Camp Lapulapu, Cebu City – As the entire Filipino nation honors the heroism of its forebears in commemoration of Araw ng Kagitingan, the Visayas Command (VISCOM) calls for unity and solidarity amidst the ongoing challenges in the Visayas region.

“With our celebration, we hope to highlight the sacrifices of our forebears for us to draw strength from their indomitable spirit as we face new challenges and uncertainties. Let us emulate their courage, resilience, and determination in confronting any eventualities. Let us honor their legacy by fostering unity and solidarity within our communities,” this were the words of Commodore Oscar D Canlas, Jr., the Acting Commander of VISCOM during a short program in SM Seaside City.

VISCOM celebrates the Araw ng Kagitingan or Day of Valor with a Photo and Static Display and Exhibit held at the SM Seaside City Cebu. Mall shoppers and by-passers alike were treated with free exhibit viewing and free photos wearing our soldiers’ combat gears and equipments, he said.


With the said event, VISCOM not only aims to honor the veterans who fought for the liberation of Cebu during World War II but also our modern day heroes who continue to selflessly serve and safeguard the country’s national interest. Likewise, VISCOM also aims to instill the values of nationalism and love of country to the people in the Visayas region, he added.

Canlas concluded as he urged the people to uphold the principles of democracy, justice and equality: “Let us reaffirm our commitment in upholding the values of freedom and justice for which our heroes fought so valiantly. Together with your Armed Forces of the Philippines, let us strive to build a nation where the principles of democracy, justice and equality are upheld and cherished by all.”
