Here's my message for year's commemoration of the Fall of Bataan a.k.a. Day of Valor or Araw ng Kagitingan.
This year's commemoration is relevant because of the two wars that is raging up until this day -- Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Israel's war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
I really believe that wars begin with a madman who, for some reasons, gained the support of his country's population even though his plan is pure evil. Remember the expansionist plan of the Emperor of Japan? His countrymen, believing he's the descendant of a Japanese god or something, supported his war.
Same goes with Hitler. I can't believe that his idea of annihilating the Jewish population was supported by the majority of Germans at that time.
Fast forward today. People are still supporting madmen -- like Putin, in his dream of conquering Ukraine, and the Ayatollah's of Iran, in their chants of "Death to Israel". I guess we really don't learn from history, who repeats itself.
