Tarlac students to do ‘Death March’ for graduation

CAPAS, Tarlac: Grade 11 students in both private and public high schools here will have another requirement to comply with before graduation – to undergo a six-kilometer “Death March” to instill nationalism and patriotism.

Executive Order (EO) 8 requires the students to walk from the Death March marker in Barangay Santo Domingo to the Capas National Shrine in Barangay Cristo Rey, site of the former interment camp for Filipino and American soldiers who died in the hands of the Japanese during the Second World War.
