By Allain Christine Bernardo

For the past few months, we saw in our television that a lot of people were dying
because of terrorism.
Some locals from the countries Bahgdad, Beirut Lebanon and Paris witnessed how
terrorism can be.
Now its time to move, make an
action and make our own
country peaceful. As Pope
Francis rejected the senseless
killing happened on Christmas
Eve in Southern Philippines by
the rebels who pledge
allegiance to the terrorist group
Islamic state (ISIS).
