Innocence is a term that describes the lack of guilt of an individual, with respect to a crime. It may also be used to indicate a general lack of guilt, with respect to any kind of crime, sin, or wrongdoing. Its antonym is corruption.
It can also refer to a state of unknowing, where one's experience is lesser, in either a relative view to social peers, or by an absolute comparison to a more common normative scale
Bagong Silang, Camarines Norte.
I was very little then i'm about 4-5 years old or younger..I can still remember what horror that happened that afternoon one summer day. I have a playmate that I usually visit daily. He was my bestfriend at that time and we would play with marbles and cheap plastic toys.
Since I was very young here are the fragments of that horrible moment that I would never forget for the rest of my life.
Naglalaro kami sa Garahe nila. May bibilhin ang yaya niya sa harapan tindahan.
Nasa gilid lang ng Maharlika highway ang bahay nila habang kailangan mo pang tumawid ng highway para makarating sa tindahan.
Hindi ko masyadong matandaan kung sinabihan ko ang kaibigan ko na sundan niya ang yaya niya at magpabili ng Plastic na laruan, or parang sumang-ayon ata ako sa kanya na sundan niya yung yaya niya sa tindahan. either of the two, I was really young to remember the exact details.
Tumakbo siya upang sundan si yaya.
Habang akoy naiwang naglalaro.
Sa isang iglap..wala na siya.
Nasagasaan ng Jeep.
Naalala ko pa habang karga-karga siya ng isang lalaki, Puro dugo. Hindi ko pa alam ang salitang Patay noon.
Andun ako lagi nung burol niya. Naglalaro sa gilid ng kabaong niya..mag-isa.
Dear friend..I was very young then. I didnt know whats right from wrong.
Wherever you are. I'm sorry. I'm not really sure if I have contributed to your death since I cant remember the exact details.
Hindi ka nawawala sa isip ko. You still haunt me from time to time.
I feel like a criminal, an innocent criminal. Please forgive me my friend.
Dear God please forgive me.
Dear God please forgive me.
Dear God please forgive me.
oh my!let's put it this way..I think isa na siyang anghel,di natin masabi but maybe that person is your guardian angel now,walang dapat sisihin sa nangyari,sabi nga 'kung oras mo,oras mo na'.
