Director's Note:
War plunges Mindanao in a state of intractable conflict. Death, hunger and evacuation are
ugly consequences of armed violence. Glaring statistics of internal refugees popularly known
as "Bakwits" rose to hundreds of thousands in the early 2000 when the Philippine
government declared an all-out war to quell rebellion in Mindanao. After a decade, war
evacuees who may have reintegrated in the society are still dreaming of going back to their
farmlands. Still, war disowned their right to till the land. Whether big or clan wars, armed
conflict force the local people, rich and poor alike, to become "bakwits" who have to contend
with their new reality. They live in encampments and build their own makeshift houses in
gymnasiums, schools, churches. And in some cases, they are adopted by local chieftains and
become part of extended families. "Bakwits" have accepted their fate to flee just to avoid
being caught in the CROSSFIRE.
