SAHJID BULIG THE BOY HERO
On July 2, 1993, the Feast of Krus ng Wawa was celebrated in honor of
the Holy Cross. Hundreds of devotees joined the religious fluvial procession as
the town’s tradition. They were on board a decorated barge “PAGODA”.
As the town people celebrated the festivities, fireworks flamed in the
sky overwhelmed the joy of the viewers. One of the baby rockets (kwitis) fell
across the corner of the Pagoda barge where devotees stayed. All the people on
board panicked and were forced to move together on one side of the barge.
Overloaded capacity forces the barge to tilt. It collapsed and gradually sank to
the riverbed.
Knowing the incident, Sahjid Bulig, a thirteen-year-old boy rushed to
the shore and made a quick response. He jumped into the water to save a little
girl. He brought her ashore and left her safely. For the six times he swam back
and forth, he was able to save six small children.
On the seventh time of his rescue, the tip of the wooden cross of the
sinking Pagoda fell on him. He was unconscious and got drowned.
In the morning after the incident, Sahjid Bulig was found dead together
with more than 200 devotees. It was a day of mourning for the people of Bocaue.
For them, this little boy was a hero.
