Personal Reaction:
The NCLEX last July has 37,513 passers. For me, The demand for nurses in the country and abroad these days are not so high. Not like during the year 2000's, nurses that year where in demand abroad. Working as a nurse here in the Philippines is very hard. Especially these days, the prices of the goods today are very high. Having yourself enrolled in a nursing course is very expensive. And I think our nurses should also receive high salaries, because studying and doing medical procedures is not an easy job.

New probe set for recent wave of killings


The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) said the sheer volume of summary killings in Davao City is prompting the agency give the city a special eye.

Regional director Alberto Sipaco said summary killings are happening  elsewhere in the country there is “wholesale number of killings” in Davao City.

NO WITNESSES. CHR regional director Alberto Sipaco gestures with his figures to describe how slim are chances for the summary killings to be solve without witnesses appearing to pin down the killers. EDGAR ARRO

After a two-month probe early this year on the extrajudicial killings widely blamed on the Davao Death Squad, CHR chair Leila de Lima is coming back next week to conduct another probe following a new wave of killings allegedly by the deadly motorcycle-riding gunmen armed with cal. 45s. Most of the victims were petty criminals many of them minors.

Cause oriented groups here said more than a thousand victims have been killed in a ten-year period of killing spree by the gunmen said to be state-backed since 1998.

The gunmen, after a brief respite after the March and April probe by the CHR, have returned with a vengeance killing more than 30 since August this year.

Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, known for his iron-fisted anti-crime campaign, denied any hand in the killings.

Sipaco called anew on the public to help identify the assailants, even as CHR admitted it has no single case to pursue for lack of witnesses.

 “I am calling the citizenry now to do their duty as part of the society,” he told a media forum this week as CHR invites local government officials, police and military to the next round of public hearings by de Lima which is set next week.

Personal Reaction

Nowadays, Davao City is in progress. It is now peaceful and livable like never before. Most of the people here in Davao are not scared of walking down the street during midnight. It’s because of the strong-fisted anti-crime campaign of the Dutertes. But behind this good news are the negative ones that change the image of Davao and its people.

Today’s issue is the summary killings in Davao city. It is protested by different schools, organizations and commissions. It is said that more than a thousand criminal suspect have been killed by the shadowy, 45 cal.-bearing gunmen said to belong to the Davao Death Squad (DDS) since 1996 in Davao City during the term of former mayor Rodrigo Duterte. As a student, I am against in these killings because the criminals have no chance of changing their lives and it is violating the human rights. Somehow, these killings show huge positive effect because it lessens the crime rate in Davao city. In short, Summary killings have a negative and positive effect in our city. Negative because it violates human rights and makes Davao city a dangerous city for tourists. And positive because it lessens the crime rate, threatens the criminals and makes Davao city peaceful.
