Today is a holiday to commemorate Araw ng Kagitingan, usually celebrated on the 9th day of April. While we may just spend it to extend our Holy Week vacation by a day, it would be right to remember the bravery and the sacrifices of Filipino and American soldiers who fought in the war, specifically in the Battle of Bataan. It is an important part of our country’s struggle for freedom and independence.
What is obvious from our nation’s history and the story of our people is that patriotism, courage, and sacrifices are part of winning. We can’t have one without the other. If we do not learn how to sacrifice, to show courage in the face of difficulty, and to truly love our nation and our fellowmen, we may not achieve that which we dream of.
