bad news/good news

just right this very minute, i found out that carlo, half of my fourteen-year-old twin godsons, was recently kidnapped by a moslem. he was snatched from his school in digos, davao del sur and was brought to general santos city.

his father, a davao city fireman, had relatives in gensan and fortunately had help recovering his son after a week in captivity. i don't have the details yet but i'm sure this was a very traumatizing experience.

carlo and paolo's (the other twin) mom used to take care of me when i was a little girl and she worked in my dad's office up until the family moved to digos. they are handsome and very bright boys who have so much potential. i'm grateful that nothing more untoward had happened.

on the other hand, WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!!

teng, that's scary! I hope and pray that he wasnt harmed in any way.

it was! this is such a cliche...but really, you never expect such things to happen to you or to people close to you.

the family is closely-guarded now so medyo inaccessible, that's why i haven't had any updates. i can only hope he was unharmed.
