9 - Nation or Yourself?

" Bayani Ba to? Heroism for Millennials "


I was very educated in the seminar because it taught me to appreciate the history. History is very important to us because it connects us to our past and where we came from. The seminar was very educational and fun. The speakers made the forum very informative at the same time entertaining. The forum was very fun because the speakers discuss it with sense of humor. They present the movie " Heneral Luna " which follows the life of one of Philippine History’s most brilliant military men, Heneral Antonio Luna, as he tries to lead his countrymen against colonial masters new and old, and to rise above their own raging disputes to fulfill the promise of the Philippine Revolution. " Heneral Luna " is a film by Jerrold Tarog, starring John Arcilla, Arron Villaflor, Paulo Avelino, Mon Confiado, Leo Martinez, and many more. I was amazed and became interested in the movie when they present the movie trailer because it is full of actions. I felt excitement when John Arcilla is in the forum and joined the discussion. John Arcilla, known as Daddy Ninong in the teleserye Oh My G, plays the role of Heneral Luna so it is very exciting that he joined the discussion. The seminar end by answering the questions of the students. I really enjoyed the seminar.


The seminar is about heroism, and the first question that came to my mind is " what is a hero? " then I listen carefully to the speakers on what is the real meaning of hero. Based on what I've heard in the seminar, a hero is the one who protects you, fight for your rights, love you, care for you, and help you. Now, I've realized that there are so many heroes that I encounter everyday because before, when you say the word " hero " the first persons that come to my mind is our past heroes like Lapu -Lapu, Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Antonio Luna, and many more. These heroes that I encounter everyday is my family, friends, classmates, and teachers.

What I've learned from the seminar is to value our history and heroes. Heroes are the one who fights for our rights and fights for our freedom. We experience freedom today because of them. We can do whatever we want because of them. The best thing that we can do to thank them is to appreciate them. Without them, I cannot write this blog.
