| gunned down by unidentified assailants | backpacker accused of being a rebel |
I’m currently subscribed to the ivolunteer.ph newsletter and got this email about 11 backpackers suspected of being rebels. The backpakers were stopped on their way to Sagada by police. They were arrested and then taken to the police station where they were tortured. Read story here and here.
I checked the name and organization of the person who sent the email. This lead me to the Cordillera Peoples’ Alliance website. This also lead me to the story about activists being murdered.
These are the kinds of stories that I will most certainly miss from the major newspaper’s websites. The stories will just be buried under banner ads or cluttered design. Or maybe they won’t be reported at all. See Inq7.net, Manila Bulletin, and Philippine Star and compare the design to Nordis and Manila Indymedia. I find their (Nordis and Manila Indymedia) sites much easier to read. It’s certainly something I’ll be checking on more often from now on.
