The death toll on the infamous Maguindanao Mass Murder on Friday (November 20, 2009) has now reached 52 as of Wednesday noon today, GMANews reports. This was confirmed by Chief Superintendent Felicisimo Khu, head of the Task Force Alpha, which spearheads the initial probe and retrieval operation for the victims.
Meanwhile, an International Watchdog has named the Philippines as the World's Most Dangerous Place for Journalists to work, due to the inclusion of at least 12 journalists among those whose bodies were recovered.
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) states that, "under the current government the Philippines has become the most dangerous place in the world for media workers. At least 74 journalists have been killed during its eight-year tenure, yet the [Arroyo] government has not acted to end the culture of impunity. At last count, only four convictions had been secured.”
The question that still rings in my mind to this day is that, "Where is the Logic in Killing People just for the sake of Politics?"
Can anyone give a convincing answer?
