Being in the Most Dangerous Place for Mediamen

Playing in the television was the interview with the wife of one of the slain journalists in the Maguindanao massacre. "Binaboy nila ang asawa ko," the woman uttered, her voice full of scorn and hatred to the suspects of the event beyond one's imagination.

From my peripheral vision, I sensed Mama's response to the video. Seeing tears form in the corner of her eyes, I felt a tinge of fear in my heart. I held a firm grip to the handle of chair where I was seated.

My father
is a journalist. And months from now, I would also be one.
