I’ll be posting roundups every Monday or Tuesday, it will be a collection of links to sites or articles i read before that i would like to share with my readers.

The Ampatuan Massacre
Below is a map and timeline of the Ampatuan Massacre. Images and flash animation are from GMANews.tv
Here is an excerpt from an article of GMANews:
About 9:00 am – A convoy of six vehicles carrying journalists, lawyers, and relatives of Maguindanao vice mayor Datu Ismael “Toto” Mangudadatu leaves Buluan to file Mangudadatu’s Certificate of Candidacy at the Comelec office in Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao’s capital.
- The convoy is composed of six vehicles: four Toyota Grandia vans (one grey, one green, and two white) owned by the Mangudadatu family; and two media vehicles – a Pajero owned by dzRH broadcast journalist Henry Araneta and a Mitsubishi L-300 van owned by UNTV.
- There is a seventh vehicle, a Grandia van boarded by mediamen. But it lags behind and turns around once the passengers sense what is happening.
- There are two other vehicles that are not part of the convoy but happen to be traveling on the same highway: a red Toyota Vios and a light blue Toyota Tamaraw FX.
- The Vios has five passengers: Eduardo Lechonsito, a government employee who is bound for a hospital in Cotabato City after suffering a mild stroke Monday morning. He is with his wife Cecille, co-workers Mercy Palabrica and Daryll delos Reyes, and driver Wilhelm Palabrica.
- The FX is driven by Anthony Ridao, employee of the National Statistics Coordination Board, and son of Cotabato City councilor Marino Ridao
