KILLING THEIR OWN KIND?

The killing of a notorious bodyguard of a town mayor in Isabela four nights ago has tongues wagging: was he eliminated because the bodyguard has become a burden of the town's top political honcho? That sooner of later he would be accused of coddling a criminal? The dead man was wanted for several killings in Tarlac and was in the police Most Wanted List in the North. He was given sanctuary in the town by the benefactor of the mayor--it was alleged that when he was still alive, he funded his political campaigns. Some say, he used to be Ferdinand Marcos bagman. /They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.--a memory of my ecumenical Iluko Bible translation years when I sat with deacons, pastors, priests and bishops discussing the right common rendition of the Scriptures.
