He may not have Clark Kent's 6-foot tall physique and he does not duck into phone
booths for a quick change of blue and red clothes but Kuya Daniel S. Razon is like Superman in many ways and a lot better. For starters, Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman
and Kuya Daniel are both journalists. Kuya Daniel has been working for the mass
media since 1987 while Clark works for the fictitious publication Daily Planet.
Aside from being mediamen, Kuya Daniel and Clark are also recognized in the arts.
Kuya Daniel already had two solo photo exhibits under his tab, “In My Eyes” and
“Looking Beyond.” His “Looking Beyond” exhibit benefited the Philippine's first Free Transient Home which was conceptualized, with God's help, together with Members
Church of God International Presiding Minister, Bro. Eli Soriano. Kuya Daniel is
also a singer-composer, creative consultant, TV personality, and a voice-over talent.
As for Clark, well we all know he is the famous red-capedonning, flying Kryptonian
comic art character.
Being a man of the arts, Kuya Daniel uses his artistic gifts lending a hand to people
in need of help as he had learned from his Bible through his uncle, Bro. Eli Soriano.
Bro. Eli and Kuya Daniel's efforts to help people everyday to pay tribute to the
Almighty are very much true-to-life with its medical missions, free legal services,
free bus rides, and free MRT rides for senior citizens. These services for the public
can be seen daily in the morning program “Good Morning Kuya” aired over UNTV 37
from Monday to Friday, 4:45 AM to 9:00 AM.
Another interesting trait of Kuya Daniel and Superman is their source of strength.
Faith-wise, one of Kuya Daniel's strength suppliers is Jesus Christ who is attributed
in the Bible as the “bright morning star” (Revelation 22:16 KJV). Like Kuya Daniel
the red-caped Kryptonian who also gets his strength from…you guessed it right, a
star. It's actually the sun, which is classified as a big star or a supernova.
Both of them use these strengths in serving people although both men's quest is
to help mankind; Kuya Daniel's actions are the real thing while Superman's feats
are purely and totally fiction.What's more, Superman puts his trust solely on his
powers but Kuya Daniel proves that even if you cannot fly or reverse the Earth's orbit,
being equipped with an enormous faith in the Almighty would enable anyone to
help people…even Just One Day.
