No More Fear
Good bye Jolo for now.
Fear preceded me the first time I set foot in Jolo in September of 2008. I never dreamed of going to Jolo, not even for adventure. But work pushed me there.
In the last 12 months, I had to visit the island every month to do the task given to me. Those visits were coated with haunted nights and one explosive night while I was sleeping.
I thought colorful events only happened at night. I was wrong.
A bomb exploded last month that killed 2 and wounded 40 others. It happened along the street that I regularly pass by every morning. It exploded at 7:30 in the morning. I usually pass by that street at 8:30.
I heard the blast because I stayed nearby. I was preparing myself to work.
Early this month was my final trip. Upon my arrival, I was told that another explosion was heard last night.
No more fear…, I am not afraid anymore.
