Sad and Angry for the Maguindanao Massacre in Mindanao I was perplexed when I received a message about the Maguindanao massacre from my bestfriend who is working in NBI. Borned and hailed 30 minutes away from Sharif Aguak, Maguindanao, I knew that this feud between two Muslim families will escalate into a bigger war which will for sure kill many including Christian civilians. My bestfriend was indignant because her own father was also murdered by this same group who are now into this killing spree. After few messages, I just told her my wishes for justice and peace. For me, it is just one of the common scenes which I have been accustomed too and part of my life as one of the locals from the nearby place. I thought I will be once again one of those listeners over the radio through the internet who monitors the situation from the far away land. I was mistaken. Just as I was preparing myself to work, I received a call from my mom all the way from home. I knew that its an emergency. The news was; my grandfather and my aunt who serve as the lawyers of the Mangudadatu family were among the victims of the massacre. They were shot and buried in the area while they accompanied the group on their way to the Office of Comission on Election to file the certificate of candidacy. I confirmed the news when I saw the list of victims posted on the online copy of Philippine Daily Inquirer. My God and Why were the questions I uttered. I felt the pang and surge of anger. I talked to my bestfriend and we shared the same feelings. She lost her dad who headed the Narcotics Division in Maguindanao 3 years ago and now I lost my grandfather and my aunt. We both knew that these deaths will just turn in vain and justice will just become a far away dream because the main cause of feud is the dirty game of politics. JUstice is defined differently along the ARMM areas in Mindanao and for sure the Arroyo government will not compromise their political interest within this place. It is sad that both Muslims and Christian along this area define justice according to how they perceive it. In the end, just like any other families who experienced a painful lost of their loveones in the highways of Magundanao and Sultan Kudarat, I have nothing to do but to pray that my grandfather and aunt will find peace in their final resting place and advise my mom not to serve in the up coming elections. |

 Justice... Justice for these victims... Let's haunt those killers and punish them!

as i said, justice is already a fossilized term, political interest is always the language known.

The barbaric and brutal massacre in Maguindanao shows the total breakdown of security in parts of Mindanao where many women and their families live in dehumanizing poverty and violent conflict.
