What is happening to the Philippines? We have government officials that are bent on emptying the country’s coffers and transferring funds to their personal accounts. We have blatant sexual immorality and adultery being displayed among celebrities and they are being praised for that.
And now, 47 people have been killed (so far the body count) in Maguindanao, allegedly because of political rivalry. What happened to us? What happened to this nation that has so proudly claimed to be the only Christian nation in Asia?
My heart bleeds for the families of the victims. Okay, let us say that these people may not be so innocent at all. That they also have their share of violence, etc. But do they really deserve to die like this? And who are we to put judgment on them and be above the law for that matter?
I condemn the killings in Maguindanao. I pray that the perpetrators will be brought to justice. I pray that merciless killings and atrocities will stop in our country. I pray that this country will turn to God and really believe in Him. Only then will we truly experience prosperity, peace, and freedom.
