Heart-rending sight

HEART-RENDING. A Catholic nun watching on TV the grieving relatives of the soldiers killed in the fight against the Abu Sayyaf said. “It's heart-rending. It breaks your heart watching the grieving relatives.”

DESTINY. But the same nun added that: “It behooves every soldier's family members to always realize that offering their lives for the country is the soldiers' destiny.” She went on: “Kun bana mo o papa mo usa ka sundawo...” She did not finish the sentence as she sobbed. Her father, it was learned by The Ear informer, was a soldier killed by rebels in Samar.
