The killings occurred in Canlaon City and in the towns of Manjuyod and Santa Catalina, and, per the accounts of family members and other eyewitnesses, in a manner chillingly similar to the continuing antidrug operations in Metro Manila and nearby provinces: masked men in camouflage descending in the dead of night, the targets clangorously awakened from asleep, their kin ordered out of the house, then the sound of gunshots announcing the evil deed of murder.
The quietude with which Justice evokes loss here is a far cry from, say, Hardy's great poem "During Wind and Rain" which treats a similar theme more clangorously. Justice's refinement and subtlety have led certain of his critics astray; tin-eared, they find him too low-key and sleepy.
