Araw ng Kagitingan (Filipino for "Day of Valor"), also known as Bataan Day or Bataan and Corregidor Day, is a national observance in the Philippines which commemorates the fall of Bataan during World War II. It falls on April 9.

Official instruments designating of this holiday have specified several different names.

On 1961, Congress passed Republic Act 3022 declaring April 9 of every year as Bataan Day.

On 1987, Executive Order 203 revised all national holidays in the Philippines, renaming the April 9 holiday into "Araw ng Kagitingan (Bataan and Corregidor Day)".

On 2007, Congress passed Republic Act No. 9492 putting into law the "Holiday Economics" policy of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo: this puts the observance of holidays except New Years Day and Christmas to the Monday nearest it.

During the administration of President Benigno Aquino III, all celebrations the holiday has been observed on April 9th and not on the Monday nearest it, and that the holiday has been called simply as "Araw ng Kagitingan".

History

At dawn on 9 April 1942, against the orders of Generals Douglas MacArthur and Jonathan Wainwright, the commander of the Luzon Force, Bataan, Major General Edward P. King, Jr. surrendered more than 76,000 starving and disease-ridden soldiers (67,000 Filipinos, 1,000 Chinese Filipinos, and 11,796 Americans) to Japanese troops.

The majority of these prisoners of war had their belongings confiscated before being forced to endure the infamous 140 kilometre (90 mile) Bataan Death March to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. En route, thousands died from dehydration, heat prostration, untreated wounds, and wanton execution while walking in deep dust over vehicle-broken Macadam roads, and crammed into rail cars for transport to captivity.

The few who were lucky enough to travel by truck to San Fernando, Pampanga would still have to endure more than 25 additional miles of marching. Prisoners were beaten randomly and often denied promised food and water. Those who fell behind were usually executed or left to die, the sides of the roads becoming littered with dead bodies and those moaning for help.

Only some 54,000 of the 76,000 prisoners reached their destination; the exact death toll is difficult to assess because thousands of captives were able to escape from their guards. Approximately 5,000-10,000 Filipino and 600-650 American prisoners-of-war died before they could reach Camp O'Donnell.

On this day, let us remember all those who came before us who died valiantly defending our country and those who survived and endured the ravages of World War II with heads held high.

Obamanomics = Rising Poverty

Here is a good example of media bias. Poverty in America has spiked to its highest levels since the 1960s. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that 20% of American children live at or below the poverty level. But yesterday the Associated Press spun this news as if it were a result of sequestration budget cuts! The whole story lamented how anti-poverty programs are facing potential cuts at a time of rising poverty.

But the reality is the exact opposite. This spike in poverty is coming at a time of record transfers of wealth. The Social Security program ran a $48 billion deficit last year in part because of a record number of Americans collecting disability benefits. Food stamp usage is also at a record high.

@_drewkoenig are you trying to say the reason they might want to start a war is because of the movie red dawn?

Fearing the battle was over,
and I’d already lost the war.
I was tired of trying and failing,
I just couldn’t fight any more.
So dragging my battle-scarred body
I crawled to the foot of the cross...
sobbing, “Please Father forgive me.
But, I tried, I tried hard, and still lost.”
Then the air grew silent around me.
I heard His voice as clear as the dawn.
“My child, though you’re tied and weary,
you can’t stop - you have to go on.”
You just can’t stop, you have to go on.

Cricket star Khan set for May elections
April 8, 2013 at 12:15 AM
ISLAMABAD, April 8 (UPI) -- Former international cricket star Imran Khan will contest a parliamentary seat in this year's Pakistani national elections.

The returning officer cleared the nomination papers of Khan, paving the way for the leader of the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf party to run in the May 11 elections.

The result of the polls will be similar to the outcome of the 1992 Cricket World Cup, Khan told reporters at Karachi Airport, a report by Dawn newspaper said. Khan, 60, played international cricket for 20 years and led Pakistan to the World Cup in 1992.

Khan, who also said the army will be needed at polling stations to ensure security, has been highly critical of the United States' use of drones over Pakistani territory in the war on terror.

He slammed the United States over its military drone strike in Waziristan in January that claimed more than a dozen lives, Dawn reported at the time.

Khan said that U.S. drone attacks are a violation of international law and also violate Pakistan's sovereignty tuning the country into a banana republic.

The acceptance of Khan as a candidate comes as former military dictator and returned exile Pervez Musharraf was barred from running as a candidate. Musharraf entered Pakistan March 24 after four years self-imposed exile in London and Dubai.

The former general is already on bail regarding existing legal cases with a further trial -- one for treason -- also a possibility.

Pakistan's Supreme Court accepted an application to charge Musharraf with treason, .

The application to the court was filed by Chaudhry Taufiq Asif, president of the Lahore High Court's Rawalpindi bench bar association, the Daily News reported.

"I have been informed by the Supreme Court that a three-member bench ... is going to hear my petition against Gen. Pervez Musharraf after three days," Asif said.

A treason trial would add trials Musharraf already is facing the possibility of several other trials and problems.

Musharraf, as head of his All Pakistan Muslim League Party, is challenging the returning officer's decision to disallow him from running in the election.

Only days after his return to Pakistan, the Sindh High Court extended Musharraf's bail for three weeks in consideration of pending cases against him.

Musharraf, 69, is facing three charges, including failing to provide sufficient security to stop the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in December 2007 while she was campaigning against him.

He also is wanted in connection with the death of Baluchistan tribal leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, 79, in August 2006. Bugti, a former Baluchistan province minister turned nationalist rebel, was killed when a shell exploded in his mountain cave headquarters.

The Bugti case surrounds the circumstance in which the government raid on his cave took place and how the shell exploded.
