About me

Blogger:
Unbeknownst to strangers who heard him sing in videoke, Crooner KR Guda did not have formal training in music, apart from a brief stint as a bass voice singing "Times of Your Life" during high school. Nowadays, he busies himself writing about politics and culture and studying photojournalism. As a journalist covering human rights issues, he is what can aptly be described by that John Berger quote: "Truly we writers are the secretaries of death." (Thanks to newly-sanctioned poet Teo Marasigan for that one)

Professor Philip Alston, UN special rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions, presented his initial report to the media last Wednesday. The report essentially contains his findings that the Armed Forces of the Philippines is largely responsible for the killings that have largely targetted unarmed, civilian activists. He described the military to be "in a state of denial" on its members' and officers' culpability in the spate of murders. Alston vowed to bring to the international community the issue.
