IF SPIDER-MAN WAS A FILIPINO by Same Zhairra Del M. Rosario


       Unique,crazy,cool,weird...name it! Filipinos have different characteristics that other foreign countries doesn't have. Some may find it disrespectful, others may find it funny but every small gestures that we do are all part of every pieces that builds and made our culture and traditions known for. But, could you imagine a super hero adapts or more likely, become a Filipino? Would he's still be that cool and awesome or weird and funny?


       Superheroes, like Spider-Man, are known for saving lives. He rescues people from dangers and he comes at the right and perfect time where the commotion is in it's climax part, where the people needed him most, but would he'd still be able to rescue his poor fellow man in times of their need if his 'OTW' is actually means, 'On The Water'. Ridiculous right? Or can be also before he saves the lives of people in danger, he would first take a selfie and post it in the social media sites with the caption 'ATM' or at the moment. Yes, Filipino's are known for being tardy all the time but in contrast with this, you can see many advantages if Spider-Man was a Filipino. We, are brave enough to offer our lives to save others, specially when it comes to Family, we would risk it all. Only Filipinos have 'po' and 'opo' that are used to give respect not just to the elders but to each other. If we only observe it well our Funny and weird non-verbal cues reveals not just our culture and tradition but a personality and heart of a Filipino which is a 'soft bread' and undyingful love for others.

       Spider-Man suits perfectly to be a Filipino, because likewise to what he said, We, also believe and put to practice that "With a great power, comes a great responsibility.", maybe we are very much pre-occupied by what negative reaction and opinion that other blood tells us, but always remember that a blood that runs in every Filipino may be crazy or weird it'll always be cool and unique apart from others. Be Proud because you're a Filipino.
