Araw ng Kagitingan

Araw ng Kagitingan, or Day of Valor, commemorates the bravery of Filipino and Allied soldiers during World War II, especially those who fought in Bataan and endured the Bataan Death March. It is a regular holiday with a strong historical and civic meaning.

The day is often marked by remembrance ceremonies, history lessons, and tributes to veterans. For everyday planning, it can become a valuable break when it falls near a weekend, but its deeper meaning is about courage, sacrifice, and national memory.
