The entitlement is unreal. Imagine being the Vice President and still thinking you get to dictate how your own arrest should be carried out.
Yung isa: nawalan ng Anak. Brutal na pinatay.
From the orig caption:
“They killed him like a chicken, like an animal”
The deafening cries of Isabelita Espinosa could be heard for miles. She had just lost her son Sonny in one of the most brutal massacres since the beginning of the drug war.
A year ago, armed men opened fire on two shanties in Barangay Bagong Silang in Caloocan, killing 7 people. The supposed target was a known drug personality. The fatalities included 3 children and a pregnant woman. They were killed on December 28, the Day of the Holy Innocents.
The boys were poor, that was what they had in common. “If the suspect is rich, they’re set free. If they’re poor, they end up sprawled on the street,” Isabelita says.
“The killers who did this will never have peace. They may escape from the law of man, but they will pay. They will pay! There is a God.”
In the aftermath, their families formed one of the very first movements to call for an end to the mass slaughter of the poor. A year on, more than 16,000 have been killed. Countless mothers have lost innocent children. Their cries for justice are still deafening.
The December 28 incident has been dubbed as the Caloocan massacre.
The fatalities that day were:
Angelito Soriano, 16
Jonel Segovia, 15
Sonny Espinosa, 16
Cristina Santor, 45
Ednel Santor, 22
Kenneth Lim, 20
Analyn Dayamla, 25
and her unborn child
