Ampatuan Jr. harassed at justice dep't
MANILA, Philippines - Datu Unsay Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr. was harassed by a handful of Filipino journalists when he arrived Friday afternoon at the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the preliminary investigation into the mass murder of 57 people in Maguindanao province last month.
Ampatuan Jr. arrived shortly before 1:30 p.m. at the DOJ compound on board a bulletproof van. He came out of the van handcuffed and clad in a bulletproof vest.
Before Ampatuan Jr. entered the DOJ building, he was harassed by some members of the National Press Club (NPC). The journalists were holding several pictures of the bodies taken from the massacre site in Ampatuan town.
Marlon Purificacion, a reporter of People's Journal, threw pictures into Ampatuan Jr.'s face. The journalist said their protest is a show of support and sympathy for the 57 families of the massacre victims, which includes 30 journalists.
Ampatuan Jr. has been charged with 25 counts of murder for the massacre. Several witnesses have testified he took part in the killings.
Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera said Ampatuan Jr. was summoned to appear at the preliminary investigation because police have filed additional murder charges against the mayor.
Ampatuan Jr.'s father, former Maguindanao Governor Andal Ampatuan Sr., and several members of the powerful political clan, have also been charged with murder for the massacre. 
Before Ampatuan Jr.'s arrival, a DOJ employee called out at least 175 names of respondents in the multiple murder case. More than 60 of them are policemen and 5 are members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The others facing murder complaints for the massacre are Shariff Aguak Vice-Mayor Ulo Ampatuan, Salibo Vice-Mayor Kanor Ampatuan, Shariff Aguak police auxiliary chief Tony Kenis Ampatuan, Abdullah Sangki, Muhamad Sangki, Tammy Masukat, Tumi Timba Abas, and Police Officer 1 Abbey Guiadem.
Devanadera said the police have filed multiple murder cases against 243 people.
Ampatuan Sr. and his other sons, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan and acting Maguindanao Gov. Sajid Ampatuan are currently detained for their supposed involvement in a rebellion, which prompted the government to place parts of the province under a state of martial law.
Police have filed rebellion charges against more than 600 people.

IN FAIRNESS
When you study the video and how the accident when andal jr was hit by a camera, you can tell that it was an accident because so many protesters and media men are chasing the accused Andal Jr. It was like stampede because of people are pushing each other and towards the accused after the preliminary hearing. You cannot conclude that it was intended to really hit the accused. So, I do not know what people are making a big deal out of this and blame the media men for doing it. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT and it was not done in purpose to inflict Andal Jr. He was not even mad at the "bukol on the forehead" he had and did not blame the media but instead, he blamed it on the MANGUDADATU hitting him the camera...because Andal Jr. also feel that it was not done in purpose and it was purely an accident in part because protester and the media are pushing each other towards him to get a glimpse of him for their reporting purposes. So, give it a rest! and instead let's all look forward for the next court hearing of the Ampatuans.
I-google nyo nga
bakit ganuon? kapag punta ka sa google.com.ph
type ka sa search box na "bitayin ang mga ampatuan".
may result na lalabas na " ibig mo bang saibihin ay: buhayin ang mga ampatuan"
intindihin na lang natin ang kanilang emosyon
pwd namang intindihin na lang natin ang kanilang emosyon.
ang sa akin lang yung isang mangundadatu namatayan ng asawa't kapatid hindi naman nanghampas ng kung anu ano.
@PJGISAN
Hindi ko binibigyan ng dignidad si andal jr. what I just want is higher standards and higher level of professionalism from our mediamen kasi sila ang inaasahan ng bayan para magbigay ng tamang balita na walang bahid ng bias.
let the mob deal with andal pero ang media dapat palaging propesyonal
kung ibang tao sana
kung ibang tao sana ang naghagis ng camera ok lang..ang punto ko lang eh taasan lang sana ng media natin ang standards nila..mababa na nga tingin ng tao (maraming asar sa media dahil sa pagiging sensationalized minsan mag report) sa media eh pinababa pa nila
ngayon how can we expect na unbiased ang pagcover ng mga involved sa ampatuan case kung napakita na sila ng galit sa akusado?
diba nga ang media dapat walang pinapanigan?
PJGisan ikaw ang mahiya
Gaya ng sabi ko, kaisa nyo ako sa paghahanap ng katarungan laban sa mga may kagagawan sa masaker..naniniwala ba akong sina Ampatuan ang may gawa nun? Yes, marami na akong naririnig ng mga pang aabuso nila..
pero ang sinasabi ko lang eh sana taasan ng media ang standards nila..ever heard of the saying "BEING THE BIGGER MAN"? yun sana ang magandang ginawa ng media natin..
kung sana hindi media ang may gawa nun (lets say part lang ng crowd) eh maiintindihan ko pa (matutuwa pa ako)..pero media ang may gawa na at that time I expected to be professionals and walang kinikilingan..pero instead eh nagpadala sa emosyon and ibinaba ang level nila sa level ni ampatuan
sabagay ang media natin ang isa sa mga pinakamababang uri (abusado at madalas eh sensationalized mag report) so kaya nga siguro maraming di nakapag control ng emosyon at di nakapag act professionaly

mga bro sana hindi mangyari yung sinapit ng 57 sa maguindanao sa inyo,kung may relatives kayo na namatay doon ganun pa rin ba ang sasabihin nyo? i doubt it very much. Mas binigyan nyo pa yta ng dignidad si ampatuan dog andal kaysa mga journalists na nag-express sa kanilang galit. mga tao din yung mga journalists kaya may karapatan din sila sa kanilang emosyon. kung gusto mung magreklamo mag-file ka ng kaso sa mga journalist na humampas kay ampatuan dog jr in his behalf. baka sugo kayo ni fortun. Look closely in the pictures of those who died and you will know what I mean. Mahiya kaayo sa comment nyo.
i disagree
kung maraming buhay ang kinuha, d sapat ang isang buhay nya lang. dapat sa kanya pagdusahin muna. mga isang dekada ng klase klaseng torture. =>
