For Matilda

08.20.2008 · Posted in Music Scene

There’s an ongoing battle in Mindanao right now. The MILF has declared war against every body. More than a dozen people have been killed already and they are still waging war in some provinces. The government should do something about this. ASAP! Why would you give the Bangsamoro people a taste of freedom when you know you ...
