what's in store?

The headlines appear to be bleaker and bleaker everyday. Exploitation of child labor in the Philippines and some countries, rather than being checked, appears to have increased. Child prostitution is also on the rise, so are the number of street kids who took to the streets as a safer refuge than those dysfunctional households they used to call home.
Armed organizations, in a zealous last ditch effort to recruit combatants are now, more than ever, opening their doors to inspire children of highland communities to join the “cause”. They defiantly take advantage of the naivety and ignorance of young lumads in ridiculously formulated hopes to strengthen their ranks.
So answer me this: kids, are they tomorrow’s hope or tomorrow’s tragedy? It is a question adults of today need to look deeply into their morale fiber to answer.
Meanwhile, child labor, child prostitution, incest, child recruitment as combatants continue to infect the dank and deteriorated alleys of our society. In addition to that, the growing drug trade and the decreasing age among those who partake in the pleasures of narcotic chemicals cause alarm among the concerned public. Hence, it is of perennial importance that we act without haste and without mercy. And attack we must. Swift and ruthless in any which way possible, to combat the hard and brutal blows this cruel society brings upon us. Then, maybe, just maybe, we may be able to answer the question above with lesser guilt than we already have.
