Modern day heroes

Hero, four letters one word. A single word that will give everyone a fulfillment and proud
feeling. A single word that gave us a strong impression and positive praises. But how can
we be a hero? Being a hero is not always come along with the sword and blood, it also
comes with our mind and heart. We can be a hero even in the smallest things. We can be
heroes in many different ways and we should always choose to be a hero especially in
this time of the pandemic.

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW)

OFWs are the group of workers that choose to be far away in order for them to have a job
that can support their family. Some of them are domestic helpers. Being a slave in
another country is a very painful reality that hit most of us, imagine they are serving
another family but their own family here in our country is being left behind and they
stand at their own feet. Some of us envy those people who go abroad just to work, but the
truth is, it is never been easy to be alone in that place.

Frontliners (delivery riders, police, military, sweepers)

In this time of pandemic, where people are scared to go outside their comfort, front liners
are there to continue living. As delivery riders still continue to do their job just so people
will have convenience in buying what they need despite the fact that it brings anxious
feeling knowing that we didn't see who our enemy is. Police and military personnel are
also considered to be modern heroes as they are serving and providing safety and the
needs of every person in our community. And lastly the sweepers, they are also a hero
that maintains the cleanliness of our environment in the midst of the pandemic. This
group of people is brave enough to face the risk just to maintain the orderliness and
safeness of every person’s need in our community.

Healthcare workers

We have heroes who help us out to fight for our life even though they are risking their
own health each day passes. Nurses, doctors, and health workers in different fields seem
to be exhausted especially that the COVID 19 disease is continuously affecting our
households. Sometimes they are sleep-deprived and they are lacking rest just to serve
people’s life, instead of resting with their loved ones in their rest days, they choose to
face the risk to fulfill their passion and show how they love their job as well as the people
who need them.
On the day of national Heroes, we shall also praise our modern-day heroes as they are
also fighting their own battle to win in different situations. Our modern-day heroes are
very selfless to think about themselves they are only committed to how they can provide
and contribute to the betterment of everyone in the country. And most of all they are
ready to face death, just to help and save people’s life.
