Full of smiles. That is how the friends and family of Julia Campbell expressed gratitude as they obtained justice.
Julia Campbell, (hope my lovely readers still remember) was a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer that was “unintentionally” killed somewhere here in my country. Without that incident, though, this Blog would have been impossible.
Yesterday, June 30, was the awaited moment for the final judgment on the killing. The accused, Juan Duntugan, almost in my age, 25, was proven guilty of the murder that is after a year of trial, and sentenced to reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment.
April 9, last year, Julia Campbell was reported missing. Ten days later, her decomposing body was found. The authorities said that the PCV was brutally killed. Weeks later, the suspect surrendered himself and admitted the crime. He claimed that it was “unintentional”. He said, he thought that the American was his neighbor whom he has fought with few days before the slay happened. Then, trial was done, until the final ruling was read.
As the investigation was taking place, the Filipino that she was with were interviewed and said a lot of good things about Julia. By then, I started searching for her Blog, and on her Blog, I found out more good things on her. She inspired me, and helped me put up my own Blog.
I don’t know, but Julia has touched my life, and I know there are others, too. It was a relief. Prayers paid off. What a nice way to end the month. :)
JUSTICE RULED!!

It’s the first day of July, and my favourite singer/songwriter is celebrating her 25th Birthday. OMG! It’s been almost a decade now since I discovered this girl! :)
Marit, hope you’re having a great time wherever you are right now as you turn 25. Good luck in everything; album, awards, love life, anything. I love you. Hope you’re doing good. :)
