Hi All,

I was surprised to see this documentary made by BBC about the Philippines that was shown on Sunday night 15th February here in the UK. I didnt know that there are so many people using the North Cemetary as their homes these days. According to the presenter, there is one family moving in there to live with the dead on a daily-basis. It also showed one muslim teacher trying to brainwash muslim children that Mindanao isnt really part of the Philippines. Plus Imelda Marcos was there as well being interviewed and commented that they never found any skeletons in her closet but only beautiful shoes! I found a sorry but funny interview.

If anyone want to watch it, it is available via iplayer on the bbc website. Clink on the link below:

They only let people from the UK view iplayer. I cant see it

the media has the power to control the message if they want to show something beautiful they can.
