  The Philippine national holiday Araw ng Kagitingan, commonly known as Bataan Day or Bataan and Corregidor Day, commemorates the fall of Bataan during World War II. It is celebrated on April 9, though in 2009 it was rescheduled to April 6 to avoid clashing with Maundy Thursday. The Japanese forced 76,000 captured Allied soldiers (Filipinos and Americans) to march 80 kilometers across the Bataan Peninsula during the Bataan Death March. During World War II, the march took place in April 1942. For three days, the Japanese denied the detainees food and water.

Those who did not fit had to march the entire distance to the camp. The march was six days long....

It is a time of preparation for Easter when we celebrate the Lord's Resurrection. We pray to the Lord by reading Sacred Scripture, serve by giving alms, and cultivate self-control by fasting during Lent. We are required not only to abstain from luxury during Lenten fasting, but also to abstain from luxury throughout the year.
