My Modern Hero

My Hero in the Modern World

All of us have special person who we consider as our hero. Heroes are not just those people who bravely fought with the Spaniards for the freedom of our country during the Spanish era. A hero is not necessary brave or a person with super powers,a person can be a hero as long as he/she sacrifices and make efforts for his/her special someone.

I consider my father as my hero. Even though he don't posses super natural powers or a shining armor, I consider him one because his love and sacrifices to give me a better life and education is more than enough. He also stood as mother and father for us. I used to disobey him but he never scolded me. He is so patient that sometimes I felt guilty for my stubbornness. He is also my crying shoulders. When problems came across my way, he always give me advises. Many have said that I am a daddy's girl and my mother used to argue with my father when it comes in disciplining me. My mother say that I grew up dependent and stubborn because my father is always protecting me. I don't care of what they say because I know in my heart that my father did all of this for me because he loves me and I am doing my best not to disappoint him. 

"The SONA of President Benigno Aquino lll"

           The State of the Nation Address  is an annual event in the republic of the Philippines  in which the President of the Philippines  reports on the status of the nation , normally to the resumption of a joint session of the Congress.
           "There is no justice, without reconciliation".. We have heard this from President Benigno Aquino lll in his early days of his terms. He also said that we are his boss and there would be no poverty, if there is no corruption. His nice and some how flowery statements make us believe that it is still possible for this country to make some change and be a progressive one. And so, last July 25,2011 , we have witnessed the first State of the Nation Address of President Aquino. In his SONA , he discussed about the problems of our country, our economy,  the using of 'wang-wang' , RH Bill, Divorce Bill, and many other things or topics related to our country. For me, he should not only discuss about this things.The important thing a leader must do is find ways on how to cope up with the problems of the country he is holding or ruling. I'm afraid to know and accept thst our president is only good in words. Yes, we are not yet experiencing corruption, but we are still suffering from poverty and the progression of our country is slow like a baby taking its baby-steps The SONA of our president is only an overview of what the President will do to our country, to make it a progressive, more productive and powerful country. I only hoped that our President will do all that he promised and declared in his SONA , and our country will become succassful in this coming years.. 

"ISULONG ANG BREASTFEEDING TAMA, SAPAT AT EKSKLUSIBO"

            Breastfeeding is very important and good for babies. It is the healthiest and most nutritious milk a mother could give to her child. Infants can get more essential vitamins and minerals like colostrum from the milk of their mothers than the milk bought in the market. Colostrum is the first flow of milk from the breast of a mother right after her delivery. It is highly nutritious and good to infants. Because it has different essential nutrient like protein and calcium that helps to boost the immune system of babies. we have seen or heard many milk substitute that were endorsed using media. This milk is not naturally processed because it undergoes different stages in different machines and it is made up of preservatives and chemicals. Mostly , milk substitutes were taken from cow's milk. We should know that cow's milk is for its calf and dog's milk is for its puppy. Our cute babies are not animals , therefore infants must be fed by the breast-milk of its own mother. They said that commercial milk has also essential nutrients and minerals for babies but there's no milk in the world that could beat the breast-milk of our ever loving mothers. Some milk that were commercially aired on televisions and radios were made to enhance the IQ level of infants and children but would probably cost high. Not all mothers can afford buying these such milk products. If we are observant , we could see that breast fed children is active, has alert of mind , healthy metabolism , and not prone to viruses that can cause diseases. Breastfeeding , on the other hand , aside from nutritious, is very affordable. It could only be taken from a mother's milk ; mothers who have selfless love...
