     May 3, 2009, was a beautiful day on the lush island of Mindanao, in the Philippines. Jean Tongcua, pregnant with her fourth child, was doing laundry in a river near her home when she suddenly heard gunfire in the distance. Immediately thinking of her three young daughters, she began climbing the river bank to return home.

As she reached the top of a small cliff, she saw the source of the gunfire — armed men shooting at everyone in sight. Dropping to her knees, she crawled backward as bullets whizzed over her head. Then a bomb suddenly exploded nearby, hurling metal and debris into the air around her; a piece of shrapnel struck Jean in the chest.

By the time the attack ended, four people had been killed and six hospitalized, including Jean. Eighty houses, all belonging to Christians, were burned to the ground, leaving more than 200 homeless. Homes belonging to Muslims were left untouched.
