Who could we blame for the atrocities played out everyday?
In the streets, in the provinces, the people are under threat.
Who could we blame for the killings we hear in the news?
This is no everyday petty crime, this is something more serious!
Who could we blame for the trouble that’s with us right now?
The systematic “cleansing” of all the “political enemies”;
Progressive thinkers, on the side of truth.
Who could we blame for all the pain that their families feel?
Sometimes it strikes so close to home and makes us think of our mortality.
Who could we blame for the deaths of so many fighters?
Fighters for the common good, who fought for their beliefs.
Who could we blame for all of this?
The numbers keep rising, the answers still aren’t clear.
Can we put a stop to this wasteful exercise?
Many lives have been wasted; even more are still on the list.
Who could we blame for all the lives lost? Who could we blame for the pain?
In the midst of the turmoil, our freedom is under threat.
In the end, someone is responsible for all these criminal acts
The motives are political, the victims are the good.

To all who died fighting for the truth,
for what they believed,
and for the good of the masses.

Biased for peace, biased for truth

The health of society depends on how it is informed. Its current state depends on how infromation is delivered, and how accurate it is. This is where journalists come in. As the voices of their society, they have a large role in their community and they hold heavy responsibilities. Ideally, what society needs is a culture where peace and truth are acknowledged, nurtured, and protected. This is the responsibility of journalists. They are the ones who must see to it that these ideals are maintained.

Journalists are tasked to share and convey what's going on around them. They affect society by what they express. This fact is evident everywhere. Different towns and cities have varied views on a single event because they have been presented various perspectives on the matter by their local mediamen. Information delivered accurately and truthfully means society will have the most correct views. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Irresponsible mediamen often contradict with the truthful members of the press, resulting in a clash of opinions, where one side is riddled with misinformation. Worse, in other cases, mediamen who selflessly deliver the truth, shooting at the wrongdoers, lose their lives meaninglessly, all because some do not wish for the truth to be uncovered and delivered to the powerful masses. These are the common problems around the Philippines, and these are major obstacvles in promoting the ideals of peace and truth.

Journalism is not a career path to be taken lightly. Journalists are responsible for delivering honest and truthful information, in turn maintaining society's health. Above all, the main ethos of a journalist is the maintenance of peace and truth. Journalists also have to be biased, not for one's selfish ends, but biased for the peace and truth he fights to keep.
