I am a journalist
November 23, 2009 - Fifty eight people were killed at Maguindanao and Thirty four of those people were journalist.
Today we are commemorating the Maguindanao Massacre. It's the most tragic event happened in the Philippines, three years ago. Some were being burried underground still fighting to live for their love ones, but those heartless people who shot those innocent people with a machine gun, never had a second thought about killing those people doing their jobs. Haven't they thought about the families those people would left behind? I guess not.
Three years ago, I was a sophomore high school and a journalist, who wrote for our school newspaper. I had no idea what's happening in the world that day. I had no idea that fifty eight people were killed while I was at school, solving math problems, reading endless paragraphs and studying the human body, though I was a school journalist, it never crossed my mind that I'll pursue it as my career one day.
I am a Broadcast Communication Student, and one day after I finish my study I would be like them, just doing my job. Knowing all these facts, ripped my heart out like I'm broken hearted. I am a journalist like those people killed in Maguindanao, and I sympathy with those people left behind by those journalist killed three years ago.
Without a journalist people won't know what's happening around them. People won't know the real story behind those black curtains. So STOP MEDIA KILLINGS!
MY PEN ENDS IMPUNITY!
