the photo exhibit entitled "mindanao war" is indeed a window of reality beyond doubt. everything is excellent. i was overwhelmed with divergent emotions upon looking at the photos. amazed and mournful. at the same time. reading the news in print and seeing the news on tv didn't give me the feeling that i felt while i was looking at the photos. remorse was all over, which enforced me to think over where i got that instinct. and later realized that perhaps it's the guilt of not being able to feel that much at the first time that i became aware of the raging war in mindanao. i have been writing about peace in mindanao for years. but it's only now that i felt hurt and crushing sympathy for the thousands of innocent people being caught between the war. lastly, i genuinely look up to all the brave photojournalists who were very daring to risk everything to let people like me realize things that should have been realized long before.
