A farmer and his family on board a carabao-driven cart cross a newly-constructed bridge in Brgy. Tukalanipano, Mamasapano, Maguindanao on Monday, January 18. The area, that claimed the lives of 66 persons generally, remains the same, a quiet shallow river, huge dry fields that easily soften and turned muddy riverside, dry spell is felt in this part of the region. The river and the vast cornfields were silent witnesses to the bloody January 25. 2015 carnage that left elite police unit, Moro rebels and civilians dead. Ferdinandh Cabrera
