On a Monday morning in Tacloban City, the ordinary rhythms of learning at San Jose National High School were shattered by gunfire, leaving three dead and five wounded in a place meant for the nurturing of young minds. At least one of those killed was a student — a reminder that violence, when it enters a school, strikes at something foundational in a society's sense of safety and future. Philippine authorities have opened an investigation, but the deeper questions — of motive, of access, of how such a moment becomes possible — will outlast the immediate search for facts.
