from their eyes to ours.


The world is now scared to enter Mindanao, ever since the war broke in. We were scared also, but what can we do? We're already living in a place of chaos and mayhem; escaping it would be too late. It was too late for them...

Seeing the pictures from professional photojournalists made me think twice about the war ranging in Lanao. Bodies on the tv were not shown; they were censored, obviously not to scare the public with frightening images of dead people. They were on the ground, blood splattered out everywhere. It was horrible. Seeing such innocent people get killed in such a barbaric way made me feel dejected. 

We all want to stop this fighting. They wanted to tell us that listening to the news and sitting pretty all day is not the solution, the solution is to take action. 

*They must have had a lot of guts to have taken such pictures. I salute you. :)
