Based on the information of our Boy Scouts of the Philippines National President, ATTY EMILIO B. AQUINO and on the nationwide news from 24 Oras; our simple tribute to a Senior Scout who exemplified bravery amidst the shooting incident in Tacloban:
NOT ALL SCOUT HEROES WEAR THEIR UNIFORM — SOME WEAR THEIR COURAGE IN THEIR HEARTS. ⚜️
A true Scout is not measured only by the badge, neckerchief, or uniform he carries, but by the values he lives — courage, loyalty, service, and concern for others.
A heartfelt Scout salute to Senior Scout Chris Lorenz Fabian, who displayed extraordinary bravery and presence of mind in protecting his classmates during the tragic shooting incident at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City. In a moment of fear and uncertainty, you chose courage over panic and stood as a shield for those around you.
Your selfless act reflects the true spirit of Scouting — “Be Prepared” not only in skills, but in character and compassion. Your bravery reminds us that heroes are not always found in extraordinary places; sometimes, they are among us, quietly choosing to do what is right when it matters most.
With deepest respect and admiration, my snappy Scout salute to you, Senior Scout Chris Lorenz Fabian. May your courage continue to inspire every Scout and every young person to become a person of service, kindness, and valor. 🫡
HINDI LAHAT NG BAYANI NG SCOUT AY NAKASUOT NG UNIPORME — ANG TUNAY NA BAYANI AY MAY TAPANG SA PUSO. ⚜️
Ang tunay na Scout ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa suot na uniporme, badge, o panyo, kundi sa mga pagpapahalagang kanyang isinasabuhay — tapang, katapatan, paglilingkod, at malasakit sa kapwa.
Isang taos-pusong Scout salute kay Senior Scout Chris Lorenz Fabian, na nagpakita ng pambihirang katapangan at kahinahunan ng isip sa pagtatanggol sa kanyang mga kaklase sa gitna ng mapanganib na pangyayari sa San Jose National High School sa Tacloban City. Sa sandali ng takot at pangamba, pinili mong maging matapang kaysa matakot at tumayo bilang tagapagtanggol ng mga nasa paligid mo. 🫡
Ang iyong walang pag-iimbot na pagkilos ay sumasalamin sa tunay na diwa ng Scouting — “Laging Handa,” hindi lamang sa kakayahan, kundi higit sa lahat sa mabuting kalooban, malasakit, at paglilingkod. Ipinaalala mo sa amin na ang mga bayani ay hindi lamang matatagpuan sa malalaking entablado; sila ay maaaring nasa ating tabi, mga taong pinipiling gawin ang tama sa panahong higit itong kailangan.
Buong pagpapahalaga at paggalang, ang aking pinakamataas na Scout salute sa iyo, Senior Scout Chris Lorenz Fabian. Nawa’y patuloy na magsilbing inspirasyon ang iyong tapang sa bawat Scout at kabataan upang maging taong may dangal, malasakit, at tunay na diwa ng kabayanihan.
