Chocolate conquers the atmosphere
Fire continues to burn ones soul
I’m feeling the fire
You, you’re in the bed of ice

Liham ni Sen.Kiko Pangilinan para sa 58



Kiko Pangilinan 23 November at 00:25 Report

Hi Liryc,

Please see my message below. Salamat.


Para sa mga biktima ng Maguindanao massacre at mga naulila ng mga ito:

Kasama ninyo ako at ang buong bayan sa pagluluksa at paggunita ng napakadilim na yugto na ito sa ating kasaysayan. Isang taon ang nakalipas at tila tumigil ang pag-ikot ng mundo, gaya ng pagtigil nito nang maganap ang 'di mapapatawad na krimeng nagbuwis ng 58 inosenteng buhay. Gagawin namin ang aming buong makakaya upang hindi makalimutan kailanman na, minsan, kayang maging halimaw ang taong hayok sa kapangyarihan at isipin na kaya nitong kumitil ng buhay na walang takot.

Bubuhayin natin ang ala-alang ito upang magsilbing babala na hindi na natin muling hahayaang magkaroon ng ganitong klaseng halimaw sa ating bayan. Gagawin rin natin ang buong makakaya upang ating makamit ang tunay na hustisya at muling buhayin ang pag-asa na sa ating bayan, bawat Pilipino ay pantay at patas sa mata ng batas.

(Maraming salamat Sen.Kiko Pangilinan at naglaan ka ng oras para magbigay ng personal na mensahe sa aking ginawang page na "Liham sa 58" http://www.facebook.com/pages/Liham-sa-58/131213720231306?ref=nf. Lubos ko pong ikinagagalak na patuloy kayong gumagawa ng aksyon para sa ikalulutas ng kaso, MARAMING SALAMAT PO!!! -L.D.C)

ONE YEAR, WHAT'S NEXT?

Backhoe Diaries








The journey of the souls of the 58 people who were brutally killed last November 23, 2009 in Maguindano are still in the slope of a "turtle-like race" pertaining to the justice system of our beloved country, the Philippines. Up to now there is no clear judgment if who should be officially blame and sanction after creating a morbid history in our country, THE MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE.

I can still remember the scenarios few days after the massacre. Signboards were posted at the doors of the different offices in the university where I am enrolled updating the people if how many bodies were retrieve in the massacre. Numerous vigils asking for justice for the souls of the victims and their families were led by different organizations and groups throughout the country. Media organizations, TV networks, and radio stations here and outside the country were expressive in condemning the lawless act pressuring the previous government to execute immediate actions regarding the said incident. Streets of the key cities here in our country were filled of people rallying and social networking sites acted as tools for ordinary people to express their sympathy for the victims as well as their animosity against the alleged suspects, the Ampatuans. 

On 11.23.10 we will commemorate the first year of the massacre. However, most of us still feel the anguish towards this unfortunate circumstance as if it only happened yesterday. One year of constant thirst for more concrete actions by the government. One year of drama and alibis brought by the “alleged” suspects. One year of pain and sorrow for the family of the victims who still seek for their ultimate goal ---- JUSTICE. One year of a roller coaster journey for the restless souls of the 58 victims of the MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE. When will justice ever prevail in a nation largely controlled by these political dynasties and war lords? We will never stop seeking for justice that the victims deserve. One year of suffering is enough. Justice must prevail NOW.

Ang Pahinang ito ay para rin sa mga kasamahan natin sa media ng walang-awang pinaslang ng ilan sa mga hindi pa nakikilalang mga Vigilante.

Sa kanilang mga naiwang kapamilya, naway mag hilom na ang sugat sa kanilang puso at mas maging malakas at matatag sila para sa mga susunod na laban. Sa GOBYERNO at kay PNOY, naway maging patas at mabilis ang pagbigay nila ng agarang aksyon para malutas at mabigyang parusa ang mga suspect at ng mabigyan ng katarungan at hustisya ang 58 buhay na walang-awang pinaslang. Sa mga SUSPECT.. NAWAY KAININ SILA NG LUPA (este) ng KANILANG KONSENSYA AT AMININ NA SILA'Y mga HAYOP (este) TUNAY NA ULO sa pagpatay sa 58 nasawi at ilan pa sa MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE.

11.23.09 = 58







Ang iba sa kanila'y masayang kasama ang kanilang mga pamilya, ang iba'y masayang niyayakap ang buhay, ang iba'y malinis at matapat na naglilingkod sa bayan, ang iba'y may mga pangarap na ang hiling ay sana'y mabuo para sa kanila at kanilang mga kapamilya. [Ganito ang ikot ng 58 buhay na walang-awa na kinitil ilang araw bago ang MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE] 11.23.09


Sa unang taon nito nasaang ang HUSTISYA?

Story from a Bahay-kubo Classroom



I've been close to my teachers since I was in grade school. I used to stay in the faculty lounge whenever I had free time to chat with them about the latest news in the campus, teleseryes, hot showbiz intrigues, and my crushes.
Teachers will forever be a part of my life because aside from being a reservoir of knowledge, they show me why I am important and why my life matters.
By third year high school, I thought I already knew what makes teachers tick. But I discovered something that made me realize how brilliant and special teachers are -- the teachers in the remote areas of South Cotabato.
I was doing my mini-thesis and documentary about the level of quality of education in the mountain areas when I first knew of their stories. It was a real story of struggle and passion.
The very first question that came to my mind when I first met them was, "Why do they teach in this area?"
If you're there you will also ask yourself the same question. For one, you need to travel for two hours riding on a habal-habal to reach the school. No electricity. Four classrooms for pupils from Grades I to VI. The parents, in the middle of the class, will ask their children to go home to harvest or to work in their farms.
This was what I discovered. For sure, we have almost the same stories in the remote areas of our region as well.
When I got the chance to talk with them I was able to define teaching as life and not as a profession. Why those people still share their knowledge to the kids in the remote areas despite the risk and dangers. Why until now the fire in their heart keeps burning to serve.
"The moment we see them read together, the moment they ask simple but sensible questions, it makes our heart cry out. It answers the question why we are still here," said one of the teachers.
"Dangers will always be there and it is everywhere, I will not teach here if I'm not dedicated to my profession. I consider these kids as my children. I want all of them to be successful," she added.
True indeed, our chosen field should not only be a profession but our way of life. Three to five years from now I'll have a very big party for my teachers from prep school to college because I am nobody without them. This I swear.
