Senseless, Sad and Sickening
To say that I’m shocked or even appalled at the ruthlessness of this butchery is an understatement.
Join me in praying for the victims of the massacre in Maguindanao: that their souls may be united with our merciful God and that the families, friends and loved ones left behind may also find comfort and grace in this very dark and difficult moment.
Also, in praying that the perpetrators and principals of these hellish deeds should find true sorrow and remorse in their hearts, somehow.
To say that I’m shocked or even appalled at the ruthlessness of this butchery is an understatement. Even now, a part of me still refuses to accept that it really happened. I’m trying to wrap my head and my heart around what could possibly impel a person to such evil. All violence is senseless, and should be condemned.
Ibang klaseng lungkot at yamot ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Sana sa ating buhay, di na tayo kailangan makaramdam muli ng ganito.
One of those who were murdered in Maguindanao was Atty. Connie Brizuela, a mother, a lawyer diligently doing her work for her family and for the meaningful change that she aspired to bring about. She, and so many others like her, like all other Filipinos, raise a fist against the present norm, against what is happening in our country. She was one of our volunteers.
It is my most fervent hope that the government will make good on its promise to bring the parties responsible to justice; it’s the least that we can do for the memory of the victims and for the peace of mind of their families.
For my part, please allow me to caution everyone against defining Mindanao by this massacre. Mindanao is a beautiful place. Moreover, it is home to beautiful peoples and communities with rich cultures and deep faiths.
And just as important, please allow me to remind everyone that the issue here is bigger than Mindanao. It is pervasive, and both the problem and the solution involve the whole nation. Let us unite as one Philippines to show our support for our Muslim brothers and sisters. ‘Wag nating hayaang walang managot. ‘Wag nating hayaang walang mangyaring pagbabago. At ‘wag nating tantanan ang gobyerno hangga’t hindi natin nakakamit ang hustisya.
As clear as day is to night, this one is GOOD vs. EVIL.
