    I cried to the part where the soldier went back to their vehicle just to get ammo. He knew the risk, but went with it anyway. Isa kang tunay na bayani.

    The soldiers who fought the terrorists should be awarded the medal of valor. I know how important this medal to the soldiers, kung ang baril ang asawa nila sa giyera ang medalya ang agimat nila sa giyera. My uncle received the medal of valor fighting the abu sayyaf in Sulu and he is one of the best trained sniper of scout rangers, he is a retired army now.
