massacre and marshall law on december

I've always been a fan of Christmas. Not just the season nor the celebration, because my social network is but too limited :) I love Christmas because of the spirit. Yeah, so we've all heard about this being said, but yeah, it is true. For me, there should always be something to look forward to, milestones to some, for me its just a simple Decembery-feel, which comes only once a year. It is quite sad, because the feeling is becoming less familliar now...

The recent events did no good in elevating my "looking forward to" feeling. Instead, it is quite a depressing reality that struck an area near my hometown (where is home now ba). The inhuman, brutal and grotesque massacre led by a known Clan in Maguindanao caused the turmoil. This might have been a normal incident to the people in that area, Im not saying it is right though, fortunate or unfortunate it is that this time the terrifying "siga" of a clan involved journalist, who just happened to be there at the most sorry of all times( God does work in the strangest of ways). Fortunate for the forever remaining quite inhabitants of that area, because this time voices are heard from all over the country, all crying for justice. Unfortunate for the clan, after years of ruling the area, this is their (as my daddy would say)downfall . Finally, something is being taken noticed of.

There are annoying implications of what this clan has done to their brothers and sisters, and that is to taint the name of their religion and those not even involved to the clan-wars.

Many are still in doubt as to how this event in history would turn out. Knowing our very corrupt government and the interconnected secrets hidden by too many powerful persons involved, it is indeed very uncertain wether justice will be served.

It will definitely not be the end of clan wars, if more, it might even be beginning of some plots. It may not even be an effective warning to all corrupt officials. One thing is sure though, a lesson is learned and will be learned out of this happenings. It may not be fully captured by many as of the moment, but in the days and years even to come. Lets just continue to pray, that after all that has been sacrificed it will serve its purpose.
