The horror: Our national shame continues

I’m afraid the photos published the other day of the demonstration led by the National Press Club and the National Union of Journalists protesting the snail pace of justice for victims of the November 2009 Maguindanao massacre do not quite remind the nation of how horrific that crime was.

These do not quite shock us to the reality that five years of hearings without a conviction bring us national shame. It is the biggest criminal negligence and incompetence of President Benigno Aquino 3rd, who has appeared so uninterested in bringing justice to the 58 people who died in the atrocity, including 34 journalists.
