Real-Life Superheroes

Today, August 29, the Philippines celebrates National Heroes Day. I think it is a day to commemorate the great and amazing people from history who fought and died for the independence and sovereignty of the Philippines from its colonizers. The nation recognized them as heroes, and we dedicate this day to remember their patriotism and bravery for the country.

However, people on social media have other things in mind for today. I have seen postings about their moms and dads as heroes for them, some are their grandparents, husbands or wives, the frontliners, teachers, breadwinners, etc. While having my lunch break today, my colleagues in the cafeteria are watching “It’s Showtime” and the main cast talked about the heroes in their lives, and it's touching to see them teary-eyed while sharing their story. Indeed, real-life heroes can be anyone and everywhere. With our day-to-day lives, we actually failed to realize that they’ve been heroes and/ or we’ve been heroes too in someone’s life. 

While reading some messages on Facebook, this song from “The Script” popped up in my mind. So apt for today’s National Heroes Day because it’s an anthem for real-life superheroes. You can click play and enjoy the music while reading this article here. Mind you, I love how this band created this music video, they just set a stage and perform for the people in this village. So thoughtful and down-to-earth.

I love this song and the message is wonderful too. I’m in tears while watching this music video for the first time because poverty is real and a big problem everywhere in the world. But, apparently, poverty is not a hindrance for some hardworking and dedicated people to push harder, dream bigger or just to make things meet. Moreover, for a father like him in the video, who worked so hard and mindless of the kind of environment he was in and the kind of job he has, he is a superhero. 

It is also heartwarming to see the smile and happiness of his young daughter in the video when he met him on the bridge, you can really feel that tangible joy of seeing the superhero of her life- his father. And, watching the father carry her daughter on his shoulders made me realize that superheroes never grow tired.

Superheroes, they sacrificed their lives for others, for their family, their friends, for their nation. One day, they will be gone, but never forgotten. Cheers to our real-life heroes!

Oh this song, I only heard this today. And Superheroes can be anyone talaga. Di na need ng super power tobe called one. Even those struggling in life na kahit anong problema ang batuhan sa kanila they will still continue their life para sa family nila. Nakakatuwa lang 🥰. Salute to our very own super heroes 💪🤩

sabi nga ng nanay ni Narda, 'Ang pinakamalaking kasalanan ay kapag may kakayahan kang tumulong pero wala ka namang ginawa'. I believe we are our own heroes in little ways.

I agree with you that anyone can be a hero at anytime, at any situation. Thanks to our real-life heroes, who gives us inspiration. Thanks for your life as a new time hero for taking care of your patients and for loving them.

Sobrang nakakaiyak ma'am lyca. 🥺 Napaka emotional. A superhero indeed. Marami pa talagang superhero until now. Yung mga parents natin ma'am lyca. Their sacrifices para mabigyan tayo ng magandang kinabukasan.
