It's National Heroes' Day in the Philippines.
Something I would have overlooked if not for some related posts in Twitter. Right now the Philippines is starving for heroes they can look up to - at least sensible heroes who fit the bill, and not some self-proclaimed hero who promises to liberate the poor and implement changes (e.g. corrupt politicians) but a hero who looks after the welfare of the land before self.
I can't think of anybody else aside from ex-Vice President Leni Robredo. She's such an inspiration to most Filipinos who have dreams of making our lives a better one. Although she has not won last presidential election, my hope did not die that maybe someday through her works and inspiration something good will come out of it all.
