The Politician

Political Killings

Political killings, abduction, assassination what ever you may want to call it have been very rampant in this administration. There have been more than 600 cases of political killing that happened during the 6 year stay of our president. In just a small amount of time it was able to surpass the political killings in the Marcos Regime. There have been many demands to stop political killings just like what we’ve attended last Thursday.

One of the latest cases of political abduction was the forced abduction of two Students of University of the Philippines. They were kidnapped because of the mere allegation of being connected to the leftist group. This administration is desperate as I may say because they are accusing even the students and small farmers that may have “link” to NPAs and other groups that are planning to rid this country GMA.

In the candle lighting ceremony for the Political Victims, I have seen different kinds of participants ranging from political professors, students and even my former professor in RELSONE. I never thought that even Catholicism as a whole joins this kind of protest to stop political killings.

I asked my former professor in RELSONE why is he participating in such very political gathering and he answered me “Life is given by our Lord and it is very sacred, we must not do something that will hurt of even kill the life that was given to us”. Now I understand why the Church wants to end this kind of mischief.
