__In school, we discuss different events in history in our AP (Araling Panlipunan / Social Studies) class. As first year students, we are taught events that happened during the World War II which were connected to the Philippines. But I think we will be taught more of World War II during our next years as High School students.__ __We also celebrate here in our country different dates which involved the World War II, like the Filipino-American Friendship Day that we celebrate during the 4th of July which marked the end of the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines.__

 * 1) **How does your community/school/town/country select to remember World War II?**

__I do know some people who were alive during that time like my grandparents, and they said that it was really hard for them to live comfortably during a brutal war between different countries with gun shots heard everywhere and choppers and jets flying above. They also shared stories when they needed to hide because they will get caught by the Japanese soldiers.__
