Manila Regional Trial Court(RTC) Shooting

While I was thinking if I'll go to Manila Local Civil Registry today to make a follow up regarding my change of name on my birth certificate,a news was being flashed on my television screen,earlier this morning,there was a shooting incident right there at Manila RTC,former Misamis Occidental Mayor Reynaldo Yap has been killed and 2 others were wounded!Because of this,City Hall authorities ordered all employees and all those inside to leave the City Hall premises.City Mayor Alfredo Lim admitted that they need to buy metal detectors,the reason why anybody can bring deadly weapon including a gun and killed somebody without a sweat.But i wonder if this will work knowing how they inspect things,all they need is to be vigilant and strict policies.

It was just one among many courtroom shootings that happened in the country. It's about time they have to tighten the security there where most criminal cases are being heard of.I for one noticed a lack of men in uniforms inside the court while my annulment case was still being heard at Manila RTC ,in fact,not even one was present :-(.It just showed how lax our government officials are,not forseeing these kind of incident,I just hope this will be the last one that a person got killed due to lack of securities and hope this will serve as a wake up call.

I texted a friend who works there if they were ok,i was told they were good but they were asked to go home.And because of what had just happened,the people who's making follow ups regarding their documents,peope who do business there,and the people with scheduled hearings today will go empty handed.Well,that's how it is folks.....sigh.....

No need for me to think twice if i'll go there or not,for sure i'll stay home...wink ~ _^

Courtroom shooting

Last month,we were shocked by the news of Glorietta explosion,it was followed by the Congress building bombing last Oct.13 and just a day after that,a shooting inside a courtroom Las Piñas hit the news.

Did i read it right?in a courtroom?It was said that a woman and her lady lawyer were waiting for her annulment hearing inside the courtroom when suddenly a man appeared from nowhere,shot and killed the two women.It turned out that the suspect was the ex husband of one of the victims(more...)

Come to think of it.If we are not safe in the mall,in the senate house,definitely not in the courtroom where you expect these places to be flooded with men in uniforms,where do we think we're safe?in our house?in the street?well.....

Ahhh,the world is getting smaller and smaller.As they say,it's a survival of the fittest.We wont know what's going to happen next,how and when.It's like watching a suspense/thriller movie where we would wait and see who'll be the next victim.

I wish life will be far more better than we have now and i also wish that Mother Earth will be a better place to live in.But i also wish our authorities and the people will unite and will be more vigilant,be more cautious and be more protective so as not to happen such incidents like these.

A Rebel Attack?

Another bombing hit the country last nite (Nov. 13) when the south wing of Congress Building shaken by a big blast that instantly killed Basilan representative Wahab Akbar, the driver of another lawmaker and a member of a staff of yet another solon. It was said that others were lucky because it happened at 8pm where there were just a few people who stayed behind,if it happened earlier,surely,there will be lots of fatalities again like that of Glorietta Bombing.

Was this a rebel attack?Not so sure,authorities are still investigating on it but one thing's sure,only those who were involved knew what's behind it.All that we could do is be aware and alert we dont know when and where it will happen again.Let's pray that this will come to an end.
