To instill their contribution to the country in the minds of the younger generation, DepEd – in cooperation with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) – conducted a virtual symposium on the significance and relevance of the 79th anniversary of Araw ng Kagitingan and Philippine Veterans Week.
In a statement issued Tuesday, April 20, DepEd said that the virtual symposium was hosted by its Region III office and Schools Division Office (SDO) of Bataan and Balanga.
“The annual commemoration aims to preserve and memorialize the principles, ideals, and deeds of our war veterans as a means to promote patriotism and love of country, especially among students,” DepEd said.
