Honoring our martyred dead

FRANCISCO S. TATAD

THE whole city of Jolo is on a total lockdown following the twin explosions at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral on Sunday, January 27, that killed 20 civilians, soldiers and Coast Guard personnel, wounded 100 others, and shattered the peace promised to war-torn Southern Philippines by the January 21 ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law creating the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) .
