35 Degrees and a Drama

It’s april the 15^th and i’m punished by the steamy temperature of the day. Walking along the busy streets of Ayala, I decided to take a cab on my next stop to reward myself after making one positive morning call. I was about to request the driver to lower the volume of his radio when the news caught my attention. “A radio anchorman rushed his wife to the hospital for gun shot wound”. Getting more information on the subject, the cab told me account of the news. The question was, “was it suicide or was there foul play?”. Familiar with the radioman’s hard commentaries, I asked myself…”was it payback time or something?”. News anchor has a big effect to media since they’re the ones who feed us with political and national news updates. Most often than not, they target on the negative ones that will cause big effect to the people. And from these news comes out our emotions. Just like how I reacted while I was listening to the news.

See how peoples mind work? I am yet to know the story and here I am assuming things…how would I know anyway?  For us who watched the drama, we can’t help but sympathize to those relatives pushed, collared and handcuffed. I can only hear police stories on how they handle their catch, but seeing it happen LIVE on national television, brutally…there’s a feeling of fear. The tears and screaming that I heard while they were being arrested are still vivid in my mind. The daughters breaking voice as she request to leave them alone touched my heart. Truly, it should only be one domestic problem and for her, to be shown on national tv is an embarrassment to them. I’m on her side. I wonder how this will affect her and her younger sister. It’s our nature to react to these kind of news. And have compassion to feel the pain of those abuse and hurt. The drama is not yet over but life goes on and people will surely wait for the end of the story. Tonight, I offered my prayer to strengthen them…
