About

'After a year and 10 months in power, the Macapagal – Arroyo regime has committed 967 cases of human rights violations in the Southern Tagalog Region. Alingawngaw ng mga Punglo discusses the grim human rights situation in the region. It seeks to let the voices of the victims be heard: their anguished cry for justice and call for lasting peace.' Southern Tagalog Exposure

'Echo Of Bullets is a riveting but gruelling account of the atrocities committed by the military and death squads under the command of Major General Jovito Palparan, an officer who leaves a trail of death and terror wherever he goes. This documents how he acquired his nickname of the Butcher of Mindoro in the first few years of this century […] The filmmakers themselves came under threat whilst making it – one was abducted, along with members of a human rights team, and lost equipment and film. … Palparan himself, literally a smiling assassin, is interviewed by these very brave filmmakers (bear in mind that only Iraq has a worse record for murdering journalists than the Philippines).'
