The Tale of Two Harry

Last night, the news on TV Patrol includes the battle of Harry Roque for truth behind Malacanang’s stand on Zaldy Ampatuan and the battle of Harry Potter against Lord Voldemort in the final installment of the JK Rowling series.

Harry Roque, as the lawyer of some of the kin of the victims of the Maguindanao Massacre, has strongly disagreed in the proposal of making Zaldy Ampatuan a state witness. He said that to be under WPP (Witness Proctection Program), you have to be the least guilty among the suspects. Zaldy has been allegedly tagged as one of the masterminds behind the massacre.

 Atty. Roque’s battle has gone too far, even criticizing Malacanang as the one who pushed the idea of making Zaldy a state witness. He even claimed that the Ampatuans are now in the good graces of the Palace and accused a few Palace personnel of brokering a deal with the Ampatuans.

Presidential Spokesperson Lacierda has dismissed all these allegations and demanded an apology from Harry Roque, claiming that all this accusations are just “figment of his imaginations”.

On the other hand, Harry Potter will come face to face again with Lord Voldemort for the last time. In part two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the battle between the good and the bad wizards will come to an end in this glorious adaptation of the novel with the same title. Harry, with some help from his friends and allies, will battle for Hogwarts and once and for all, end his fight against Voldemort.

According to Warner Bros, tickets to the movie are selling like hotcakes. It broke the record of selling 32 million in advance ticket sales, previously held by Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Here in the Philippines, tickets were sold out in the first screening day. It is expected to break more records as the movie opens worldwide.

Harry Roque and Harry Potter both have their own battles in life. No matter how tough it is, both are strong and willing to fight to the end. They maybe are misunderstood but their mission is for the benefit of the common good.
