Bloody Friday

It must be the cold, eerie weather but I am really down. I feel bad. I hate the word death.

If there's anything likable about this job, it is seeing history unfold, it is getting to the scene before everyone does. However, if there's anything not to like about this job, it is for the same reasons.

Around 9 am, 9 bank employees were killed during a bank robbery in RCBC Cabuyao, Laguna. They were shot at their heads as robbers carted away only God knows how much. I could not believe some people would kill for money!

Imagine this: You are just reporting for work and you end up getting killed. It's one of the worst things ever, I bet.

And then a businessman in Bulacan also got killed while resisting robbers. Two more were killed in a Manila port shootout. Then a still unidentified man fell from a park lot in Trinoma, apparently not suicide. A teener was also killed in Quezon City during a building collapse. Can you still count how many people met their tragic death today? All these deaths in ONE DAY!

The China earthquake and the Myanmar cyclone are as devastating, if not more. Mother Nature has mastered the art of revenge.

  4. Haven't seen so much blood in my life nga. The regional police chief there asked me nga if bago lang akong reporter because he must have seen my expression habang nasa gurney yung mga bodies. Kahit na we confront death in our work almost every day, it's just never the same... They are not just numbers, they are lives, they left grieving families. Sana talaga mahuli ang mga heartless robbers.

  11. My tito was the last one to be killed by those demons. He even opened the vault for those robbers but still, they shot him on the forehead.
