About this listen

On November 23, 2009, a convoy of journalists and members of the Mangudadatu clan were on their way to file the certificate of candidacy of aspiring Maguindanao governor Toto Mangudadatu. But they never made it to their destination.

Their bodies were found riddled with bullets; many of them buried in mass graves. 58 people were killed in this massacre—the deadliest attack on Filipino journalists and the worst case of electoral violence in the country—all because the ruthless Ampatuan clan wanted to hold on to their power.

This is Super Evil season two, "A Beautiful Place to Die".

    For years, the Ampatuans had gotten away with all kinds of atrocities. Not just land-grabbing and corruption, but even abductions, torture, sexual assault, bombings, and murder by chainsaw. But their crime on November 23, 2009 was just too gruesome to be covered up. Now they had to deal with something they weren't used to—being held accountable.
