Insight of the Article :
What are the effects of this event on our country?
The Maguindanao Massacre affected not only the our country but the world. It is considered as the most brutal judicial killing ever happened in the history of mankind. This will be the second anniversary of the killing and our fellow students from UP gave their prayers to those 57 journalist who were killed and to their respective families. This event proved that Filipinos can be united in seeking justice.
Reflection about the article:
As a student, we must be aware of the current events that is happening in our country. We must be involved in our own little way to show to the public that we care and that that we want change. Just like in the case of Maguindanao Masacre where after two years justice to the 59 families was not yet fully given. As student we will do our part like gathering in prayers , in writings , in play and other peaceful activities in school.
