Now tell me who wants to live in Cotabato?

Kung ganito ang makakasabay mo every morning papuntang school, magugustuhan mo?

Kung ganitong kung kahit saan ka pumunta'y merong sangkaterbang pulis at sundalo, magugustuhan mo?

Kung ganitong ultimo likod ng tindahan ng litson manok ay may nakatenggang sundalo, magugustuhan mo?

Bawat kanto na lang ata may mga nagbabantay na sundalo.

Pati mga bakanteng gusali ay binabantayan dahil baka raw mabombahan.

Sa National Highway naman, nakalinya ang diumanoy "peacemakers".

And what if I tell you that all of these security measures are only because of the State of the Region Address that transpired yesterday? The soldiers are manning the whole town like there's a war. But the question is: ZERO CRIME RATE BA NAMAN? The answer is NO. Tsk tsk. And ang nakakainis pa nito, whenever the soldiers see the regional governor's vehicle, they were shouting "TABI KAYO! TABI!" as if they own the whole Cotabato City. It's really disgusting. All exit points have security kuno, pero meron pa ring nahohold-up. So tell me, you wanna live in Cotabato? It's depressing to see my hometown like this. As if Zaldy Ampatuan feeds us all.
