In 2020, I wrote about the heroes we need, stressing that we have to keep them alive to help us survive the COVID-19 global scourge. They need to be encouraged, supported, and empowered, not scolded

by authorities when they highlight real issues, or, worse, Red-tagged when their efforts tend to eclipse those of the state.

It is timely to make this call, now that it is clear who the main contenders for the 2022 elections are. We definitely need better leaders and they can become our heroes, but the heroes we need are already among us, struggling with us but always rising to the occasion to inspire and encourage people to take control of their lives and kindling hope even in the darkest of times. Their love of country is one that fires in their hearts.

Journalist and UNHCR Philippines Goodwill Ambassador Atom Araullo reminded us that as we all become more and more active digital citizens, we all need to learn to be responsible online journalists as well and help guard our democracy and the truth. “Huwag magpapadala sa fake news,” he said. “I-verify and mga impormasyong inyong nakikita. Maging kritikal at bukas sa lahat ng panig. Huwag lang puro entertainment, lalo na online.
