Security counts

Are we really secured nowadays?

With all the bomb threats, kidnappings, political unrest, peculiar diseases and a whole lot more of ruthless activities. Security at present is at stake.

Dangers are lurking everywhere. Every evil acts, be it on larger or smaller scope, contributes on making the society’s security at risk.

Every possible evil acts are rampant nowadays. Admit it or not but it is evident on our society. We cannot even distinguish the bad ones from the good ones. They cloth their selves as if they are innocent. Innocent people become involved on these crimes without knowing that they are. And mostly, the one who are harmed more are us, the innocent one. Isn’t it alarming?

Examining the status quo of our city, the Zamboanga city, we are confronted with maybe mild, but lots of these heinous crimes. Robbers, Murders, and the like are rampant nowadays. Looking on the micro level, a good example would be the beggars. Beggars who before just beg for money or for foods become more violent. They now force or even argue with you to give them what they are asking. Another is the thieves loitering down the streets. You wouldn’t notice that you were already robbed. And who would think that the robbers would be that decent. They look as if they were innocent. Going on larger scope, lately, the city struggled against MOA-AD, kidnappings, which were all over the city, the Ah1n1 which have already reached the city, the fight against the con-ass and a whole lot more. And these things threaten our safety.

These things, compared to other places, might be considered mild. The good thing is we seldom have bombs, gunshots and fighting camps but we cannot predict what would happen next.

In spite of these entire volatile situations, all we can and must do is to be VIGILANT, OPEN-MINDED, AWARE and ACTIVE. And let us just pray that this thing would not become worst.
