DAVAO CITY – As November 23 marks the fourth year of the Ampatuan massacre that killed 58 people including 32 media workers in Sitio Masalay, Ampatuan town of Maguindanao, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) Davao Chapter said it is another year where justice has eluded the families of the victims.
The trial involving 103 incarcerated suspects, including alleged masterminds belonging to the Ampatuan clan that once held political posts in Maguindanao and Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao, has remained on its first stage, which is the arraignment of suspects.
