MY HEART BROKE AFTER READING THIS. This is a message sent by someone who’s in Marawi City. English isn’t my first language but I’ll try my best to translate this text message.
“Arianne. Jessica.
Both of you are my two best friends. You’re like a sister to me. You don’t know each other but I just wanna say that I love you guys so much. There is no signal here right now. We are under attack by ISIS. And we are hearing gunshots and grenade. Our mayor isn’t confirming the situation in here to the media. If you know someone, or if you have a connection to the police, soldiers or whatever, we are calling for help. Marawi is on red alert. Someone was beheaded, civilians were shot, schools were burnt. I am telling you, ISIS does not represent ISLAM. These people are evil. I love you guys. I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again. I love you so much. Forgive me if I ever done you wrong. I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow. Heard that it’ll be worse tomorrow. I am traumatized by the gunshots. They’ve been saying that this situation is still mild and tomorrow will get even worse. Electricity was cut off in some places and I hope they won’t do that here.”

This is heartbreaking 😭💔
As a Filipino, it is hard for me to cope with this. Many of our brothers and sister sin Marawi, Lana del Sur are suffering because of the greed of a few. It is hard to accept the fact that we are battling against our own kin by force to restore peace, but it is still not visible in the horizon before us. After hearing about what happened in Manchester, we also grieved with them. We knew how it felt like to be unsafe in the only place we call home.
This was not caused by our Muslim brethren, it is caused by terrorism. It chooses no age, no gender, no status, no RELIGION or even nationality. IT CHOSS anyone. The only way to fight is to spread awareness and unite against them.
oh my gods, someone S P R E A D this

PLEASE, I don’t care what religion or what belief you have in you or if you’ve got nothing at all,
