Until now, Malaysia has been deporting Filipinos EVERY WEEK. Being a resident of Zamboanga City, I think it is inherent in Dayoc that he poses the question on human trafficking and halaw. I think the anonymous commenter just needs a feel of the south and its "danger" to better understand the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-23689212539636732612010-08-12T02:43:47.129+08:002010-08-12T02:43:47.129+08:00i guess the ending was a metaphor, but my interpre...i guess the ending was a metaphor, but my interpretation was a bit obvious, mine was that the fact that we will never know the fate of the people in that small banca, the same way we will never know the fate of the countless people who crossed that perilous border.<br /><br />oh, and i love the line "hopeless and helpless...broken down to reveal humanity in its basest and most repugnant"foursundaysofseptemberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837978062867550157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-39163275202487868192010-08-07T11:25:21.153+08:002010-08-07T11:25:21.153+08:00Ideas are not copyrightable and therefore cannot b...Ideas are not copyrightable and therefore cannot be plagiarized.
