1.

Ano ang iyong paunang reaksiyon nang iyong mabalitaan ang pamamarilng riding-
in-tandem sa lalawigan ng Cavite?
Medyo natakot ako kasi noong nabalitaan ko, sinabi agad na hindi maidentify
kung sino kasi kadalasan ay nalalaman agad dahil sa mga CCTV. Nakahelmet kasi
kaya hindi malinaw na makilala. Tapos kung sino- sino lang daw ang binabaril kaya
lalong nakakakaba lalo na paikot- ikot lang siya/sila rito sa Dasmarias.

2. Paano nakaapekto ang kaganapang ito sainyong pang-araw- araw na pamumuhay?

Gabi na kasi ang uwi kaya palagi akong tinetext nina Mama na dumiretso
agad pag- uwi kasi naaalarma rin sila. Nakakakaba naman kasi talaga kasi kung
sinu- sino lang ang binabaril nila na inosente. Naging limitado na rin ang mga
gala ko kasi ay pinagbabawalan ako nina Mama lalo na kapag ginagabi. Sobrang
nakaaapekto ang insidente sa mga pang- araw- araw na pamumuhay ng mga
residente.
3. Anu-ano ang ginawa ninyong paghahand aupang makaiwas sa pangyayaring
pamamaril na napababalita ngayon?
Upang makaiwas na maging biktima, sinisigurado ng pamilya namin na
mag- iingat sa bawat gagawin lalo na kapag ito ay nasa labas ng bahay. Kung
maaari, hindi na muna kami pinapagala upang maiwasang masangkot sa
insidente. Pinapaalalahanan din kami na huwag masyadong magpapagabi at
huwag lalabas mag- isa ng bahay.
4. Bilang isang mamamayan ng Cavite, nagiging isang malaking problema ang walang
pinipili at kinikilingang pamamaril ng riding-in-tandem. Ano ang iyong pananaw sa
nasabing pahayag?
 Nakakakaba at nakakatakot kasi kung sinu- sino lang ang binabaril nila
tapos kadalasan ay headshot pa kaya wala nang oras para maitakbo pa sa
ospital. Mas naging mahirap ang sitwasyon kasi hindi agad malaman kung sino
ang mga nasa likod ng riding in tandem at kung ano ang rason ng kanilang
pamamaril. Wala rin silang pinipiling oras kaya kailangan ng bawat isa na mag-
ingat.
5. Sa iyong sariling opinyon, sapat ba ang ginagawang aksiyon ng gobyerno upang
matigil ang trahedyang ito? Ipaliwanag.
Sa aking opinyon, hindi gaanong sapat ang ginagawa ng gobyerno. Marami na
ang napatay na mga residente bago pa nila mapansin ang insidente. Hindi nila
ito agad binigyang- pansin ngunit nang malaman na ang pangmalawakang
pamamaril, gumawa sila agad ng aksyon kasabay ang tulong ng mga pulisya at
naghanda ng pabuya kung sino man ang makakapaglahad kung sino at saan
mahahanap ang mga namamaril na riding in tandem.
6. Anu-anong uring midya ang nakatulong saiyo upang makakakalap ng impormasyon
ukol sa nasabing isyu sa lipunan?
Ang midya na nakapagbigay sa akin ng paunang impormasyon ukol sa
isyung riding in tandem ay ang facebook. May isang netizen na nagpost tungkol
sa nangyaring insidente hanggang sa lumawak na nang lumawak ang
paglalahad sa pamamagitan ng Share. Hindi pa agad itong binalita sa telebisyon
dahil sa kakulangan ng datos kaya ang mga balitang konektado sa pangyayari
ay nakikita ko palang sa facebook.
7. Sa iyong palagay, ang lahat bang mga nakakalap mong impormasyon sa ibatibang
midya ay katanggap-tanggap at kapani-paniwala? Ipaliwanag.

Hindi lahat ng mga nababasa tungkol sa nasabing insidente sa social media

ay totoo. Maraming mga netizens ang naglalahad ng mga maling impormasyon
na nakaaapekto rin naman sa mga nakababasa nito na madaling maniwala sa
mga post ng iba. Hindi lahat ng impormasyong nababasa ay kapani- paniwala
dahil ang iba ay upang magbigay- takot lamang sa ibang mga nakababasa nito.
