About 10 years ago, 58 people were killed in the Philippines. The incident, referred to as the Maguindanao massacre, was one of the country’s worst cases of political violence.
This week, the Supreme Court in Manila is due to deliver verdicts in the trial of about 100 people accused of murder. Al Jazeera looks back at what happened and the struggle for justice for the families of those who were killed.
Jamela Alindogan has more from Maguindanao.

Problem is Islam
@Angry Lesbian ???
I am not islam. But i dont think this cause islam but politic and bad behaviour.
@shell pink he’s a murtad
It’s bcoz of politics
The news is erroneous. It is NOT the Supreme Court but a lower court that will deliver the verdict. The case hasn’t reached the apex court yet.
Correct. First thing I noticed.
This is sick!!
Firstly, it is not the Supreme Court. Secondly, we are not a country gripped by violence. We are not a warzone like what you and Rappler/Ressa are implying.
@Pat Zam well gripped means seized by violence. Regardless if I am directly subjected to it or not, it means our country lives and eats in and around violence.
@Isaac Maker yes. Again she said a country gripped by violence. Reality check. Are our daily actions and decisions affected by fear or predisposition towards violence?
@Isaac Maker Is Marawi a country? Can a city be the basis in determining a “COUNTRY’S STATE”?
@Pat Zam the country is not gripped by violence.. it is only in particular area or city.. may disadvantage sa mga tourist ang ganitong klaseng pagbabalita,kasi matatakot na ang mga turista na pumunta ng pinas para mgbakasyon dahil akala nila buong pilipinas ang kaguluhan.. marami talagang error pag ang international media at mga bayarang media ang nag uulat. Ang international media,wala silang paki sa sinasabi nila kahit erroneous ito bsta lang may maiulat at pumatok at mgkapera..
God heard those prayers.
Thanks God…
ERRATUM: The case is promulgated in the Regional Trial Court, not the Supreme Court. It was just monitored by the SC (via OCA Midas Marquez). The Ampatuans will file an appeal to the higher year.
International news reporter. Another FAKE NEWS!! STOP THE FAKE NEWS. It was Not a SUPREME COURT who dliver the verdict..
this is not fake news dude . .
Why it takes 9 years to Get Verdict? Where is the Justice? Is that not Enough? Klaro nang Back Hu Ginamit Grave. This Month? “only. Why it’s too long.. WHY? PAY AND go to Sentence life time Prisonment no Bail
This must have Justice inside in 45 days. What happen
Justice served last December 19, 2019
Why not in Supreme Court. TAKOT BA SI DRILLON OR MGA EXAMINER SA HIGHEST COURT KUNG MAY EXAM SA Bar mga Difficult Questions mga mayayabang pa pag dating sä Gsnitong Klarong Murder Ambush. JUSTICE WAS HIKING..
Judicial Procedure thus, it must go thru in the lower court first and if anyone from both sides will petition/appeal the verdict of the lower court that is the time it will be heard in higher court.
Pesting Yawa nga dako Na Judge. Dili Maka tabang sä Victims. Hadlok.. Siguro.. Ayaw ka hadlok. FIGHT FOR REALITY
In nomine patr elfi espiritos sancris amen.
Respect for the families of journalists and civillian.
RIP journalists victims.
still not enough justice!
Killers don’t deserve to be in jail,they deserve to be killed by hanging their neck on the trees just like Hudas..!
God knows his people and one they those cruel people would feel the pain of the Heal😡😡😡😡😡
Human rights para lang sa mayayaman yan. At para lang sa tao sa demonyo yan!!! Gumising na kayo!!!
Pasalamt sila dahil hindi pa panahon ni Pres. Duterte dahil kung nagkataon di na siguro umabot ng korte …
Pwede pa naman gumanti ngayon e masakerin din lahat na lahi nila…
@christine llena mga in-laws lang marami me taga davao at taga maguindanao
Masaya nlang tayo sa mga tao na namatayn nabigyan sla ng hustisya❤️
@R4i ni M4ti0n karma sa kanila. Grabi walang kaluluwa kala at kapag nghukay sila ng malalim hindi na makikita mga bangkay at mababaon sa limot ang isyu! Tsk! Nandahil sa maduming politika handang pumatay ng maraming sibilyan bsta manatili lang sa kapangyarihan, grabi napaka sugapa. Sana sunugan mga katawan nila sa impyerno at doon nila pagbayarin mga kasalanan nila at mga buhay na inutang nila.
Demonyo yang mga putang-inang yan! Hayop
Tang-ina nyan o….wasalam molaykit morag matalaw pero mabato
They should put the whole clan of ampatuan to jail specially the once in politics
I just can’t believe that those criminals are able to be free after all those years they should be in jail rotting shame on our government they fear that family more than protecting our law.
They’re not criminals, they’re animals
