I don't know about moving on...
.
With all the bad things happening in the Philippines, I find myself questioning a lot of things. I don't really want to add to the clutter that's been filling TV, radio, print and online media about what coulda, shoulda, woulda... I'm not an expert at hostage negotiations. I'm not a leader. I'm not even a reporter.
All I want to say is, from the mountains of Sarangani where I got the news via Twitter as it happened Monday morning, I was immediately alarmed because it involved foreign nationals. A lot of them. Then we lost signal the rest of the day until 6:30pm. We all know what happened then.
From the start pa lang, I knew it was an emergency/crisis of the highest level because it involved foreign nationals... and I'm not an expert, nor a leader, nor a reporter.
I am still feeling all the emotions, mostly shame, frustration and fear. I have not moved on. I don't know if I can.
So many lives were lost. And it could have been prevented. I feel for the families... My heart still hurts for them.
I've stopped listening to the news.
This morning Gang Badoy posted "Shame" in her facebook. Read this. Enough said.
