1) How does your community (school, town, country) select to remember World War II examples: holidays, memorials, songs movies books:

- Just a few blocks away from our school is the Quezon Memorial Circle dedicated to Manuel L. Quezon the President of our Country at the time of World War II his body is also buried under the memorial circle. He also has his special day, Manuel Quezon Day which is celebrated every August 19. There is also the statue of General Mcarthur in Leyte to commemorate his return to Philippine shores with reinforcements to help us drive out the Japanese from out country. We also have our National Heroes Day which we celebrate every last Monday of August.

2) Do you know anyone who was involved in some aspect of World War II if so what was the connection. Can you send a picture if possible

- There is one person who I know who was involved in World War II, that was my grandfather Bienvenido T. Miranda. He was a member of the guerilla which fought against the Japanese forces under the code name “Raul”. I don’t really know what was his specific role with the guerilla group but he still had even a small role in World War II, his picture is attached with this email.

3) Is there anything you would like to add. - NONE _

World War II Q#1 In the Philippines we remember World War II by the books of some authors wrote who they experienced. We also built memorials of the people who sacrificed their lives for our country the Philippines and for those who helped give peace and prosperity to our country. We also honor the people who sacrificed their lives by lowering our flag to its middle position while singing the national anthem instead of the regular days the flag is always raised to the top. Q#2 Unfortunately I don’t know anyone who is included in the WWII in some way. I’m really sorry because I didn’t have to share much. Q#3 I am very grateful of the people who sacrificed their lives for the Philippines. They gave their life for the safety from captivity of the Philippines. May God Bless them and may they experience paradise in their afterlife ^^. OVER AND OUT -Edward Daniel D.Veron I-BPC Claret School of Quezon City
