Sons and daughters of slain media workers sing “Hustisya” at the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Ampatuan Massacre at the massacre site in Ampatuan, Maguindanao on 23 November 2019. Fifty eight persons were killed, 32 of them from the media, when armed men led by then Datu Unsay mayor Andal Ampatuan, Jr., flagged them at the national highway and herded them to Sitio Masalay where they were killed. Ampatuan Jr. was running for governor and majority of the 58 were part of a convoy led by the wife of then Mangudadatu Vice Mayor Esmael Mangudadatu, en route to the Commission on Elections office at the provincial capitol in the next town, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao, to file Mangudadatu’s certificate of candidacy.
