MANILA, Philippines - A lawyer of several media workers killed in the November 2009 massacre in Maguindanao reported yesterday that a key witness was murdered last week in Parang, Maguindanao, apparently to stop him from testifying in the multiple murder case filed against members of the Ampatuan clan. unquote

this part of a philstar article needs some explanation.The people in PH are waiting for a trial, a process against the Ampatuans,mainly against father (SR) and Junior Ampatuan.

the hearings and the collection of materials are still going on in Quezon City( Manila).

in the meantime the Ampatuans have hugh privileges in the prison(s).It is said they use frequently their celphones to give instructions.It is said they instructed people to murder witnesses.They are told to be said that they have enough money to pay all parties concerned!!The widness in this article is said to be a murderer himself, he shot down himself in the massacre.Just yesterday a NEW witness appeared on TV saying he is prepared to testify ,This witness is a friend of the Ampatuans,we see him on several occasions in the hospital room with Ampatuan sr.He will testify,he himself is informed about the intention of the Ampatuans to let him kill,because he knows too much!!His testimony will be crusial,unless he will be killed after his explanations on TV.The government needs to protect him.The afore mentioned murderer and witness who has been killed already did never get protection from manila.

The witness is fully aware of this situation.He will testify because wherever he is,they might kill him.Will he be protected ?and effectively? the future will tell us.Do not be surprised when he will be dead before the witness session is held.

We have a certain hope that with the new President legal procedures get more room and corruption will be excluded.

Remains to be seen if the corrupted people can be removed in time...............................from their key positions.

God bless the philippines.
