51 (BOMBING) DAYS HAS DEAFENED MARAWI RESIDENTS

9 more days into ending the MARTIAL LAW, civil society are consulting on the options of bakwits/evacuees and affected communities. 51 days of suffering, please leave us, enough is enough all ARMED FORCES FROM ALL SIDES .

We parted ways smiling, but deep inside worried. As I read the Article below, it sends shivers down my spine. Its the story of Kiram, who was recruited to the Maute Group because he was attracted out of adventurism and the lure of income. His revelations has very profound implication...
