today started out just fine. i went out with the bf this morning to do errands. we bought stuff etc. we stopped by the ticket office for our next trip. i was talking with the workers while waiting for the ticket when the manager arrived. he told them a certain person has been shot in the next town and to turn on the radio. when i was done, i told the bf (he was waiting in the car) to turn on his radio as well. he knew the man and his son, apparently. so he told we me we were going to look at the crime scene.
when we got there, there were a lot of usoseros and usoseras. it was your typical filipino crime scene basically. i stayed in the car, i am scared of blood and death! the bf went to investigate. after about ten minutes he came back. he told me to go take a look! hello??? so went with him and squeezed past everyone making usyoso. in truth, i only saw the lower half of the body, i didn't dare looking at the upper half (luckily, the man was facing the ground) after that, i went back and stayed in the car until we left. the bf became one of the usoseros and reported whatever information he heard to me every so often.
this kind of killing is very rampant in our place. women and men are not spared from this brutal killings. the sad thing is, the murderers get away with it. there often no leads and no suspects at all. i am against guns, honestly. the bf has his own licensed gun that he carries in a bag. i tell him how much i dislike it but he argues its for protection. the thing is, the bf can have quite a temper when provoked although he hasn't lost control yet. i'm just hoping it won't happen.
but more importantly, i am a little worried something like that will happen to him. he is a businessman, after all. i don't say it out loud, i wait for him to do talk about it. luckily, the bf is always careful and we don't always go out at night.
no one should be above the law. i hope there will be justice for this man and for everyone else who were killed before him. may he rest in peace.
