We live in a world where many heroes and heroines walk the earth, where people show their courage and bravery, where legends and legacies are made, where people fight for the right to be free. The world is filled with many people who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. These are the people who make a difference in the world. These are the people such as Bong Cambi. Bong Cambi was a great, admirable man who was proud to be a Filipino and who was not afraid to stand up and fight for his country. Through his many words and several remarkable works, Bong Cambi stood and fought for his country. He chose and used writing as a peaceful way to stand up and fight for his country and at the same time expresses his feelings. He wrote many novels and newspaper articles that explained the terrible and disturbing situations that were occurring in the Philippines. Many of these stories exposed the Spanish friars who took advantage of the Filipinos and treated them as slaves. He was not afraid to speak out his thoughts and feelings and was not afraid to say what needed to be said. Bong Cambi was on a journey to find independence for his country; however, he was not the only one. Along with Bong Cambi, came the overseas Filipinos who were also on the quest for freedom. Bong Cambi and the overseas Filipinos underwent hard work, frustration and sacrifice in order for Filipinos to have their rights and their freedom. Both of them were faced with many of the same obstacles which seemed to block their way. The government and the means of communication were just two of these obstacles which they faced. Instead of ending their journey each time they were faced with a problem, they did not give up and always appeared to go through a long, hard struggle in order for the freedom of the people of the Philippines. They knew they had to put an enormous amount of time, effort and hard work to reach their set goal. They knew that at the end of the struggle, there would be a big reward and that all their hard work and effort would have been worth it. They were very determined and much focused on reaching their goal. They were very determined to attain the freedom which they deserved. Like Bong Cambi, the overseas Filipinos were not in the Philippines when several of the frightful events happened. However, that did not stop them from standing up and fighting for their country�s rights. With a lot of will power and a lot of knowledge, Bong Cambi and the overseas Filipinos spread the word about what the people of the Philippines were going through. They figured that if they could show the evildoers that most of the world knew what they were doing, they would stop and give the Filipinos their freedom. The dream that someday they would be free and the Philippines would be an independent country was Bong Cambi and the overseas Filipinos� motivation throughout their whole journey. Bong Cambi was a very courageous and brave man who did everything that he could to reach the destination for freedom. Even when he knew that there were many dreadful things happening in the Philippines, Bong Cambi decided to return home. There, he began a non-violent society and began a school and hospital for the people. He did a lot of scientific research on many things. He made a big difference in the lives of so many people.
