The Day For Heroes
By Justin Gumahad
Today, this August 31, 2020, is our "National Heroes' Day" that commemorates the bravery of the Filipinos who served the country. The term "Hero," today, is a broad term that gives limelight from Filipinos on the era of Spanish colonialism up to working citizens of the country both from the vicinity and beyond waters. This day signifies and gives recognition to people that made a mark in our country, most especially our frontliners who put their other foot to the grave just to ease the pandemic.
Essentially, this is the only day where we can give gratitude and recognize their selfless deeds and sacrifices to the people and our country. Our big "KUDOS" to the people in the healthcare department โ specifically the nurses, medical technologists, doctors, radiologic technologists, medical scientists; the rule enforcers โ policemen, guards, and armies.
When heroes have fallen, there shall be always the ones who will continue their legacy. Our time is completely different from the past. We may not use bolo to fight for our country, or even shed blood, the power still to influence is powerful by a simple click with the help of modern technology. This goes on forever, the revolution that is. Our current heroes and future heroes, thank you and you shall live forever!
