Maguindanao Massacre victims: Who were they?

Seven years have passed since the infamous Maguindanao Massacre happened on November 23, 2009.

The gruesome incident with 58 victims, including 32 journalists, is considered as the worst election-related violence and worst attack on journalists in Philippine history.

Most of the victims were part of the convoy of the camp of then gubernatorial candidate Esmael "Toto" Mangudadatu.

They were on their way to file Mangudadatu's certificate of candidacy, accompanied by journalists.

The convoy includes Toto's wife Genylyn Tiamzon Mangudadatu; 15 of his relatives and supporters, two lawyers, and two drivers.

However, there were also six victims who were not part of the convoy but only happened to be in the area when about 100 gunmen attacked their targets and brought them to a remote, hilly road at Sitio Masilay, Ampatuan town, Maguindanao.

Out of the 58 victims, only one remains missing until now: photojournalist Reynaldo "Bebot" Momay, whose dentures were found at the crime scene but whose body has still not been recovered.

The victims were shot and killed and their attackers tried to cover up their murders by burying their bodies in three makeshift grave sites.

According to the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), out of 197 people accused in the case, 28 have the surname "Ampatuan," including then Datu Unsay town Mayor Andal Ampatuan, believed to be the mastermind, and his father, Andal Ampatuan Sr., patriarch of the Ampatuan clan. The elder Ampatuan died in July last year after battling liver cancer.

 The trial began in January 2010 but with the high number of victims and accused, the prosecution expects the case to drag on for 24 years. The late Senator Joker Arroyo even expects the case to last for 200 years.
