totoo nga yan because of the media nawalan na ng katuturan ang totoong kahulugan ng isang bayani or hero.

here are examples on how "bayani" is taken into context:

* sabi ni dinky soliman, magpaka bayani daw si GMA at mag-resign.
pano maging bayani yun nag-resign pero deep inside eh galit na galit sya kasi "corrupt" daw amo nya.


* sa showbiz, meron pa ako nadinig magkabayani daw yun isang artista at i-reveal nya yun nalalaman sa isang scandal


* we are brainwashed from the media to govt. propanganda that those who work abroad are heroes or bayani.
i think not bec. they work abroad to earn money. the bulk of their earnings napupunta naman sa pamilya nila. so what's the difference between those who work here and those who work abroad. if they are heroes, that doesnt make us who have chosen to stay here lesser than them. we can also be considered heroes coz hindi namin iniwan ang bayan namin kahit naghihirap. but that's not the case, none of us are heroes!


heroes are dead people. they gave their lives selflessly without anything in return. let's stick to that definition.

if we continue equating the term bayani to every other personality or group, then yun na nga siguro ang ipapasa natin sa mga kabataan. the term bayani is as good as Bayani Agbayani the comedian. d magtatagal pagtatawanan na lang tong katagang ito, and the significance, wala na.
