I HATE IT!

I hate it!

I hate it when peace is disturbed!

Disturbed by people who love anarchy.

Anarchy is what they want to impose over democracy

Democracy that we are enjoying,

Enjoying because our great grandfathers and mothers fought for it.

I hate it!

Rebels who sow chaos and hatred in Mindanao,

Pretending to be people of Allah (SWT),

But who do not follow the Holy Quran,

Nor the noble teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Who dont respect our brothers in faith,

Nor accept our brothers in the Gospel.

They just want the Muslim land for their own,

Because the truth is they are hungry of power.

I hate It!

This hunger for power resulted in war,

War that killed Muslims and Christians.

They dont realize that the blood of the people they killed

Will be required of them on the other life.

Allah (SWT) will require of them, every drop of blood that was shed

For this injustices civilians have suffered under the hands of their own brothers.

The Man In The Mirror

The Man in the Mirror

I can see the man in front of me smiling. That smile! a smile of the one who after all the hardship and the storms that comes in his way had made it this far.

He is the man who have learned not to depend on any body and still beleives that no man is an island. He is the man without the physical beauty but has the goodness of the heart.

Who is this man staring at me with tears flowing from his eyes? Will he drown me with sadness? If only the mirror could see what this man is holding in his heart. If only the people could see beyond the skindeep.

If only the people will see what this man is trying to show. If only he can have his voice be heard even outside the mirror. If only people will not only look but see.

The man without a voice. The man hiding within himself. The man trapped in the mirror.

Life is full of tough choices

Life is full of tough choices.

Life is a never ending highway with so many crossroads. Where am I to go next? After bidding goodbye to so many friends from different multinational corporations and offices I have worked with, I am now into another crossroad.

Where am I to go next? To the right or to the left? Will I stay in my lane on the highway, cruising my comfort zone or choose to break it and take another challenge in my life?

Oh Life! its full of tough choices, indeed!

The War in Mindanao

The war that is happening in Mindanao is not only recently but since before I was born, it is already there.

During the Marcos time up to the current regimen, they never stop bombing or militarized Mindanao. There is no peace there for a very long time.

The current issue of the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity that has hugged the limelight that even those people who don't seem to understand the history of Mindanao has dipped their hands on the issue by forwarding emails with hate content against the Muslims in the Philippines. These emails have been running around the web highway through ignorant people who think that by forwarding those messages make them a nationalist or a true Filipino.

Not realizing that they become prey to those who want to sow chaos in Mindanao and disseminate propaganda against the Muslims, they keep on forwarding disturbing commentaries and unverified documents. The issue of having MOA with MILF for the BJE is very sensitive that if not handled with care by those people with personal interest and those people who truly and wholeheartedly loved the Philippines, will result in civil war or moreso of religious war between Christians and Muslims not only in Mindanao but in the country as a whole.

I appeal to my fellow Filipinos to be vigilant but let our democratic system in the hands of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary work for a lasting peace and order not only in Mindanao but for the whole archipelago. Let us trust that these leaders will do their duty to preserve the unity of the people for the common good of the Muslims and Christians.

We have given them the power to do what is right not for themselves but for us. We have voted for our leaders to serve our country, to serve us, and not us to serve whatever they desire for their personal gains.

Be careful my fellow Filipinos in forwarding unscrupulous messages and commentaries. Let us discern if their intention is for the good of everyone. We will not loose our being a true and genuine Filipino, by blood and/or by choice, by keeping ourselves, stop for a while and think if what we will forward will make us proud or we will regret what we have done.

My dear brothers and sisters, be humble as a dove but be wise as a serpent.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Long live the Philippines!

I want to thank the composer of the song that I have shared. Its my song since my college days.
