Aftermath…
October 24, 2007While I've been thankfully free from the shackles of the debilitating writer's block that plagued me for months, I have opted to keep mum about much of the things that kept this side of the blogosphere buzzing with activity, from the drama of that was the UAAP Basketball championship to the comedy that the Desperate Housewives brouhaha turned out to be. To be honest, I've been preoccupied by the exciting developments we've been cooking up for all the bloggers here on I.PH and I have been more than content working behind the scenes, hoping that I might, in my own little way, contribute something of importance to the blogging community.
Then Glorietta happened. I followed it in the news, discussed it with friends and felt just as bad about it as most people. However, I was not compelled enough to write anything about it. Until now. I came across this email, which was posted in The Man Blog forums of all places,which knocked me out of my sweet comfortable apathy and compelled me enough to act. The first time I read it, it broke my heart.
It was written by a man named Carlo Cruz, who most of you have probably heard of by now as he's been interviewed in the papers, radio as well as TV. I do not know Carlo myself but he is the friend of the wife of a good friend of mine and while that might seem like nothing to some, it drove hard the point just how closely this hit to home. Nothing I could write would bear the same weight as Carlo's email, so instead, I am posting the entire thing here.
