The illegals. Whoaredey...?

I don’t know what kind of people are these… trying to make money out of other people suffering. I keep on asking how useful our Philippine National Police on handling these high profile illegal activities. Is our institution who’s function is to protect its citizen being useful defending the common people specially those who advocate for peace and fair justice against those who manipulate our laws for their own economic advancement.

In Palawan, there are only few people who are in the forefront of advocating the interest of the common people against greedy well connected groups or individual. We’ve seen and witness the brutal conclusion of one of the few respected journalist in Palawan. Dong Batul. With all the warnings and death threat he has been through it didn’t stop him of pulling out the truth out of the systematic political maneuvering he is against to.

As I run through the April 9, 2008 issue of www.inquirer.net regarding another respected journalist in Palawan receiving death threat, I couldn’t imagine why they are doing this, who are the people behind this dealings and who are they beholden to.

If it is work related, would they be happy and contended if Mr. Anda stop what he is doing? Reading the materials posted on palawanreport.com, are we going to act stupid on who’s behind all of these. Yeah…. Because our law says… blah, blah…. isn’t the same law these people are using to hide their wrongdoing? Or it is because the authorities who are responsible protecting us are just doing what they can and not what more they can to unearth the individuals behind this? Maybe they have limited resources and the information GIVEN to them is not enough. Yeah. Or maybe this is the product of our authorities inability to uncover the mastermind behind the various illegal act previously committed. Is this the reason why this situation just keep on happening in our province?

Are we not learning from experience or have the basic common sense that these individuals would do their act that is not obvious and beyond the eyes of our authorities to see and comprehend? That they are doing the extra-ordinary things to hide their wickedness. These people would also strategize on how to deplete the accusation against them and sometimes create a scenario to confuse the investigator and the public. Worst is if the core of their investigation is rooted on the hand of the few questionable and unreliable witnesses. Are you just have to wait who comes first? We’re are you going, North or South?

There are still a handful of people who are capable of doing what is right. A few willing to risk and give whatever goodness they still have against those who’s primary concern is to advance their personal interest whatever the consequences is. Isn’t what we call greediness?
