Unsung Hero

Becoming a hero does not only mean dying for our country or saving other people's lives. "There's a hero if you look inside your heart..." as the lyrics go. That's really true. There is a hidden modern-day hero in everyone of us. Here's how I take part:

1. As a medical/legal transcriptionist, I am proud that other foreign clients believe in us as they outsource their work loads to us. Once, the foreign clients liked our job as medical/legal transcriptionists (BPO Agents), they will be outsourcing more of their jobs here in the Philippines, and this will help our economy even just in a small way. I also try to excel in my work field. In this way, I am able to help my family in our financial needs and able to share blessings to others.

2. I'm also the "tourist guide" in our family. Once my family and relatives come to visit Philippines, they always call me up to take them to places. We always do "KAIN PINOY" (pinakbet, adobo, kakanin, street foods), "BUY PINOY" (eco-friendly bags, pasalubong), "RIDE PINOY" (jeep, tricycle, kalesa) and "TOUR PINAS" (Bora, Tagaytay, Baguio).

3. "Huwag lang puro awa sa kapwa." Huwag awa ang pairalin at sisihin ang gobyerno sa kalagayan nila. Ikaw mismo ang tumulong sa kanila kahit sa maliit na paraan. Lagi akong may dalawang cookies or something sa bag kapag pumapasok ako sa office para kapag may nakasalubong akong street kids or street man, binibigyan ko ng kung anong meron ako sa bag."

And once you've helped them, say it loud and proud. As Willie Revillame said in his game show, "Sa panahon ngayon huwag mong itago na tumutulong ka. Dapat ipagsabi mo para tularan ka ng iba."
