The New Heroes for the Country and Family

Who is the real hero? What is the basis for us to say that he/she is a hero? Does he/she need to die for the country just to be called “HERO”?
Well, that is not just the basis, if you will look up around you, you can find the true heroes, the live heroes, just walking around you.
What am I talking about? Filipinas, they are the new generation heroes of our nation. Lots of Filipinas work hard for their families, lots of Filipinas flies everyday out of the country to be a DH (Domestic Helpers) or OCW (Overseas Contract Workers), or OFW (Overseas Filipina/Filipino Workers). They gamble their life, their happiness with their family and children, just to give them a good life that they cannot get here in our country. Why they have to go overseas if they can work here in the Philippines? Good question. But, difficult to answer, did you ever ask yourself about that?
Some of the Filipinas get the good job, good employer, but some are unfortunate, got beaten by their employers, raped, overworked with less payment and worst of all if your really unfortunate they went home cold and placed in the casket. Lots of eventual things like this happen for decades. Heroes they are called by our government, when they land “dead” in our airport, they pay tribute and do lots of things to help and show of for the family and people. But, come to think of it, have they done enough to help them when they are still alive?
Look at the news today, there are Filipinas and Filipinos who are in death row abroad, I know our government is doing something to help them, but, try hard and do your best to protect them.
A bow and head rose for the Filipinas, they give their life and death to help our country, they are the number one reason why our economy is growing, because of their love and care our life is a lot better now than before, because of their hard work and sacrifices lots of work opportunity are existing in our country.
I think its time to give them a real hero’s welcome.
