MEDIA and human rights groups marked the second month anniversary of the Ampatuan massacre by lighting candles at the steps of the University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication in Quezon City.
Families of the victims and their lawyers attended the event. Media groups such as the Center for Community Journalism and Development (CCJD) and the National Union of Journalists (NUJP) said they were now helping the families deal with the trauma brought about by the loss of loved ones. The CCJD said it was providing assistance to journalists in Maguindanao whose lives are endangered because of their reportage of the massacre.
Luz Rimban caught the event in this video.
