EN: hero
A **bayani** isn't just someone in a cape. It's Jose Rizal, it's the OFW sending money home, it's the frontliner during the pandemic, it's the Grab driver navigating EDSA traffic to get you your milk tea. It's anyone who shows courage and makes a sacrifice for the greater good, whether it's for the whole country or just for their family. The ultimate "sana all" of character traits.
Possibly from Proto-Austronesian *baRani ("brave, fearless"). In old Tagalog, 'bayani' meant someone who leads warriors in battle or a member of a community working together.
Can refer to historical national heroes or modern-day everyday heroes.
