A Walk with a Hero

Most of the people think that a hero are the ones who fight physically to save a ones country or anything that are harmed. But not all heroes are born to fight. During the great battle between the Filipinos and Spaniards, many katipuneros hurt physically and during that time there are no doctors with the modern technology like what we have in this generation. This hero helped the Filipinos who fight for our country. She helped the cured their sickness. She prepared their foods and other things that they nedd for the battle. This hero was named Melchora Aquino also known as Tandang Sora. Despite of her age she was able to helped a lot in the battle not physically but carefully. If  I was given a chance to meet her, there are a lot of things that I want to say and I want to ask.

It is one afternoon, I just saw myself in a bahay-kubo. I saw an old lady preparing some food. And yes it is Tandang Sora. She talked to me and asked me if I’m okay and yes I’m okay because I saw her. She asked to breathe some fresh air outside so we went outside. She let me saw the places that the battle destroyed. I thought everything was peaceful when I saw their place but it’s not when I saw the destroyed houses, dead body of the people who fought and other unpleasant things caused by the battle. As we continue walking she told me that I’m lucky because I was born in a generation where everything is alright. There are no battles. Yes I think that I’m lucky but if where going to look in our environment I can’t say those words. I told her that I really acknowledge her for helping the katipuneros and I asked her why did she do that. She just have a simple answer. If you really love your country you can fight even though you can’t  do it physically.
