This surrender led to the Bataan Death March\, a forced 100-kilometer march from Bataan to prison camps in Capas\, Tarlac. During the march\, thousands died due to starvation\, exhaustion\, disease\, and brutal treatment by Japanese captors. \nThe defenders of Bataan and Corregidor became enduring symbols of bravery\, sacrifice\, and resilience. In 1942\, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt praised the Filipino and American defenders for their courage\, calling them heroes of democracy. \nAfter the war\, the Philippines sought to officially honor the sacrifices of WWII soldiers. In 1961\, President Diosdado Macapagal declared April 9 as Bataan Day. \nIt was later renamed Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) to highlight the gallantry not just of those in Bataan but of all Filipino veterans who defended the country.
