    Notes on Concept of Hero/Bayani
    - A hero is someone who does good and courageous things for other people without being
    asked to do them. A hero is someone who has a strong sense of justice and goodness and
    acts upon that sense. A hero should not seek fame for the sake of it.
    - Esteban de Ocampo
    o A hero means a prominent or central personage taking an admirable part in any
    remarkable action or event
    o A person of distinguished valor or enterprise in danger, or fortitude in suffering
    o A man honored after death by public worship because of exceptional service to
    mankind
    - Criteria for National Heroes
    o (Adopted by the Technical Committee of the National Heroes Committee on June
    3, 1993 , Manila . Members of the Committee included Drs. Onofre D. Corpuz,
    Samuel K. Tan, Marcelino Foronda, Alfredo Lagmay, Bernardita R. Churchill,
    Serafin D. Quiason, Ambeth Ocampo, then known as Dom Ignacio Maria, Prof.
    Minerva Gonzales and Mrs. Carmen Guerrero-Nakpil)

    1. Heroes are those who have a concept of nation and thereafter aspire and struggle for
    the nation’s freedom. Our own struggle for freedom was begun by Bonifacio and finished
    by Aguinaldo, the latter formally declaring the revolution’s success. In reality, however, a
    revolution has no end. Revolutions are only the beginning. One cannot aspire to be free
    only to sink back into bondage.

    2. Heroes are those who define and contribute to a system or life of freedom and order for
    a nation. Freedom without order will only lead to anarchy. Therefore, heroes are those
    who make the nation’s constitution and laws, such as Mabini and Recto. To the latter,
    constitutions are only the beginning, for it is the people living under the constitution that
    truly constitute a nation.

    3. Heroes are those who contribute to the quality of life and destiny of a nation. (As
    defined by Dr. Onofre D. Corpuz)

    - Additional Criteria for Heroes


    o (Adopted by the Technical Committee of the National Heroes Committee on
    November 15, 1995, Manila)

    1. A hero is part of the people’s expression. But the process of a people’s internalization
    of a hero’s life and works takes time, with the youth forming a part of the internalization.

    2. A hero thinks of the future, especially the future generations.


    3. The choice of a hero involves not only the recounting of an episode or events in
    history, but of the entire process that made this particular person a hero. (As defined by
    Dr. Alfredo Lagmay)

    - On March 28, 1993


    o President’s Executive Order No. 75
     The National Heroes Committee
     Commissioned to study, evaluate and recommend historical figures
    to be declared as national heroes. The Committee composed of
    worthy members, with a series of discussions came up with the
    new criteria
     The criteria is composed of 10 standards:

    1. The extent of a person’s sacrifices for the welfare of the country.


    2. The motive and methods employed in the attainment of the ideal (was his ideal purely for
    the welfare of the country and without any taint of self-interested motives, most of all the
    method of attainment should be morally valid).
    3. The moral character of the person concerned (the person should not have any immorality
    issue that affected his ideal).
    4. The influence of the person concerned on his age and or the succeeding age.
    5. Heroes are those who have a concept of nation and thereafter aspire and struggle for the
    nation’s freedom (they must have desired the country’s freedom in any situation
    especially when there’s a threat of invasion in any form).
    6. Heroes are those who define and contribute to a system of life of freedom and order for a
    nation (one who helps in the orderliness and betterment of the country).
    7. Heroes are those who contribute to the quality of life and destiny of a nation.
    8. A hero is part of the people’s expression (the citizen must have recognized and
    acknowledged the person as a hero).
    9. A hero thinks of the future, especially the future generations, his concern for the future
    generations must be seen in his decisions and ideals).
    10. The choice of a hero involves not only the recounting of an episode or events in history,
    but of the entire process that made this particular person a hero.
