IN honor of their extraordinary courage and dedication when they fought for liberty in the Philippines during World War 2, names of the 14 Czechoslovak heroes are now inscribed on the Czech marker at the Capas National Shrine in Tarlac.
Assistant Secretary Antonio Bautista of the Department of National Defense, Commissioner Lino Dizon of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, Governor Susan Yap of Tarlac, Mayor Roseller Rodriguez of the Municipality of Capas, and Col. Agerico Amagna from the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office graced the event. Partners from the diplomatic community and Veterans Federation of the Philippines members also attended the unveiling ceremony.
For her part, Yap said that the province of Tarlac is “honored and privileged to serve as [the Czech marker’s] home,” as she hoped that it may “serve as a lasting reminder of our shared history.” In his closing, Bautista honored Bataans’ Czech defenders, as he stressed the fundamental values of liberty and freedom shared between the Czech Republic and the Philippines. He expressed his optimism for more meaningful engagements between the two countries, especially in the areas of defense industry and logistics.
