Do You Still Feel Safe?
I happen to know someone whose relative got killed in a bank heist several months back, and another one who lost a love one for attempted rape, right inside her home. I also know people whose cell phones got snatched or lap tops get stolen inside their car. Establishments are setting up CCTV’s to protect their customers and themselves. Cars have security features to protect it from thieves, and to track it down when stolen.
In developed countries, there are students shooting students in their own universities… and so on and so forth.
Isolated cases or are we now living in a dangerous society? Just asking…
AD: security systems

I think I will have to say this – we are never safe, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Violence has been here even before the time of Lapu-Lapu and I suppose that media plays a big role in hiding them or exposing them, or depending on what the President wants the country’s image to be.
I remember the former President Marcos even allowed the live news of the electrocution of a group of rapist. One can call me barbaric, but if I don’t care if this will be the best solution to warn these potential criminals.
Unfortunately, we Filipinos are very kind that is why we are being abused.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Well for me these are just isolated cases. At any point in history and anywhere in the world there is no such thing as being safe. It is always best to be watchful at all times.

I never feel unsafe and I don’t worry about my physical safety. I do live in the country so perhaps that makes a difference and I’m grateful that I don’t have to worry about crime where I live.

Times are hard and will surely get worse in the coming months. I guess we just have to be vigilant and protect one another. More importantly though, we need to continue trusting each other and believe that despite all the bad things around us, it still pays to do the right thing.
I like your comment, “it pays to do the right thing”
well, it’s hard nowadays… we should always be wary of the people around us and if you commute in a train or in a jeepney, you always have to suspect people beside you. we can’t even leave or belongings for a second and we sure know that we can’t really walk safely in the streets anymore…
