Is it hard to find real heroes?

When I first read the story about Faye, I thought it is too good to be true. Today, the Inquirer finally nailed it. The Inquirer report says the story is declared a hoax by the Bread of Life Ministries and by DOST-SEI. The Bread of Life Ministries finally apologized for the mess their story about Faye did.

In retrospect, I wonder why a lot of people actually believed the story at face value. They didn't even bother to check the veracity of the details of the story. Some even testified that the story must be true since they have seen Faye in person. For them, Faye is a hero who loved her country despite the odds she met before clinching the top prize of an international competition. Are we really lacking in heroes? Are we desperate in looking for one that we can even believe anyone who pose to be one?
