Maguindanao Massacre Anniversary:

[tsubameongaku]

I know I wrote about it last year, and I haven't really forgotten. It is a little hard to forget. Today is the one year anniversary of the death of 57 innocent people. I am writing this entry, so that people won't forget them and pray for them.

I can't believe a year already passed. I was very much shocked at the news. Gah, and the culprit. He should be already rotting in jail. And I was thinking of pursuing journalism too. This makes things hard.

I know. I was shocked as well... my parents almost forbid me to join a competition for my school after this incident. My friend was almost stopped too. Our parents were too scared that our bus would be hijacked.

The sad thing is that he isn't and probably will never be. He has money to save him.

Woah, that's bad. :C Because of the incident, the country's considered a very dangerous place for the media. So I can't blame them for being scared.

"Money is the root of all evil" after all. *sighs* Seems justice can be bought nowadays.

[tsubameongaku]

I know. But I am still glad we took the risk. I was so proud of all the competitors. We were so scared, but ALL of us went. All 200 of us.

It isn't cheap... but somehow, it still seems cheap.

Wow. That's inspiring. :D

Mhm. Oh how beautiful our country can become if it weren't only for these crooked people. >.
