Such a long wait for justice
Chit's death came in a split second, but the resolution of her case took almost 13 years, which is way too long.
Chit's death came in a split second, but the resolution of her case took almost 13 years, which is way too long.
Bilang paggunita sa ika-64 kaarawan ng batikang mamamahayag at guro na si Lourdes “Chit” Estella-Simbulan, narito ang “Tatlong Kuwento Para Sa Batang Pilipino,” isang libro na naglalaman ng mga kuwentong pambata na isinulat ni Chit para sa kanyang tatlong pamangkin noong siya'y nabubuhay pa.
Her death was reported as an “accident,” but the tragedy that occurred a decade ago could have been prevented.
Simbulan, who would have turned 60 on Aug. 19, made it her mission to “help produce good journalists, journalists who can be better than me.”
Nineteen individuals who defied risks and dedicated their life for the cause of truth, justice, peace and freedom for the Filipino people were declared Heroes and their names were etched in stone at Bantayog ng mga Bayani last Nov. 30.
