PHWhen you search for the Ampatuan Massacre in Meta, it will ask you whether you want to continue doing so. Understandable because that event is the worst day for journalists in the Philippines, the worst election related violence and the most barbaric display of guns,goon and gold of any politician. If you want to see 58 dead bodies being recovered by backhoes in a large pit in Maguindanao, go ahead. In fact I think, you should see it.
Now it is rumored that Unsay Ampatuan, the main guy who got convicted for this heinous crime in 2019, is set to be freed soon. Why? How? He is supposed to rot in jail right?
Well, they may use the New Good Conduct Time Allowance Law (NGCTA). Apparently, in April 3, 2024, the Supreme Court found DOJ to have acted beyond the scope of R.A. No. 10592 (NGCTA) by excluding persons convicted of heinous crimes from the benefits of such law. Thus, it is then clarified that persons convicted of heinous crimes is still entitled to Good Conduct Time Allowance. In short, people like Unsay Ampatuan may avail the benefits of this law.
