RP has many heroes like Peñaflorida
The government should make street educator Efren Peñaflorida an example of a living hero to be emulated by his countrymen, many of whom look up to Manny Pacquiao as their only hero.
Peñaflorida won the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year award for starting a “pushcart classroom” among children so they would not join street gangs.
How ironic that it was an international broadcast network that discovered Peñaflorida and not our own government or a local NGO.
The country does not lack for living heroes.
We have countless Peñafloridas doing their thing silently or without fanfare.
Among them are doctors and dentists of St. Luke’s Medical Center who go on medical missions in poverty-stricken areas around the country.
