More than a year ago in May 2000, small bombings took place within the shopping malls of the Philippines’ capital, Metro Manila. Though not many were injured and very few died, people were scared.

The youth in the Philippines was more or less just as shocked by hearing of the event in America as much as the next person anywhere in the world. We are sad. We are scared. We are tired of discussing the depressing topic but feel there is nothing left to discuss amongst ourselves. But well… we see and hear of poverty and destruction everyday in our own country.
