By virtue of Proclamation No. 466 signed by former President Corazon Aquino in September 1989, Philippine Veterans Week is commemorated every April 5 to 11.

The event is aimed at promoting, preserving and memorializing the principles, ideals and deeds of Filipino war veterans.

This weeklong observance honors not only the Filipino war veterans who fought during World War II but also those who rendered honorable military service. —Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
