When I'm inside a jeepney, I heard an old lady taking about my grandfather. She said that he was the one who first to set foot on my birthplace. I was shocked of course.
My grandpa was a teacher. He's from Iloilo and went to Mindanao to teach. He became the principal of four schools. Then he met my grand mother. Actually, i have so many questions to ask to him but he's gone already. He was murdered by an unknown thieves.
Even though I haven't talked to him and haven't seen him yet, I know that someday I will get to know him better and ask him the things I'd like to know. Who knows he'll visit me in my dreams..
I know that when people heard the place Cotabato the first thing that comes in their minds is,"isn't that a dangerous place?? I only answer them with a smile. As far as everyone know the place Cotabato was famous because of bombs, killings and other crimes. But for the information of everyone, it's a beautiful place. A place where people help each other to survive. A place where natures are preserved. You can see many kinds of fruits and plants. TUNA CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES is found at General Santos City which is a part of Cotabato. The world's boxing champ is from Cotabato itself. It's not the kind of place to be afraid of, it's the place to be proud of. No matter what other people say, I will continue to change it's image to everyone just to prove that it's a wonderful place to make friends and to enjoy the beauty of nature.
