Coincidence

The bloody hostage drama is for sure a cliche to be a blog article. It is still the headline of newspapers, social networking sites, conversations and even international news. It is the worldwide bone of contention. I can't turn a deaf ear on it. It is idle to do such thing with all the hundreds of ceaseless mouth agape everywhere discussing this BIG issue. But, I would just like to share my opinion and reaction about it.

I was focused on my laSt homework so I could sleep early. Yet, I was interrupted when mom turned on the television and asked me to listen to the news. I heard my bones,turned to metallic form, collapsed all together after seeing the actual way of arresting the brother of the hostage taker, hearing the firing of bullets and seeing the rescued hostages weeping and with the trauma look. It was awful. It was still Monday but, my good mood shifted to a punched face saturated with deep sorrow.

No one expected, no one wanted the outcome of the hostage drama to be so intense that it eradicated eight lives. It seems coincidental since the inauguration of the president was held at Quirino Grandstand same with the hostage drama. This tragedy brings a sequel of problems which will be the start of the major challenges our president will face and ourselves included.

The fault of one is the fault of eveybody. There are many ways to help solve this problem. We should not just be seating in our comfort zones forever doing nothing at all. We're all involved. The problem with us, Filipinos, is that once a tragedy happened and the case is mainly centered on the victims and the government officials, we just talk about it and criticize over the mistakes of others. Let's not just adhere ourselves in just conversing with others about the issue. Let's do something in anyway to help.
