Dear Terry, First Off - It's sad to know about your story. You love you father, mother and family very much as it's depicted in your writing - though not the exact representation of your feelings for them. I don't know much about the history of Philippines but it's true that good and bad people are everywhere. Those robbers vs your father or in today's scenario, it's you serving the humanity in general. I've have been curious to know your story but I was waiting for the right time. It's good that you shared this with us all. Though there is still some ambiguity and I want to learn more about it. May be, I missed something.
The world is a dangerous place and we see more negativity and less positivty in it.

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." - Albert Einstein

Anyway, this path of your father and all the good human beings has always been difficult and it will be the same for you. However, you're a blessed soul so you will be able to travel through it.
