The recent bombings in Mindanao are quite alarming. Five killed in Cotabato City, and six killed and forty injured at two separate blasts in Jolo and Iligan City.
Are these bombings, in any way, related? Officials will easily shake their heads and deny any possibility that these incidents were related.
The chaos in Mindanao has been a longstanding headache for our government. Sometimes, it feels good to just sit back without having to think about such issues to solve on your own.
How about the government officials? How many times a day do they wince over such matters?
The gravity of this issue should push presidentiables and vice-presidentiables to include this at the top of their political platforms. But of course, it shouldn’t only be included and paraded around to get the candidates voted into office.
