According to historian, Zeus A. Salazar
“ heroism” and “ kabayanihan” may be
equivalent terms but they don’ t have the
same meaning. The word is different in
context.

On the other hand, UP Diksyunaryong


Filipino (2001) listed three meanings for
bayani:
 a person of extraordinary courage and
ability;
 a person considered to possess
extraordinary talents or someone who
did something noble (“ dakila” );
 a leading man in a play.
It was added that a or hero from
mythology were those who had the
Then, in the dictionary is defined as someone who is brave or
valiant, someone who works toward a common task or cooperative
endeavor (“ bayanihan” ). It is significant that bayani comes a few
words under “ bayan,” which is defined as: the space between here and
the sky. Bayan is also a town, municipality, pueblo, or nation, and can refer
to people and citizens (“ mamamayan” ) who live in those communities,
or to those who originate or come from the same place (“ kababayan” ).
Bayan also refers to the day (“ araw” ) or a time of day (“ malalim ang
bayan” ) or even to the weather, good or bad (“ masamang bayan” ).

On the other hand, or heroism is a concept that came


from the Greeks. The Greeks look at Hercules as an example. He is
considered a “ hero” that is strong-willed and has supernatural
character who consciously directs his abilities for the good of the people.
The Western-inspired educational system taught us this definition; that is

Ang salitang 'bayani' ay isang Austronesian na salita na dinala ng
ating mga katutubo sa ating bayan. Ang mga bayani ay ang mga
mandirigma kung saan sila ay nangunguna sa pagtatanggol ng
pamayanan laban sa mga kinahaharap na mga kaaway at mga
panganib.

Sa Kabayanihan: Ang Salitang Bayani sa Lipunan at Kasaysayan,


isinagawa ni Ricardo Ma. Nolasco ang pagbuong-muli
(reconstruction) sa kahulugan ng kabayanihan o bayani batay sa
balangkas ng Kasaysayan at paggamit sa wika ng iba‘ t ibang
pangkat etnolingguwistikong Pilipino. Sa pagtalunton sa pre-kolonyal
na kasaysayan ng bayani o bagani at sa pagsasama-sama ng mga
kogneyt nito sa iba‘ t ibang wika sa Pilipinas, naipakita niya ang
Ayon pa sa kanya, ang salitang bayani ay kinikilala at pinagpipitagang
grupo ng tao na tinatawag ding mga mandirigma. Sa ilang
pre-Hispanikong lipunan na may gawaing manguna sa pagtatanggol
ng pamayanan laban sa kinakaharap na kaaway o panganib. Sila dijn
ay karaniwang tinatawag sa katawagang magani, bahani, bayani.

Ang mga bagani ay natutukoy din ang antas sa pamamagitan ng


kanilang kasuutan. Ang mga nagampanan ang ilang ritwal gaya ng

The Concept of
“Bayani” and
“Kabayanihan”
in the context of
Philippine
Society
10
A hero or “ bayani” in Tagalog is somebody or someone that saves
lives. Saving lives is indeed a heroic act. However, a hero can be anyone
that does something they have fear of but are brave enough to do
something. Being brave is the essential trait of the Filipinos. This was
shown by Dr. Jose Rizal who sacrificed his life during the Spanish
oppression in the country. As well as to Antonio Luna, who fought during
the Filipino-American and died with the hand of a Filipino soldiers
because he was fighting for the freedom of the country against the
Americans. This was because Emilio Aguinaldo at that time, refused to
fight due to his cowardliness to the Americans. Another example, was
Flor Contemplacion, an overseas Filipino worker who was executed for
the crime of murder and later was revealed innocent that makes her a
symbol of all OFW’ s who work for their family and all the hardship that
they encountered to achieve what they aim for their family. And recently,
Nowadays, being a hero is seen in a different context. It does not require the
act of sacrificing your own life for the country. You don’ t have to die in order
to be a hero. The act of heroism can be seen into different ways and different
dimensions. You can be a hero in most possible way. Serving people with the
best of your ability is a true essence of being a hero, another example would
be, when you’ re helping a lady to cross the street and when a firefighter
helped extinguish a fire. Those are simple acts that shows heroism, moreover
they are acts of “ kabayanihan” and makes that person doing the act as
“ bayani” .

You don’ t have to be like Rizal to be a hero. Though he expressed his love on
the country through silent means but powerful way through his novels, essays,
articles, and poems, this doesn’ t mean that you have to do that too to be
considered as one. Doing something that is beneficial to the society and to
other people is a manifestation of heroism. People can be a hero on their own
little way. Ordinary people in their own little ways with extra ordinary
accomplishments can be a hero. If you accomplish for the benefit of the
Thank you
