Vision
The immortalization of the heroics of young Filipinos who gallantly braved the onslaught of the enemies trampling our sacred shores in Bataan and Corregidor for love of Country, through forums, publications, museums, libraries, memoriam, anniversary celebrations and other such avenues that would inculcate into the minds of the present generations, the legacy of their forebears is the freedom they now so enjoy.
Mission
- To have a venue for Bataan and Corregidor survivors to meet frequently to constantly keep alive their common concerns as in the past.
- To keep track of living WWII veterans and their families with the end in view of being able to help them in any possible way when presented with problems the Association can alleviate.
- To facilitate claims/benefits with Philippine and/or US governments through their proper agencies.
- To be able to present the collective efforts of the WWII veterans to pursue from the National Government and/or any of its agencies mandated to attend to our member's legitimate needs.
