I've spent a huge chunk of time today searching
for stories that even remotely features heroism
in our daily lives. Given the high crime rate
and the scumbags that are all around us, I am
still optimistic that somewhere out in the country-
side, or in some crowded neighborhood somewhere,
a Pinoy or Pinay must have taken the chance to
save someone, something, anything at all.

When the show started, this is how our blurb
reads:

Feats of daring. Stories of greatness.
Men and women of valor.

This is the story of for modern-day
heroes. With narratives inspired by
today's headlines, we show viewers
how seemingly ordinary Filipinos show
extraordinary gallantry under the
worst circumstances.

Courage. Heroism. Sacrifice.

Now all that's left is headlines and worst
circumstances. I whined about it a year ago,
and I managed to squash the pangs of guilt then.
Then Freud smacks everyone on the back of the
head: Silly you, of course you can never bury
something like that. So now most of us is
heeding Freud, or the AGB ratings. We're
trying to rediscover the mission statement
that we started with. And perhaps rightly so.
