Dec 21
In relation to the post i made last Thursday regarding the peace and order of this little town, there were only 2 deaths during that blast but there were more than a couple of victims that are confined in the ICU of Mindanao Sanitarium and Hospital. And more than 40 had minor wounds. As of today – Sunday, more bombs were found within the city premises, luckily were found before they can destroy. There are more armies/soldiers stationed in shopping places and also in churches as the threat is still going on until after Christmas.

Today i was out in the city and this city used to be a buzzling one during Sundays but today, it was sleepy. There were still many public transportation in route but there were few people going around. Muslim brothers and sisters from distant places are not in the city. Concerned muslim brothers and sisters sent text advisories to their Christian friends that we should not be going around the city from today until after Christmas because there are still more bombings that will happen. Churches are still one of their targets. Buses too, so they urged us not to travel by bus especially in the early mornings.

The bombing happened Thursday afternoon and so Friday i was not able to go to the city. I was scared. But today i need to and i only bought food at Gaisano new mall. While inside the power was off for a minute or two and when it happened i was so scared to death. hahahaaha. I was waiting for the people to panick but they did not. I pushed my cart hurriedly to the counter to pay and hurried out. The power went off twice and i really dunno what was that for – was it an error or a warning and i really don’t care. I just want to be out of the building.
If you read this post, i would like to ask a favor from you – please include us in your prayers. Please pray that we will have a peaceful Christmas in this part of the country.
May peace and love resides in your home where ever you are today.
