As youth, we definitely look forward on the things and the people we admire and salute. From the way they think, talk, act, and live; we tend to adapt it for some of us believes that it’s also one way how to be successful as what they were. In other words, we hope to be the same as them perhaps.
Luckily we have in this dispensation a heroic figure like Rizal; Too many to mention but on my list, I want to share to you my favorite Public Servant/ News Anchor, Mr. Daniel Razon .
I admire him for standing firmly on what he believes and never been afraid to fight for what is right. His advocacy that really has an implementation I admire most.
For those who do not know, this man actually won a sit in the congress way back 2008 if I’m not mistaken under the B.A.T.A.S. Partylist. He was declared by the COMELLEC to have the sit for gathering the qualifying number of votes. But because of a petition filed by his partner who haven’t had the chance to take also a sit on the congress because there is only one sit given to the said partylist, he filed a petition to stopped Razon on taking the sit. So no one took the sit because of that petition. What happens next, the COMELLEC here again announced that there is TWO sits to be given to the BATAS Partylist. Then what this bad guy did was he cancelled the filed petition and request for a reconciliation, request a set of meeting, well obviously in order for him to take the second sit. Canceling the petition will make the both of them be go good already on the congress. But Razon is indeed a man with a word. He is really not after with the position and the benefits if he took the sit. What exactly happened was that, he didn’t conformed to what his traitor friend wants to happen and what he did, he continue with God’s help the advocacy, the projects, the things he had promised during his campaign. He really did all the possible things to generate money to come up with the different public services. He had proven to everyone that you could serve the public, your fellowmen even without a position in the government. It is not all about the pork barrel that could be get but if you’re really sincere that you want to help your poor fellowmen, there will always be a way.
And that is what Razon did. In fact, at this very moment, he already come up with the regular public services offered to everybody who’s in need. It is everyday held at UNTV station. Services offered; Transient home, Free medical check- up, free medicines, free dental matters, free legal consultation, free ride in the bus from Monumento to Baclaran, Baclaran- Monumento, free jeepney rides for some other places in the Philippines, free MRT Ticket for senior citizens, and the very latest, Free College Education. The school called La Verdad Christian College. From the tuition fee, miscellaneous, uniform, books, allowance, and food, they are all FREE. The school is located at Balintawak – Edsa Front of Honda. All these were just only a dream before he said. But with God’s help, it is now a reality.
And that is my Big Brother! I may not be the same as he is in the future, but I believe that he is a good model in deed that I can look upon to. :)
