In partnership with the United States Embassy, Mayor Benjamin Magalong and other City Officials solemnly commemorated the 80th Victory Day on September 3, 2025, a Special Working Day honoring World War II veterans' heroism, bravery, and sacrifices.
This annual commemoration highlights the historic events of September 3, 1945, when Japanese Imperial Army General Tomoyuki Yamash*ta formally signed the Instrument of Surrender before ranking officials of the Allied Forces at Camp John Hay, Baguio City, an event that officially ended hostilities in the Philippines during World War II.
Now in its 80th year, Victory Day not only serves as a tribute to the courage and patriotism of Filipino and American soldiers who fought for freedom but also as a reminder of the importance of unity and resilience in safeguarding peace.
