Everyone seeks justice

HAVE BAT WILL STRIKE - Juanito V. Jabat   - The Freeman

I heard it on tv: "Mga bakuna para HIV natanggong sa Customs kay dili kabayran ang buhis (tax)." I only heard that. No further comment.

Everyone involved in the Mamasapano bloodbath is seeking justice. Even the MILF wants justice for its men killed in battle. Okay, some deserve the justice they seek. But, God, listen only to those who're deserving and pleasing, while turn a deaf ear to those who seek justice just to fill up the space in the tarpulin.

MILF fighters are being challenged to fight in an all-out offensive against the BIFF rebels. This will prove the MILF's adherence to the Bangsamoro peace process. Cebuano istambays are watching this development saying: "Anhi ta makita ang katag."

Have you observed this Mohagher Iqbal guy from MILF during the Senate hearings? He has impressed many tv watchers as softspoken and diplomatic in answering questions from arrogant questioners. He never raises his voice. He speaks impeccable English too.

Once Iqbal was asked: "Would you consider those who killed the still breathing SAF commandos as terrorists?" He answered: "Worse than terrorists."

It says here that the Phl is the fastest growing economy in the world this year (2015) second only to China. This according to Bloomberg's survey of world economies. Bloomberg is one of the world's highly respected analysts of world economies.

Pikit, a place in Cotabato often landing in the news pages of our national papers for being the site of clashes between government forces and Muslim rebels, is home to many Cebuanos, Boholanos and Ilonggos. They have been inhabiting Pikit since before WWII when the government gave away hectares and hectares of land to settlers under President Quezon's homestead program.

Residents of Pikit are Christians many of whom have vowed to hold on to the land their forefathers labored hard to own.
