The incident portrayed in this video animation is based on actual events.
This video shows a glimpse into the brutality of counterinsurgency operations in the Philippine countryside.
For decades, government counterinsurgency programs in the country, one after another, have caused grave human rights violations to innocent civilians especially in rural areas. The incumbent Aquino administration’s Internal Peace and Security Plan “Bayanihan” (Cooperation) or Oplan Bayanihan is no different. Oplan Bayanihan is but a replica of its predecessor, Oplan Bantay Laya, a counterinsurgency program designed by the U.S. government to quell all forms of resistance, armed or unarmed, by any means necessary.
Please help us expose the truth about the human rights situation in the country. Like and share this video.
Help stop Pres. Aquino’s Oplan Bayanihan. Help stop human rights violations in the Philippines.

“On January 2011, the Aquino government instituted “Oplan Bayanihan”, its own version of the AFP’s Internal Peace and Security Plan. Like its predecessor Oplan Bantay Laya, it boasts of securing peace and putting an end to insurgency while guaranteeing the protection of human rights and civil liberties.
But reality tells a different story.” - Karapatan Southern Tagalog
