 Pilar, Bataan — The Provincial Government of Bataan will lead the whole nation in the commemoration of the 72nd Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) on April 9, 2014 with this year’s theme: “Balik-Tanaw sa Sakripisyo ng Beterano, Gabay sa Landas ng Pagbabago” (Remembering the Veterans’ Sacrifices, Our Guide in Our Path Towards Change).

The annual event salutes the heroism and sacrifices of Filipino and American soldiers who fought the Japanese Imperial Army during the World War II particularly at the exact site of the battle in Mount Samat in Barangay Diwa, Pilar, Bataan known in history as the “Fall of Bataan.”
