Caped wonders with super powers have been created throughout history during times when people were in dire need of "heroes". They could fly or do a Houdini from the arch-rival's snare. But, these heroes stay on the comic book (or the silver screen). Hence, we in the real world face challenges ourselves--sans super powers. Whether it's families breaking apart or declining literacy in the country, it is we who answer the call from where we are, with what we have.

'Ako ba talaga 'yan?'
Feb. 26 marked the day of the closing Mass for Pro-Life Month, held at the Perpetual Help Church -- better known as Baclaran Church -- in Manila. Our exhibit of the various stages of fetal development, which accompanies most of Pro-Life's activities, drew crowds, as usual. Apparently it was the first time for many to see what we look like inside our mother's womb, judging from the fascinated gazes of young and old at the photos. People milled around the plastic boards bearing the images, and those who could read pored over the literature pasted next to the photos, describing just what the baby is going through during each month of the mother's pregnancy.
** "Ako ba talaga 'yan?" = Tagalog for "Is that really me?"
