What The Day of Valor marks
The Day of Valor, officially known in Filipino as Araw ng Kagitingan, is a national observance in the Philippines that commemorates the fall of Bataan and the Battle of Corregidor against Japanese troops during World War II. The day is officially celebrated every April 9, marking the start of the Bataan Death March, although the date has been moved on several occasions to avoid coinciding with the observance of Holy Week in the country, particularly the Easter Triduum and Easter Sunday, such as in 2004, 2009, 2020, and 2023.
