Topic: It has been two years since the Maguindanao Massacre happened and NO justice has been served to the victims.

Philippine Justice System, Wake Up! The Maguindanao Massacre which happened two years ago that killed innocent people, including journalists has still left the bereaved families mourning since after two years, no justice has been served. Why is this so? Why is justice not yet given to them? And what has it caused to our nation?

Since the massacre happened, Philippines has been marked as one of the most dangerous place for journalists. The Ampatuans, the clan which is said to be behind the killings is one of the most influential families not just in Maguindanao, but the whole Mindanao as well. Political rivalry between the Ampatuans and the Mangudadatus is said to be the reason behind the crime.

Many witnesses, including the people working for the Ampatuans has shown up to prove that Andal Ampatuan Sr. and his sons are the primary suspects to these unlawful killings. Even one of his sons is now considered as a state-witness against his father and brothers.

According to the Department of Tourism, for the first nine months this year, Philippines catered 2.88 million tourists registering a 12.02% increase as compared to last year’s arrivals. Despite this increase, the Philippines is still left behind by other countries in terms of tourism considering the beauty of our natural resources and world-class talents of our countrymen. This massacre has brought scare to visiting tourists since security given in our country is undoubtedly low as compared to other countries.

The said to be special treatment to the Ampatuans inside the jail brought bad reputation to the Philippine National Police. Videos inside the jail show the Ampatuans using cell phones and other gadgets which is prohibited inside the jail.

It has been two years since the Maguindanao Massacre happened yet the government still haven’t done their part in making sure that

    The Rwandan genocide started on April the 6th 1994. The horrible genocide lasted about 100 days and approximately 800,000 people were killed. When the Belgium’s ruled over Rwanda they split the country up into two groups or tribes, the Hutus and the Tutsis. When the Belgium’s ruled they put the Tutsi tribe in command. The Tutsis were very cruel and mean to the Hutu tribe, but when the Belgium’s left Rwanda they put the Hutu tribe in charge of the country. When the Hutus were in charge they built up there army and imported many supplies but they didn’t attack the Tutsis until one night. The Hutu president was on a flight on his private plane when it crashed! There was lots of talk about him being died but no one was sure until about 1 hour after the accident. The Hutu radio station came on and confirmed that there president was died and it was all the cockroaches fault (cockroaches were the nickname given to Tutsis by the Hutus). This sparked the violent genocide. The Hutu rebels went door to door murdering any Tutsis that they found. One brave man called Paul Rusesabagina managed to save over one thousand people in the hotel he managed. He gave them food water and shelter. A lot of his refugees were Tutsis including his family. He had to bribe the Hutu rebels with money and alcohol to not to kill them but there came a point where that wasn’t enough. The UN only supplied about 10 soldiers to help guard the hotel but they were not even allowed to shoot the rebels they were not peacemakers but peace keepers. One day the UN did supply the hotel with a lot of soldiers but they did not stay they were only there to transport the wealthy white people back home. Many people died but more than one million were made homeless. Even though there was filming and coverage all over the television and in the news papers no one…

    In the story, it was Marcos’ regime when the foreign priest was shot by the so-called orapronobis just because of complaining on what they are doing. At the time martial law ended, our country became democratic and people were non-violent with the lead of Corazon Aquino. That is what everyone thought. But the film just showed me that it is not. It is just orapronobis had been considered vigilantes so the church and the government do not really interfere with their laws and acts even they still kill innocent people. Innocent or rebel, it is still not right to just arrest someone without any proof who they really are as a citizen. Many families had suffered for the loss of a relative especially Jimmy who had been an ex-priest, ex-rebel and advocate for Human Rights, whom his ex-girlfriend back then together with his son got inhumanely killed by Commander Kontra.…
