One Month to Two Years
Today, October 23, 2011, is the 23rd month of the infamous Ampatuan Massacre.
Most of us may have forgotten this horrible event in our history. This issue may have been overshadowed by the recent issues in our country and abroad like the deaths of Steve Jobs and Muammar Gadaffi, the proposed Hollywood-like sign on Taal Volcano, and our ambushed soldiers in Basilan and Zamboanga Sibugay (and the apparent lack of balls of our President to respond on the situation).
But by letting this event just pass us by our consciousness, we seem to be condoning the perpetrators of this crime. Or depriving justice to the victims and their families. Or allowing the culture of impunity in our country.
He who does not punish evil commands it to be done.
Justice for the victims of the Ampatuan Massacre. Never forget. Never again.
