They thought they wouldn’t kill…
Shot at the mouth…at the breast…at the vagina. They thought they wouldn’t kill, women; he thought that spotted you invisibly on the face. These women, escorted by numerous media men we’re inhumanly killed exactly two years ago tomorrow - and the justice? It’s far from being served. The ingredients we’re there, winking, shining and stunning but the blinded eyes of justice chooses not heed, not to see for the fairness but for impunity.
The bigger the enemy, the uphill the fight, the elusive the justice; the tree beside the site of the massacre is still alive and standing strong – as if willing to fight for all the lives. The truth comes, after two years; the victim’s families that were supposed to be a hundred times more alive and strong were slowly looking around and down. The harsher the realities, the harsher the situation and the harsher the effects than losing someone you loved so much brutally are around them (they have to face that every single day for two years) – the harsh choice. The choice between the justice for the one you loved that is killed inhumanly or the stomach and lives of the family that is remained in this cruel country. Justice or Php 20 Million (yes, there were rampant offers for the victim’s families)? Choose. Imagine what this massacre had to do with those lives. As time goes by, they were all fighting the urge of accepting, and if they did, we can never really blame them; for the situation leaving them with no choice especially the becoming hopeless families. The enemy is that big, the fight is that uphill and the justice is that elusive.
The mastermind is so obvious, apparently, EVERYTHING is obvious here. Nothing vague, nothing unclear, everyone’s a witness and everyone’s smart enough; But still, this cultured impunity of country (how could we all take this every day?) is to stay ( I’m afraid for this). The culture that those people don’t really discovered but made it to happen. Not solved this, not solved that, people would talk about this, people would talk about that, not solved and not solved.
“Warlordism”, pollution of the police, government and military, the effects on the press freedom “isusulat ko pa ito?,baka magalit si Mayor” (it’s not true that were not affected); the system is bad, it is really a long fight for a country that democracy is just a rumored thing.
58- Two digit number, part of statistics and a part of history (were hoping and praying that it’ll go beyond that- part of statistics and a part of history);is the reality, lives and bylines that are numbered, could ever know and fight for their ideals and names?
