I received several emails from friends and relatives inquiring about our safety in cotabato city. They are of course mostly from people who lived in cotabato before. This horrendous massacre in maguindanao have reached national and international concerns because of the brazenness of the perpetrators, who think they can do anything with impunity because they are that close to gloria macapagal and the arm forces of the philippines. Imagine a group of more than a hundred heavily armed men stopping a convey of vehicles in broad day light. They ambushed, killed, raped, decapitated not only their political opponents and supporters but also media men and other civilian motorists who were traveling the high way near the vicinity. So they think they can killl with impunity because they can deliver votes and goods; and that no local nor natiional authorities can discipline them as they are favored, condoned and fed by the most powerful men of the government. More likely, expect to see these killers get away from punishment. Scary to think that majority are still free roaming or hiding under protection.
But there is an all powerful judge who will hold some people accountable for creating the monsters and ills of the nation (Ondoy and all). If not now, in the next future for sure.
