I Salute To All of You

There were many heroes now in the Philippines that really were honest, brave and they can even use their life just to save other people. Let's start.

First was Aris Canoy Espinosa, a 13 year old young man which he saved his friends. It happened on January 30, 1994 and a grenade was seen by him that dropped near their place and was about to explode. What he did was that he covers the grenade with his own body just to save his friends. He really sacrificed a lot for no one can say that life is just comparable to other things for it was not.

Next was Chrisanta Saboc a four year old girl and a tragedy happened last July 5, 1996. She saved the life of her three year old sister and two year old brother from fire and their parents were at their work. After saving the two, her other sister, infant, was left and she was about to save her but the neighbors stop her already. She cried with that incident because her sister, who was just an infant, died and without seeing the nature of our country.

Another was Enteng Tagle and an article was seen on September 2002 issue of Reader's Digest. He was ten years old and he was known for he saved his one year old brother and ten years old playmate on July 12, 2000. Nearly 500 garbage scavengers who were living literally at the Payatas dumpsite in Quezon City were buried alive under tons of garbage when a 50-foot garbage mountain collapsed on their makeshift houses at the height of torrential rains. He was really a hero.

These are just few heroes in our country. They were really brave for some of them used their lives for the sake of others. I really admire them and I was inspired at there story regarding those happenings.
