Review of Related Literature
In our modern world we consider overseas workers also known as OFW as the modern hero in
our era. Being hero in one’s country does not mean that you need to have supernatural powers in order
to help others and earn all the fame and respect of the people. In order to be considered as national hero
one should be able to exhibit the traits that will protect the well-being of the Filipino citizen. The strong
urge to help the citizens of the Philippine and have great pride to the country, the Philippines, would
spark the sense of nationalism.
