September 8, 2010

Produced by TV Oost in Belgium, Taxi Filippino is the story of a roadtrip through the Cordillera, a mountain region in the North of the Philippines. From the summer capital Baguio to the province of Kalinga, the taxi passes by slums, schools and mining companies, mountain villages and military camps. Corruption is everywhere. More than a thousand people were the victim of political assassination under the regime of president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Hundreds of others disappeared. And still the Filipino's have the courage to go on.


 

Video: AGNO

Produced by the Cordillera Peoples Alliance and Southern Tagalog Exposure in 2002, The documentary delves on the importance of the Agno River to the people of Itogon, Benguet and Pangasinan and how the San Roque Dam Project will take away the right to land and livelihood of the people. The people’s struggle against the government flagship project rages despite the impoundment of water in the dam. (See related campaigns on large dams on Campaigns page.)
