EVERY FILIPINO IS A HERO
Hero. The word says it all. That word alone makes me think of sporting figures, presidents, leaders of revolutions, and leaders of strikes and protests but NO.
I came from a land of ‘everyone is a hero’
not with superman nor batman but with a hero that fought with his pen,
with the heroes that can make things possible, with the hero that can show courage when faced with a problem, with the hero that saves someone who
is in danger, with the hero who is there to help others and gives them
strength to go on through life’s difficulties, with the hero that can
gave up his or her life so another could live. A heroes that I can call
Filipino.
↠↠↠ I, as a Filipino I admit that most of Filipino
have a lot of pride, seems to have all this pride in being Filipino which you
should be proud to be. I feel very proud to be one of them, more so during
tough times. I see a nation stepping up and doing what is necessary, we are put
to a test, yet we pick up the pieces together and stand up as one. In these
trials, we have shown the whole world our compassion, and our hope to survive.
Also our sense of humor, our ability to bounce back and our unwavering faith in
the Almighty. ↞↞↞
And of course, while we
are far from perfect, we are a culture that has much to be proud of. Yes, we
can produce a world boxing champion like Manny Pacquiao or a singing sensation
like Lea Salonga, and a beautiful with a heart Ms. Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach. However, more than these individuals, we have a
lots of core values that tie us as a nation. These traits are things that are
distinctly Filipino. They’re not just what make us different they are also what
make us remarkable.
