Gordon tells Filipinos to emulate Korean War Pinoy hero Yap
Manila Bulletin
|September 21, 2025
Former Senator Richard J. Gordon urged Filipinos to do their share in reclaiming the glory days of the Philippines being one of Asia's powerhouse in economy and military strength.
On the 75th anniversary of the Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea (PEFTOK), Gordon talked about the sacrifices made by Captain Conrado Yap and the thousands of Filipinos who fought in the Korean War which could serve as an inspiration for every Filipino to do more.
According to Gordon, Yap was only 30 when he gave his life at Yultong Pass and that ultimate sacrifice earned him major awards: the Philippine Medal of Valor, the U.S. Distinguished Service Cross, and in 2018 South Korea's Taegeuk Order of Military Merit.
