On this day, April 9 or Day of Valor (Araw ng Kagitingan), we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those Filipino and American soldiers who fought for our freedom during the Battle of Bataan in 1942. This significant event during World War II, signifies our undying patriotism for our beloved country.

Dominicans, may this serve as an inspiration to us in striving for a better future by upholding the values of resilience and unity. Let us show our bravery and love for our country in our own ways.
