i also heard from one of my friends, who happens to be a reporter, that they sometimes turn off the cameras when a suspect is finally captured so that each of them (yes, including my reporter friend) could hit the poor suspect. i was appalled when i heard about this. what was more appalling was how my friend actually thought it was natural and sort of sop already.

anyway, is it okay if i repost this article in my blog? thanks for this really nice article.

I’ve written a sidebar about the Tagaytay 5 recently, these poor farmers who were abducted and charged with rebellion in April 2006. While reading old articles for the sidebar I couldn’t help but think, This happened just two years ago–how come I can now hardly remember this incident?

While in college, I wrote this in my internship journal: It’s as if I only think about whatever is on the news, and conveniently forget.

This is still the case, sadly. The daily news is a forest of cliffhangers, dead ends.

And with so many stories left with no endings, what criteria will you use to figure out which story to finish first?

I admire this article for its brutal honesty.
