On the Crime of November 23rd

I spent a year in Mindanao and even in that short period of time, I fell in love with the land. I had to leave it with grave reluctance for what I thought was a higher goal. If my own situation is different, I would choose it anytime as a place to settle in. Mindanao is not Maguindanao nor the Mindanaoans the perpetrators of this crime. It is a part of the Philippines and its people are Filipinos.
