Two weeks ago, in one morning, I was beating the time to report to office. Along the national road however there was a parade going on, men in a double file formation are moving southward, specifically toward the white carabao monument. Standby I thought for there might be traffic! Suddenly, I noticed pieces of papers, one-fourth the size of a band paper, somewhat thinly scattered under the waiting shade that is dwarfed by an acacia tree. I could say they were placed there intentionally for I could see clearly somewhat a poem printed in them. In verbatim, here are the texts.
At first, gibberish I thought; I could not figure out what message it is trying to convey. After some times, the poem or song that is seems noncommittal about the Malapiat case in the municipality of Rizal, Kalinga province where about 10 alleged squatters were killed during the demolition last June. Such a snafu was the subject of an investigation by an inter-agency task force to ferret out the real score.
Notice the fourth stanza! “Where have all the FOLLOWERS GUN Heartily donated during Congressional Run...”. Whewwww! Incredible!!! According to one media man, a neophyte native Kalinga candidate in the congressional derby for the May 14 elections allegedly donated guns and ammunitions to the Malapiat settlers, specially to members of a warrior tribe, in return of favorable votes for him. If at all that was true then that's it; politicians really contribute to worsening the peace and order snafu in this province.

Guns really are prevalent up there in that province.
