The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) joins the nation in honoring the men and women who laid down their lives during the Fall of Bataan, and celebrating the gallantry, resilience, and selflessness of our Filipino soldiers.
As we commemorate the bravery of our soldiers during one of the darkest chapters of our peopleโs history, the Day of Valor also calls us to reflect on the challenges our nation is currently facing. The lessons of courage, resilience, and sacrifice of our past and present-day heroes are a source of inspiration at a time when armed conflicts have erupted in different parts of the globe.
We are humbled to say that the Philippines has emerged as a beacon of hope during these trying times. With our countryโs enduring commitment to fostering lasting peace and inclusive development, our nationโs comprehensive peace process has evolved and shifted its focus from ending armed conflicts to effectively addressing its root causes and transforming the lives of former combatants, their families and communities.
As we celebrate this yearโs Day of Valor, may we all embody the spirit of heroism of our forebears, as we champion peace, mutual understanding, and solidarity in our families and communities. Hand in hand, let us work together to build a peaceful, harmonious and prosperous nation for future generations of Filipinos.
Maligayang Araw ng Kagitingan! Mabuhay ang mga Bayaning Pilipino!
