I am still in Davao as my Uncle and I decided not to travel yet coz of the storm signal No. 1 in the Visayas and a bit part of Mindanao.So if we do we'll just end up stranded in the ferry station like my neighbors who also attended my friend's wedding.

I was chatting with my boyfriend when he told me that a massacre has happened here in Mindanao,but quickly dismissed it for I didn't know about it thinking it is far away anyway.

But as I sat on the couch in front of the TV watching the early evening news I was horrified to find that this is not just like any of those massacres I've seen on TV. The severity of this is far far worse than any this country has seen in such a long time.

As I found out,this could be something that happened out of political struggle between two rival clans in politics. As as a convoy was passing through an area to support someone who is filing for candidacy,they were intervened by people who will later become their killers. But along the way a lot of innocent people fell victims to this manslaughter, including a businessman going through the same way on a business meeting,human rights lawyers who were supporters, family, supporters friends and some people from the media..

This is a very sad phase in the history of Philippine Politics because for now, nothing is being done. People watch as day by day they see justice slipping away. What would become of us if something this grave will go as if someone is actually above the law? What will become of the next election? What will happen to people who are less fortunate when it comes to power and money but are blessed with the heart to help out their fellow countrymen? What will happen to the supporters who can't protect themselves against such barbaric acts? What will become of us?

This is a complete violation of law, not just those made my man but by any god of different religions, this has crossed each and every limit of morality, of humanity....

But this should not make Filipinos scared,this should make us mad against inhumanity done to us by people who abuse the power and position that we have given them..We put them there, therefore we can strip them of that power if we unite and search for truth and justice. We should not be blinded by fear, instead let this be a lesson to us and open our eyes as to what is really happening around us and realize that we deserve better than this. That we deserve to have political leaders that are willing to step up and fight for what is right. And we should not be scared of the hands who can afford to do this kind of evil.

This only goes to show as to the extent someone can go for their ambition and greed. We should should not feed these entities their source of power, life and position. I am so disgusted by this.

If the government is really keen on promoting peace, tourism, security against enemies from from outside the country and from within, if they want to open business opportunities and have investors have trust in our economy, if they really want decent people to have decent jobs, if they really want an education due to the youth, and to progress instead of thinking of personal/family power and wealth,their selfish political ambitions, and their great hunger for supremacy then now is the time to show us what they're really made of.

They look so good on their posters and on their TV ads that now it makes me wonder if they can actually deliver. Or are they just like some of these pretty women in magazines, so photoshoped and fake..

They should make Filipinos believe that justice still exist in this country. If this can happen to these people and the government will not intervene then it just goes to show that this can happen to anyone and that each and every Filipino is in danger of slaughter from these heartless,soulless demons. This is a barbaric if not demonic display of supremacy. This should not go unpunished.

For me, justice served to the victims and their loved ones is justice served to the whole Filipino community and the whole humanity.

An eye for an eye though is not the way to achieve justice..For me someone should be behind bars feeling the cold and emptiness of life,waiting for an end that seems like forever..It shall give them time to think things over and have them humbled by the people they think so little of. Make them feel how it is to be stripped of power and make them feel what they really are, not gods but filthy creatures who deserve nothing more than a cold long life behind bars...

May those who have departed rest in peace, may their loved ones find justice, may this country finally find its peace and may God have mercy on the souls of the people who did this, if that is even possible..
