The battle represented the most intense phase of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines during WW2.

    Araw ng Kagitingan, also known as Day of Valor is when we commemorate the Fall of Bataan to Japanese troops during the second World War. 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.
