Away from Home and Worrying

October 21, 2007

Everyday I open my laptop to view the news in two major Philippine newspapers..The Philippine Star and the Inquirer. Whenever theres a happy news home I become happy and when there are grim news like the Glorietta bombing…I feel so down.

Maybe some people in the Philippines think that Pinoys like us working and staying overseas dont mind what is happening in the Philippines but I guess 80-90% of us rejoice when there is good news about our country and get sad and angry when crisis and situations like this happen.

How can we invite our friends here to join us for vacation in Manila when we ourselves are not sure whether something wrong will happen to them while they are in Manila for vacation. Even now I am thinking what we will be doing for our two weeks holiday in December when the threat of bombings is always at the back of my mind.

I dont know how things will get better. If the main purpose of these bombings is to sabotage and bring down the current government, I guess a lot of us working and staying overseas will never have a chance to go back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Why cant we help the government improve the economy and maintain peace so that we can all improve our image overseas.

I pray that I could still see this in my lifetime. At least my two kids still have a good image about the Philippines.Maybe if we were not able to achieve this in our lifetime, my kids could do so.Amen.
