The Shocking Story of Julu

Last Sunday night as I was watching Rated K aired at ABS-CBN 2, I was shocked that even very young and innocent men of age 10-15 years old are already training to become future members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). It was really a very bad news upon hearing that those innocent youth particularly in Julu, Mindanao spend most of their lives training to become future true-blooded terrorists. Those teenagers are supposed to study at school rather than practicing how to use guns and other weapons. What's sad about this issue is that they can no longer achieve their goals and aspirations in life because they are already devoted to terrorism. They would even sacrifice their lives for the sake of their organization.

"The youth is the hope of our motherland," as they say. Now how could these teenagers live to that statement if their lives are not totally changed? What would happen in the future of Julu and to our country as a whole if htis dilemma is still unresolved? I just hope that our leaders are awakened on what's really happening to our country and they should set actions immediately to eradicate this problem in order to uplift the quality of life of the people. Let's also work hand on hand in the drive for worldwide PEACE!
