Reflection Zamboanga Seige

Zamboanga Seige and Me As I was scanning my Facebook newsfeed, a post form my sister struck me and in that post she was asking if it is true that the members of the MNLF group were able to enter our city. I can still remember the tincture I felt that dawn, the feeling that I dont k now where to put myself because my mom, dad, siblings, niece, nephew and relatives argon staying at Tugbungan an adjacent barangay to Barangay Mariki employ speedboat. Aside from that I am trembling because of the fear inside and step to the fore of my system.That was Just the start of the 20 days and counting sleepless nights I and my family experience. On the succeeding days, it was more horrifying and nailt- stopping. As I visualise the gunshots and explosions my heart Jumps and stops to beat for a second. l, as a Zamboangena sustentation in this city for 21 years, am not used to hear and experience such things. From that on, my past 20 days was never normal. I am eternally alert and am living m y life now in fear that one day I might posit off up losing several(prenominal)one approximate to my heart or the barangay where I am staying might also be ttacked.My normal routine like doing my thesis, press release to school and having quality time with friends and family was cut off. With the attack of the MNLF everything for me was shut put down from the progress of my thesis to the point our business was force to be close referable to the shutting down of the Zamboanga Port. Everything for me was a mess but contempt the frustration, I extended help by disseminating verified information done Facebook. As a mass communicator, I should make out something despite the crisis we are facing.Since I cannot submit myself to evacuation centers to personally help due to security purpose, what I did was spread helpful information in Facebook and through text messaging. My Facebook feed became a home for information and I set aside the narcissist inside me which I turn over th at an Atenean should do in times like this. Although I am sad that still some of us are insensitive of whats happening around especially in the city. There are still a number of Ateneans that post non-sense immobilize and their selfie despite the alarming nd heart breaking event we are facing.Now as all of this continues which is I dont know any more who to believe and who is telling the truth, my life or should I say all of our lives is somehow destroyed especially to the most affected. All I can do now is hope and pray that this crisis will be over and whitethorn Allah bless and guide the decisions of our leaders and lastly guard their decisions that it will always be for the greater good.
