There are a few Kodao videos that credit me as producer, writer and, sometimes, director of photography/camera-person. This is the first video that credits me as director.
Produced a month before the 2010 national elections, the video asserts that the Hacienda Luisita Massacre of November 2004 is a legitimate election issue–as opposed to Senator Noynoy Aquino’s position is shouldn’t.
Six years after, the Hacienda Luisita massacre remains an outstanding issue of the Filipino toiling masses against the Cojuangco-Aquino clan. This brief video commentary talks about why it is very important come the 2010 elections and Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s presidential bid, to tackle the issue of the massacre and reflect on the life … and death of the Luisita farm workers.
