"GMA Network's late-night newscast, Saksi, takes viewers right into the crossfire of a standoff that reached its boiling point.
"The top story: Government troops clash with protesting farm workers and militant groups at the Hacienda Luisita sugar plantation. Rallyists used sticks and stones, while the peacekeeping force dealt with the situation using guns.
"Saksi brings live footage of the actual encounter, highlighted with exclusive video of live bullets flying over the heads of the protestors. News teams bring remote updates of the bloody aftermath, where at least seven people were confirmed dead and more than 100 others arrested.
"The confrontation, however, has far reaching political implications. The Hacienda is owned by the powerful Cojuangco clan, a political dynasty in the Philippines of which former President Cory C. Aquino belongs. Saksi also looks back at how Aquino, who is recognized around the world as a peace advocate, has failed to shake the shadow of violence hovering over her family's sugar business."
