From where I came from not everybody's a hero

It's a freaking given fact. I love superheroes. I love what they do to people. I love what they stand for. Like for example Captain America, Freedon and justice the American freaking way. Like Spidey, your friendly neighborhood Spiderman. It's actually their deeds that make them special. Its what the people see and don not see in them. There is this new shirt, well, it's a statement shirt that goes " FROM WHERE I CAME FROM EVERYBODY'S A HERO." Sure, I know Jose Rizal, Macario Sakay, and Lapu-Lapu PERO SINO BA TALAGA YUNG BAYANI O MGA BAYANI? Well, not from my point of view. Last Sep. 26, 2009 Ondoy bitch slapped most areas in Rizal province, Marikina, and other parts of the Metro. Leaving hundreds of dead pinoy and home less families. Help came in like crazy, donations, volunteers, even that fuck faced Richard "The Speed Boat" Gutierrez" who only saved Christine Reyes via borrowed speed boat.
But sad to say, I saw first hand how some people had the guts to pose for photos outside relief areas. And these photos are not candid, its like their posing so that they can pose it on their fucking networking sites! Hell!!! I saw those darn idiots outside while the rest of them were packing relief goods! There were two container vans outside, maatatapos sana kayo kung sobrang lahat kayo gnagawa nyo trabaho nyo. I have nothing against photo or taking pictures, you need that for your records but if its not necessary, don't bother. Volunteering is a selfless act! Selfless. AND HELL BE THANKFUL, MY STORE GAVE 5K WORTH OF COFFEE FOR THOSE VOULUNTEERS TAPOS SASABHIN NG ISA " WELL ITS ABOUT TIME THEY GAVE US COFFEE!" INGRATA KA! NASALANTA DIN KAME. That is why I don't really agree with that statement shirt ''FROM WHERE I CAME FROM EVERYBODY'S A HERO". Others kase selfish ang reasons. Masabi lang nag volunteer ok na

Here's my list of heroes and villains during the Ondoy Typhoon

Heroes:
Sen Gordon
Red Cross Volunteers
Starbucks Philippines
Jon Espiritu (Because he made two trips to deliver coffee to those volunteers)
Gerard Andersen
Jericho Rosales (pwede na din)
Raymart Santiago
Phil Navy

Villains:
Gibo (manok sana kita kaso shaky ka pa bro)
Bayani (Asaan ka mate?)
Mayor Paeng Diaz of San Mateo Rizal (where in the world are you mayor during the typhoon?)
Gov. Ynares (puro salamat sa interview, men, we need figures, we need numbers kung ilan na natutulungan mo)
Mga nanamantala sa mga relief goods
Mga tanod na dapat nagbabantay ng ration at releif eh sila pa ang unang kumukuha
Mga student volunteers na inatupag lang eh mag picturan sa sa labas ng relief centers para may pam-post sa facebook at twitter nila.
Mga artistang tumutulong mag karoon lang ng publicity.
