A 19-year old student from UPLB got raped and killed by a
shot on the forehead—according to police reports, by two men who were security
guards no less—a few days back.
I read the news from the internet, belatedly, and I’m still shaking and screaming from the inside (although
silently, because I’m around people). For Grace Given, the world has ended. Why
did they have to kill her, why?! They had already raped her, and it would have
been very painful but she could have had a chance at life. She could have had a
chance to heal from the trauma and the sickness after the incident but these
two merciless guys robbed her even of that. Why, why, why?!
It maddens, drives me mad utterly, to hear about
Grace’s sad, terrible fate. I read somewhere that she was a dedicated student,
and even got an uno for a recent research paper. They had absolutely no right
to rob her of her future, and her parents and family a dear loved one.
I’ve found myself in tears for Grace, even though I don’t know
her. May God bless her soul. And may justice be served, whatever that amounts to now.
