I can't seem to focus on my work these days. I am affected with what's happening in Mindanao particularly in Lanao del Norte for the past three days. Maigo, the town next to Kolambogan (that was attacked by barbaric forces) is my mom's hometown. In fact, my mom was just lucky to leave the place a day before the attack. She was on vacation for their annual fiesta and to reunite with her brothers, friends and family.
What I see on TV, is not at par with what's happening in Lanao. HOw can they ruin the lives of people trying to live happily? Both Muslims and Christians are living a harmonious life in Mindanao, but these insurgents are ruining it. How can a man looking for peace kill and mutilate bodies of civilians even children?
I want to remember Lanao as a very relaxing and beautiful place, filled with glorious people. I have wonderful memories of mom's hometown and I want to stay it that way...
