Feeling for Zamboanga City, Calling for Peace and Development

I have visited Zamboanga City three times—the last was about a decade ago. It always reminds me of the best seafoods I have ever tasted. This memory I would like to keep with me, as well as my appreciation of its peoples' arts and crafts.

Couldn't take the ugly sights, images, and sounds of war in the news.... Am feeling both sad and angry!

How and why have we become a violent culture? But I believe that the emergence of this culture has deeper historical, political, and economic causes. It is complicated; but when are we going to realize that military actions and senseless violence, as well as PR spins and media psywars, cannot resolve our nation's longstanding conflicts? 

Again and again and again, give peace a chance and take the political governance task of bringing about true socio-economic development seriously.
