Bayan o Sarili?"
Is it really the question of our generation? Do we really need to choose between our country and ourselves? Do we really love our country that much that we will give up everything, even our lives?
What makes us Hero? What is hero, anyways?
> Is a hero some kind of superheroes with superpowers?
> Do we need to sacrifice ourselves just to be called a hero?
> Can we call ourselves hero?
We can call ourselves hero, in our daily lives we can act like a true hero. Heroic action involves a voluntarily service to people, taking risks, and Initiated without expecting anything in return, We don't need to die for our country just to be heroes, all we have to do is make our country a better place and cherish and re-live the freedom our hero gave us.
