Hola! I'm Diego! Ready for a rescue?
The famous greeting of Diego, one of the famous cartoon characters of today. He is the main character hero of Go, Diego, Go!, a television series created by Chris Gifferd and Valerie Walsh, and is a spin-off of Dora the Explorer.
I watched one of its series from a dvd a few days ago. My five-year-old niece, Patrizhia, told me he is the cousin of Dora the Explorer. I was amazed by this boy. For me he is like the recent version of Tarzan and MacGyver, rolled into one.
Diego has sophisticated gadgets that makes it easy for him to help people. He has a rescue camera that helps him find the things or people he is looking for. He didn't have to move to another place to look for his target, instead he just stay where he is at the time his help is called. Then he switches on his camera, turn it around and let the camera find who or what he is looking for. When he sees his target, that is the only time that he would start to move. When things gets difficult on the way, he has portable computer that he just asks or do some research. His backpack contains almost all that he needs for help.
When things gets hard for me especially these days, I couldn't help wishing I could call Diego to help me. When I have questions, I wish he could lend me his computer so I can research for an answer to my quiry. I wish I could borrow his camera so I can see what my future holds or if my prayers will really be answered. I am so sure Diego will answer me right away when I ask him. He won't give me a silent answer. He won't give me a hard time figuring out for my self what he thinks. (Sounds familiar, huh!)
But of course we know Diego is just a man's creation. He doesn't really exist.
There is someone who is more than Diego, Tarzan or MacGyver.
Someone who is so real.
