House Speaker Martin Romualdez hails the Filipinos' fortitude amid the Covid-19 pandemic in his message for Araw ng Kagitingan on April 9, 2023.
Romualdez, Leyte's 1st district congressman, highlighted this as part of his message for Araw ng Kagitingan on Sunday, April 9. Covid-19 emerged in the country in early 2020. What followed were nearly two years worth of stringent lockdowns that devastated the local economy, leaving the livelihoods of thousands in shambles.“This day is a testament to Filipino courage and bravery, a fighting spirit that comes to the fore as we face adversity after adversity," the House leader said of Araw ng Kagitingan.
Araw ng Kagitingan is a regular holiday celebrated every April 9 by virtue of Executive Order No. 203, s. 1987 to remember the fall of Bataan to Japanese troops on April 9, 1942.
