We Remember: Maguindanao Massacre

Published

candles death prayer

The Maguindanao Massacre is one of the most heinous — if not the most heinous — crimes in Philippine history. On November 23, 2009, 58 people were abducted, brutally murdered, and buried in a mass grave about 10 kilometers from Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao.

The victims were on their way to support and provide media coverage for Buluan Vice Mayor Esmael “Toto” Mangudadatu’s filing for candidacy for the 2010 elections. The victims included family members of Vice Mayor Mangudadatu, members of the media, and even bystanders.

Today, on its fifth year, we remember the victims and we continue to support the fight for justice.
