Writing Project Musa Dimasidsing: Day Three
The Musa Dimasidsing Writing Project continues. Today is a busy day, but I am sincerely heartened, that two more bloggers have taken up the cause of writing for Musa Dimasidsing. A Task Force has been set up to investigate the murder of Musa Dimasidsing. But what would have been better is that if Musa hadn’t been brutally shot dead in the first place. But we make due with heavy hearts, and hopefully the killers and those behind the killing will get the full justice that they deserve.
Note you can still send in your entries until 12 noon today. The writing project itself has been extended until Wednesday of next week. Even if you’re not a socio-political blogger, I think this murder goes beyond politics, and goes to the heart of our humanity… So please join. Even if it’s just one paragraph, or one sentence, or one word. Thoughtfulness is all we ask.
Here are the entries for Day Three,
The Purple Phoenix writes a moving piece, Endless Belief in the Goodness of Humanity: Yet Musa Dimasidsing raised more than an eyebrow. He raised his voice. Now he is dead. This is the price he paid for being a fine Filipino citizen. This is the price he paid for acting like a civilized person. This is the price he paid for re-establishing the goodness of humanity.
Armorkram writes, Musa Dimasidsing: Damn us for the day that has come, when the truth can be easily buried with the single shot of a gun. When the very sanctity of life is desecrated, what future do we have when holding on what is right can get us killed, when the truth can be bended and questioning heads are popped. I weep for Musa Dimasidsing, if justice still remains if even but a grain, let him be light that will awake us and embody that justice, I pray that he be immortalized, the person who died for the sake of truth.
An Honorable mention to The Sun Star Cagayan Editorial, Shooting: It’s high time for these officials to experience the hard and unforgiving hand of the law in implementing the elections there. If need be, emergency rule ought to be implemented there. For only when these killers and violators get cracked down can there be smooth and peaceful and fair elections.

The problem with the killing of Musa Dimasidsing and the recent abduction of two Maguindanaoan teachers in the port of Cebu while heading for Manila is the possibility that the cases would not be solved.
It may be back to business as usual, as I wrote in an earlier post in my blog, for the warlords in Maguindanao. This, however, is something new for the teachers who were brave enough to to expose the electoral fraud after decades of practicing it.
The Maguindanaoan teachers will be too afraid to try to expose fraud during the next elections if the culprits will not be put to justice now. After all, those who exposed the electoral magic this elections did not live a month after their expose while the killers are still in power.
You’re certainly correct Karlo. I don’t really know what happened to the four that surfaced along with the protection of Senator Lacson, but I hope they are protected…
There were quite a few in Maguindanao, because of the wholesale cheating they exposed with regard to the military “kidnapping” them…
