He was imprisoned and tortured during martial law in 1973 and 1977. He was among the organizers of the ML50 campaign in 2022, through which a series of activities were held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the declaration of martial law under the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.
He has directed a number of films that depicted social and political conditions in the Philippines. Sigwa (Rage) in 2010 depicted the life of activists who had taken part in the First Quarter Storm. Deadline:The Reign of Impunity in 2011 depicted killings of media people.
