Philippines declares emergency after 24 killed
FILE--In this July 21, 2008 photo released by the Presidential Close-in Photographer's Office, Malacanang Palace in Manila, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, right, is welcomed by Congressman Didagen Dilangalen, left, and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Governor Datu Zaldy Ampatuan, upon arrival at Maguindanao, Shariff Kabunsuan Province, in the Philippines. On Monday Nov. 23, 2009, gunmen ambushed a convoy of 40 political supporters and journalists, killing at least two dozen people, on their way to file election papers for Vice Mayor Ismael Mangudadatu of Buluan township, a candidate in a region of the Philippines notorious for violence between rival clans. The Mangudadatus blamed their rivals, the powerful Ampatuan family, which has ruled with an iron fist since 2001. An official in the president's office called it the worst political violence in recent history. (AP Photo/Ronald Navarro, PCPO, File)
