These criminals should be caught and pay for their crimes.

May these people who died rest in peace and God bless their families.

They could declare state of emergency over the place but come to think of it if election related violence like this will happened all over the country the this could be a reason to postponed the incoming national election and they could stay in power.
Well another theory of a government sponsored terrorism.

A regime unable to protect its citizens does not have much reason to exist. Much more so when its omission is to cement its grip on power. Let us just hope it is not so.

For as long as Philippine politics is a family affair, this incident will happen again. It has been a matter of whose family is in power to protect vested interests (with a few exceptions, of course).
What else is new? In Davao, today it is Duterte and Nograles. Before (perhaps still true today) in Cebu, it was Osmena and Cuenco. In Danao City, Durano is the king. In Marikina, the Fernando couple. In Mandaluyong, the Abalos family. In Tarlac, the Cojuangcos. In Pampanga, the Arroyos. An endless list.
Feudal politics at work.

The Philipines is dominated by a tribal mentality when it comes to politics. It's why the country is still a shithole to this day, people only look out for their clan and don't give a shit about anyone else. And if killing your enemies like it was still the stone age was necessary, they didn't even hesitate to do so. It's disgusting, fucking disgusting!

Pay, Pay, PAY is that all u know arthur. What does that say about u. The country is out of control from north to south. the poor good people r scared and afraid to speak. the rich hide and flee. but u know ur military was told how to end this and they would not listen. 3 years ago u got the best advice from a very respected general. but somethings will never change there because to many r just to damn crooked

I knew from the moment I pressed the Post Comment button I would be in trouble. I requested my family to tell my kidnappers should somehow I would be snatched during my visits to the Philippines to "just shoot him". Brave is not I, but neither am I scared. The people is "my illusion". They keep me going back.

Nothing really to be scared about for they won't bother with non-celebrities like us. Brave you are for speaking your mind. It is a free country. Chaotic it may be.

Daily Horoscope for February 10

Pisces

You might feel like having a little flutter, but it's not a good day to do so, especially if you want to bet in coin of the realm. If you feel like a bit of extreme shopping, cancel that thought as well. It's a better day to be asking yourself some questions about what you really want out of life. Take a risk with your destiny, not your dollars. Put yourself on the line to learn something new.
