Watching TV news on the OFW mother describing the circumstances of the tragedy, one can feel the anguish she must have felt upon hearing on her cellphone her terrified kids pleading for their lives before dying of multiple stab wounds.
Are the senseless killings a reflection of so many failures in Philippine society? Could blame be put on the seemingly poor implementation of the law like RA 9262, the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act supposed to protect the vulnerable members of Philippine society? Should blame also lie in the current practice of allowing more Filipinos to work abroad? Every administration since the 1980s has hoped foreign employment would only be a stop-gap measure to keep our economy afloat and to enable people to survive financial hardships, and that the time will soon come when families would no longer have to be apart. But millions of Filipinos continue to live like modern-day gypsies. Go to the ends of the earth, there’s a Filipino.
There certainly is a pressing need to find answers to avoid another tragedy similar to the horrific killings in Cavite. Equally gruesome are the recent killings in Negros Oriental that took the lives of Gov. Roel Degamo and eight innocent civilians mowed down by automatic gunfire.
