Hindi maubos na luha.

Kelan ba yun? Iyak ako ng iyak para ke Glyzelle at sa mga batang biktima ng karahasan. Kahit si Pope Francis hindi siya masagot, kung bakit hinahayaan ng Diyos na mangyari yun. Maraming beses akong umiyak, sa misa sa Tacloban at tuwing nakikita ko Ang aking mga kasamahan. I feel so proud of them. Parang napamahal na rin kami sa mga tao at puro papuri narinig ko pati text messages sa akin. Hindi nabawasan ng pagkawala ng food allowance ng ibang kasapi Ang tiwalang aming natamo. Proud na proud ako, sa ulan at araw andon Ang mga pulis natin.

Ilang araw Lang Ang nagdaan, hindi pa tuyo Ang aking mga luha ng marinig ko na maraming pulis sa Special Action Force (SAF) Ang namatay sa kamay ng mga terrorista sa Maguindanao. Pagkatapos makuha si Marwan Ang pinaghahanap na terrorista sa mundo, napaligiran ang 36 na blocking force at walang itinirang buhay. Isa Ang nakaligtas sa pagaakalang namatay na rin ito at Marami pang napatay sa pinagrupo na nakakuha kay Marwan. Isa ba itong kapalit dahil tagumpay Ang police operations at isang kahihiyan para sa grupo nila na maisahan. Kelangang malaki Ang kabayaran, buhay sa buhay at higit pa. 44 tinaguriang #44Fallen ang kapalit at maraming malubhang nasugatan an hindi na magiging normal Ang buhay kailan pa man. Ang mga naging bihag naman ay nakaranas ng karumal dumal na kamatayan.

Buong Pilipinas Ang nagluksa kasama Ang mga Pilipino sa ibang bansa at muling ipinakita ng mamamayang Pilipino Ang Pagmamahal sa kanilang kapulisan.

I never dreamed it would be me,
My name for all eternity,
Recorded here at this hallowed place,
Alas my name, no more my face.
“In the line of duty,” I hear them say;
My family now the price will pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears;
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest
My sword I pass to those behind,
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me,
And with heavy heart and bended knee;
I ask for all here from the past,
Dear God, let my name be the last.

SALUTE TO THE FALLEN SAF….

SANA Di na ako muling luluha nguni’t paano kung naulilang mahal ay unuwing walang ulo o walang kamay, paa at mata. Kung inalisan ng kasarian at ninakawan at hinubaran. Wag sanang magtampo Ang Pangulo na Di tangapin Ang medalyang alay sapagkat sa loob ng Ataul ay uniporme lamang ang nakahimlay sapagkat nabubulok na pirapirasong katawan.

Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo at ihandog Ang iisang buhay ay siyang panuntunin at sinumpaan. Hindi ang yurakan ang dangal ng mga tampalasan.

Hindi pa rin maubos Ang luha ko at tuwing masasagi ng alala ay tutulong kusa.

Charming can be disarming

LOOK: Charming cop eases tension in U.S. Embassy riot

ABS-CBNNEWS.COM,07/04/2014 7:20 PM

Anti-U.S. activists clashed with riot police near the U.S. Embassy in Manila on Philippine-American Friendship Day, July 4.  Protesters from the League of Filipino Students (LFS) and other groups called for the junking of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) which paves the way for expanded military cooperation between the U.S. and the Philippines.  Protesters also called for the abolition of the pork barrel system.

As anxiety intensified, a policewoman eased the tension and flaring tempers with her cool demeanor and easy smile.  Police Officer 1 (P01) Aurea Jane Manalaysay has earned a reputation as some sort of “celebrity cop” in the Manila Police District for being a head-turner among photojournalists.

Asked why she became a “darling of the press” Manalaysay quipped, “Well, because I’m the only girl here.”  She has been a riot policewoman for two years now.  She is assigned to the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) District Police Safety Batallion (DPSB) which handles crowd dispersals.

On being a woman assigned to this task, Manalaysay has this to say:  “If the boys can do it, then so can I.”

When asked how she handles violent protests Manalaysay said, “I can handle it because of our training. Even before we pass our courses, we are already drilled on issues like maximum tolerance.”

As the riot ended, Manalaysay packed up her riot baton and struck a pose for photojournalists.  “It’s my way of trying to shake off the stress because if not you’ll be a hot head.  You have to remember to keep cool,” she said before flashing her winning smile.
