(Naks may bayad yan) “Life is a boomerang,” she told me that one cold night as we were on the Rural Transit Bus raging its way from Pagadian to Zamboanga. It was half-past ten in the evening, the silence of the sleepy passengers only disturbed by the sound of the bus engine and the almost-mute volume of the tele-screen at the front showing some Hollywood movie. I was sitting on the aisle-seat beside her. She was seated on the window-side, her eyes looking through the window, fixed on the ever-moving glimpses of dim lights from the small residences along the road. She was in her own deep thoughts that time, as if looking at stars in the deep darkness of the night. “And what does it mean?” I finally asked after being unsure if I really understood what she said. She managed a sleepy smile upon hearing my innocent question, her eyes still wan...

Sino ang Tunay na Kaaway?

Ni Anak Iluh (Isinalin mula sa orihinal na artikulo sa www.anakiluh.blogspot.com) March 6, 2012 Bismillah. Ang Pagpupuri at Pasasalamt ay tangi sa Panginoon ng lahat ng nilalang, Ang Mahabagin, Ang Ma-Unawain, Ang Mapag-Patawad na Allahu Rabbul ‘Alamiyn. Salawat at Du'a para sa nabiy  natin, ang pinakahuling Propeta Muhammad Rasulullah (Sallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam). Mag-aalas siete pa lang ng gabing yun, Sabado, ika-2 ng Marso taong 2012, nang bumulabog ang isang nakakagimbal na namang pagsabog sa maliit na (lungsod) ng Sulu. May pinasabugan na namang isang tindahan sa may (town). Wasak ang kesame ng tindahang kaharap ng makinang ‘generator’ kung saan nilagay sa ibaba nito ang sinabing bomba. Parito’t paroon ang mga natitrang ‘shrapnels’ at mga basag na salamin mula sa tindahan ding iyon. Ilang mga tao din, ang noo’y napadaan sa lugar na yun ang nakahandusay na sa daan at sa gilid ng ibang gusali; sugatan, dugu’an, at dala-dala ang isang pasanin na bumigla sa kanilang lahat. ...
