today, the Philippines will be celebrating the National Heroes' Day. we have seen heroes of our time. among the many Philippine heroes, I personally admire Benigno Ninoy Aquino Jr. (November 27, 1932 - August 31, 1983), Dr. Jose Rizal (June 19, 1861 - December 30, 1896) and Andres Bonifacio (November 30, 1863 - May 10, 1897). they were killed to stop their fight for justice. they died in order to make us realize that the Filipinos are worth dying for. today, many modern Filipino heroes arises. not as politicians or leaders but in their own small ways have brought with them the real character of what Filipinos can do for their God, for their family and for their country. mabuhay ang mga ordinaryong bayaning pinoy!photos were taken at Rizal's monument in Binan Laguna. a place where Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero, took residence studied during his childhood days.
