In his message during the virtual commemoration of the 79th Araw ng Kagitingan, Charge d’ Affaires John Law saluted the Filipino and American soldiers who fought and sacrificed during the battle of Bataan and to all those civilians who risked their own safety to comfort and assist them.
"Today for reasons we all understand, we’ve gathered virtually in the face of a new type of challenge. But though we are not there in person, we are there in spirit,” Law conveyed.
"And even as we face the trials and circumstances created by the pandemic, we still draw strength and inspiration from the experiences and examples of those brave men and women," he furthered.
