Sa Dako Pa Roon


Ilang sangang daan kailangan tatahakin
Ilang bundok kailangan akyatin
Ilang karagatan kailang tawirin
Upang ika'y marating...?

Ang puso'y bulag na naghahanap
At ang kaluluwa'y tigmak ng pananabik
At pag- alala
Ikaw kaya ay madatnan....?
Sa dako pa roon ng aking paglalakbay

Sa pag-iisa
Tila tukso sa gunita
Pinupuno ang puso ng agam agam
Natatakot sumuong sa lambong
Ng bukas
Ikaw kaya madatnan...?

Sa dako pa roon...
Sa dako pa roon...

Umaasa na di lamang ika'y masilayan
Kundi ang matagal na hinanahanap
at sa wakas hihimlay sa kandungan
Ng kalayaan....

An Insider’s Account on the Forensic Investigation of the Nov23 Ampatuan Massacre

The November 23 Maguindanao massacre have shaken many of us. I was in a place with the only access to the outside world is through a 2-channel television when the news of the carnage broke out. Thus, the magnitude of the incident only sinks in the next day when I read it on the papers. A colleague had to make a trip to the City to buy the papers. Scanning the news, a victim’s name from the media caught my attention. A chill ran through me, it was one of our Council of Peoples’ Representatives from the Bagobo tribe, Mr. Napoleon Salaysay, from a local community paper in Cotabato City. I did not have the chance to get to know him fully, but I feel a deep sadness, not only for him but also for the rest of the massacre victims and their grieving families.
