But I will not wait to unburden myself of my rage at something that has been going on for some time but which, unlike Ces’ abduction, has not met with intense and scrupulous concern in this country. That is the wholesale murder of journalists in the countryside. Scores have been killed in Mindanao alone, and only the international organizations have seen fit to shout their heads off over it. A “culture of impunity,” they call it, suggesting the ease and frequency with which the crime is wrought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499859064694863448.post-86487372391000574102008-06-15T02:26:00.000-07:002008-06-15T02:26:00.000-07:00Ces should not be blamed for this, government has ...Ces should not be blamed for this, government has a treaty or agreement between NPA and some other anti-government rebel groups not to touch media people / journalist, but this Abu Sayaf group are really into their guts kidnapping people like Ces, as what ABS-CBN mentioned they should not pay ransom for this kind, they might start to kidnap every journalist they will encounter.<BR/><BR/>On the other side whats the Arroyo administration doing? Nothing, when the mutiny in Manila Pen happened Arroyo administration was so brave that they bring a whole bunch of soldiers and now they cant do anything? Mabuti lang sila sa pagnanakaw. Pero when it comes to people needing help wala silang matutulong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
