Of Bomb Blasts and Bomb Threats

01.27.11

Persons who, without any reasonable doubt have been found guilty of inflicting unjust, uncalled for, and unreasonable hurt and pain to innocent civilians should have all orifices in their body filled with kerosene and lighted with fire in public. But before that is done to them, they should be forced to wear yellow and black stripes and should be used as car stoppers ("kalso") in ramped parking spaces in the metro.

Innocent lives have been lost because these a-holes make it their own vendetta to de-stabilize the country. We are already living in a third world country. Their stupidity will create a potential fourth level. Will our slogan be "Philippines, the first fourth of its kind!"? Not exactly visitor friendly. If our country is already "going to the dogs" will this in turn create a new catch phrase? How about "going to the cockroaches?" Flying ipis anyone? Eeeew. De-stabilizing the peace and order will not get you what you want. It will get you killed. Because once the Filipino people know who, what, and where you are, we will use "Bayanihan" to beat the crap out of you.

In my dream world, criminals like these are forced to write "I'm sorry, I will not do this again" (as public apology) using their own blood for ink and their fingers as pens in Commonwealth Avenue. It will be a supervised public apology with media coverage and legit race car drivers are allowed to use them as road cones. If they get hit, then that's their problem. If they survive, we go with Plan B, with an environmental twist, we use their bodies like a filtering system to clean the Pasig River (water comes in whichever hole and gets out of the other.)...we can only dream.

I pray for the families of the victims because they have to endure the trauma of losing their loved ones. It will never be easy, especially since their departure from this world was senseless and inflicted by terrorists. Lives have been lost and dreams shattered. These are things that can never be replaced again.

Makes you wonder. Is there still hope for the Philippines? Our beloved Motherland?
