Hero

There are a lot of heroes nowadays. Heroes in movies, in books and in real life. For me, I could define a hero for his/her great contribution to a society. My hero is Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino. Why? because he offer his life to the Filipino people to restore back the democracy in our country. I couldn't forget the saying of Ninoy which is "Filipinos are worth dying for".

I can't forget him whenever I could hear the word "hero" for we have the same Birthdate - Nov.27 and his death anniversary was my mother's birthdate - Aug.21, and my nickname is "Benigno". Besides, he has done so much to our country by being the biggest critic to the dictatorial government of Marcos. He even sacrifice, for his family's safety was at stake that time. Eventhough, he was warned not to return to the Philippines, he still went home. Ninoy died offering his life to us for we are worth dying for.
