I opened the door to a haggard, shaking mom dressed in suit, pearls, diamonds and other blings.
"Mom, what happened?"
"I saved a man." Well, sort of save. Going home, she took the tollway from Alabang to Bicutan. 1km away from the toll gate, a truck behind her hit the fence and turned turtle. She stopped, backed up and tried to see what had happened. The man was trapped inside and can't get out because of his seatbelt. Mom crawled in through the window and let him loose. When they got out, people started to "usyoso." Mom sped away.
"I don't feel like a hero." She said to me and Diki.
"Ma, helping people has become your life that it became reflex."
Mom, Soroptimist president and Hero by Reflex!
