TAXI FILIPPINO

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.
