What a horrible crime. What kind of people are these killing fellow countrymen in such a barbaric way? Imagine a death of 57 and still counting just because of political greed. There were innocent civilians, lawyers and journalists that were included in the killings. Reporters Without Borders announced that there were at least 12 and an undisclosed number of killed journalists, making this the deadliest of this kind of incident in the history of news media. This massacre should be condemned and the government should take action on this immediately.3 people like this

we shouldn't wait for the government to take action because they weren't really doing anything. i feel pity for those people much more with the journalists because i'm an aspiring journalist... :( it's so sad knowing that people at present have this kind of move in order to gain power...

It is sad that our country is dragged into this shameful incident. It is horrific and even now that the country is supposed to be a democratic country we still experience this abuses because of greed in power. It is indeed a bad reflection of who we are as a nation. Hopefully it is a wake up call for the present administration to stop paying for political debts because they are creating monsters in returning the favor.

Hello my friend djoyce71 Ji,
Such barbaric act and behaviour must be condemned by all society lovings. But, I recollect many years back when Rulers like Nadir Shah, Aurenjeb,and Jalianwalabag
Massacre, still reminds me and requires to be condemned . Further 9/11, 26/11. This is only order of the day and time. We all have to live as it is by maintaing coolness.
Wishing you a very happy Chrismas and New Year-2010.
May God bless You and have a great time.

umpf!!! i was so sad about it. Honestly, every time I watch news and see the story, I can't help but to be upset.
I really hope that it won't happen anymore. I really pray that our government focus on Mindanao and help those who are suffering. There are great number of people in there that needs help and assistance.
