SLSU joins the nation in commemorating Araw ng Kagitingan

The Araw ng Kagitingan or Day of Valor marks the greatness of Filipino fighters during World War II. Today, we commemorate their heroism to bring democracy and freedom to the country against the Japanese.

It was the late former President Corazon Aquino who signed Executive Order No. 203, dated June 30, 1987, proclaiming April 9 as “Araw Ng Kagitingan” to pay tribute to the heroes of Bataan, Corregidor and Bessang.
