The UP Asian Center joins the Filipino people in observing the 84th Araw ng Kagitingan. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿซก

On this day of valor, we remember the courage and sacrifice of Filipino soldiers who stood in defense of the nation. As we commemorate the Araw ng Kagitingan, we are called not only to honor the past, but also to carry forward the values of resilience, unity, and service in shaping the future of the Philippines.

For this yearโ€™s observance, we feature the solemn image of the Mount Samat National Shrine, a lasting symbol of remembrance and national pride.
