and I forgot

There's a reason why I entitled my previous entry "erect sensibilities".
Is it the weather?

All these thoughts in my head.. inappropriate topic for blog.

So much for ccerebral blogging. Let's talk narrative!

I was in San Pablo, Laguna yesterday. Jeland passed the bar! Woot woot! And he threw a giant party in San Pablo. There I met a few interesting people. The travel sucked. I hate commuting. Good thing Kerwin was there and the ever reliable Xerxes (mp3 player).

But before San Pablo was an interesting make-up class in PolSc14. We talked about the Armed Forces' role in Philippine politics. My professor is a consultant in the AFP which makes the discussion exciting - will his bias show? And for a while, it did show. In our previous discussions, he bashed the government, the present administration, the bureaucracy for all its flaws. But he was generally forgiving with the AFP's mishaps.

The probing and inquisitive student that I am, I asked about his views about the alleged 'extra-judicial killings (EJK)' that been tagged to the AFP. He went on to saying that (this is paraphrasing, not verbatim) there is no written policy on these kind of attacks. The AFP strictly abides the provision of human rights. However, if such activities do occur, it's on the commander-level and no order whatsoever has been given for these acts to be carried out.

I was like.. uh, yeah right. (narrative ends, haha, back to cerebral)

I don't know if he just implied that the AFP (or a minor minor branch of it) is indeed involved in the EJK. But whatever. All these talk of AFP is making me sick.

*unleash inner activist*

It's not a secret that two UP students, Karen and She are still missing. There whereabouts still unknown. But there's been talk about their disappearance. We all know where the fingers are pointed out. Same goes for Jonas Burgos.

So what is the purpose of this entry? This is to inform all of you that these kinds of evil exist in this world. And it is not enough that we make ourselves aware. It's not about taking this to the streets, too many has done that and failed to address real issues. Let's take it to the blogs!
