My Modern Hero

          Superhero?  Oh!  Is it Batman?  Superman?  No!  It' s not.  And who?  You' ll come to know it! 
          As he wake up in the morning, he went out of the house to look for things that he can work on.  After that, he will prepare for he will be entering to his work.  He will be going to eat his breakfast and take a bath.  Next, he'll be going out of our house. This is what he do everyday. 
          For me, he is so responsible.  Besides trials, hardships, problems and challenges, he never surrenders because he choose to pursue his responsibilities to the family he is upholding.  He is so hardworking and patience as well.  You can never hide his personality to others because he is so friendly and for this reason, he is a well- known man in our community and in some other places.  He is so kind, caring and lovable.  He always thinks for the good of the majority.  He is not that kind of man which is self- centered.  He is ready to do everything for his love ones.  He choose what' s best for his family.  He have done a lot of sacrifices for us.  He is also a true, loyal, loving, caring thoughtful and faithful husband to his wife. 
          He is the best one!  I won' t ask for more because in him I am very happy and contented.  I owe to him my great salutation.  I just can' t compare him with anything or anyone in this world.  He is the only one, the superhero of my life, the greatest man i have known, my dad, Mr.  Gregorio P.  Laurente. 
         

Insights About the Pambansang Buwan ng Wika

          Filipino, this is our national language.  We the Filipino citizens must have the honor and privileged to use this one.  We must be proud for we have Filipino language.  

          Manuel L.  Quezon, he is the great man whom we consider as the Father of the Filipino language.  Every month of August, we celebrate the " Pambansang Buwan ng Wika.  " One main reason of conducting this celebration is to preserve the presence of Filipino language in the heart, mind and soul of every Filipino citizens.  I have said that because base on my observations, many of our countryman don't have the pride to speak out our own language when they have already gone abroad or when they are in abroad.  It seems that they were ashamed to speak it out.  For me, this is such a very immoral attitude of a Filipino.  As our Philippine National Hero, Dr.  Jose P. Rizal, once quoted, " Ang Hindi Marunong Magmahal sa Sariling Wika ay Higit Pa sa Hayop at sa Malansang Isda.  "

          Being a Filipino, we must take pride and honor to speak out our own National language everywhere we go.  We must be proud we have it.  Give importance to it and be proud for we have it.  Stand up and say, " I am proud to be a Filipino!  "
