That night, I went home absolutely terrified.

My heart raced against my chest as I nervously looked around my surroundings and quickened my pace.

I had just finished interviewing a young orphaned girl named Luz - short for Luzviminda who became mute on July 3, 2020.

Back at the orphanage where she temporarily lived, I promised I'd tell the world of her injustice.

"Taas kamay!" A voice suddenly yelled, and I felt the tip of a gun pointed at my temple.

A chill ran down my spine.

Even if it meant my own life.
