Sen. Noynoy Aquino supported the Hacienda Luisita dispersal?

The Liberal Party has been focused on building up their campaign on Senator Noynoy Aquino‘s integrity and character. They’re painting him as some sort of modern day saint. For years, the Aquino family has been hounded by the Hacienda Luisita massacre. When Noynoy declared his candidacy for the President, it was natural that he had to face this same ghost. His supporters and his team said that he had nothing to do with it whatsoever. Just recently a video surfaced on Youtube and Facebook which shows news clippings of Senator Noynoy Aquino (a congressman still then) defending the violent dispersal of his family’s Hacienda.

Here’s the video for your perusal:

Unless the said publications actually verify those reports, this can just be another photoshop wizardy case. If these clippings are authentic though, Noynoy has a lot of explaining to do.

    Sorry for this, I can’t believe that a respected blogger would bite this dirty trick that is being done with the sole purpose of destroying noynoy’s untainted image. I found a few of these, more than 5 blogs I recall, neither of which would stay long live. They were not really blogs in essence, they were obviously created by rivals who are desperate enough to resort to these dirty tactics. I just hope more if not all respected bloggers would verify the facts first before accommodating such mudslingings and black propaganda.

    Thank you for giving my reaction a space in this blog.

    black propaganda!!!!

    Defending the dispersal doesn’t mean tolerating the indiscriminate killings.

    Strikers dispersed at Hacienda Luisita; 7 dead
    Aquino son: Ralliers are not part of work force

    Updated 00:52am (Mla time) Nov 17, 2004
    By Jo Clemente, Ronald Dizon
    Inquirer News Service

    Editor’s Note: Published on page A1 of the Nov. 17, 2004 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

    HACIENDA LUISITA, Tarlac, Philippines — In a dispersal reminiscent of a bloody Mendiola rally in 1987, at least seven people died when the police and military dismantled barricades set up by workers of a sugar mill owned by the family of former President Corazon Aquino.

    Ms Aquino was just 11 months in Malacañang when government forces killed 13 farmers on Mendiola Bridge during a dispersal operation on Jan. 22, 1987. The farmers were demanding “genuine” land reform, including the distribution to workers and farmers of the 6,000-hectare Hacienda Luisita, which is owned by the family of the former President.

    As of 8 last night, four fatalities in the dispersal here had been identified as Jesus Lasa of Concepcion, Tarlac; John David of Barangay Cutcut, Tarlac City; Juancho Sanchez of Barangay Balete, Tarlac City, and Jimmy Pastidio of La Paz, Tarlac.

    Reports from the medical team sent by the city government to the site did not say if the fatalities were all workers of Central Azucarera de Tarlac.

    Three of the victims died before reaching the Tarlac Provincial Hospital, while three others died at the St. Martin Hospital in the hacienda. Another fatality was taken to the military’s Northern Luzon Command headquarters at Camp Aquino in the city.

    Tear gas, water cannons

    Many workers were reported wounded and taken to the provincial hospital. They said the police and military dispersal teams used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the strikers.

    Leaders of the strike said at least 200 protesters were hurt. At least 100 policemen, soldiers and firemen were also hurt in the dispersal, according to Senior Superintendent Amado Paneda, the regional deputy police director for administration.

    A total of 116 protesters, including 16 women, were reportedly detained at Camp Aquino and at the sugar mill.

    Director Quirino de la Torre, the Central Luzon police chief, said the policemen and soldiers were hit by Molotov bombs and stones thrown by the strikers.

    Police were enforcing an order from the Department of Labor and Employment to facilitate the free entry and exit of trucks carrying sugar products and to normalize operations at the sugar mill.

    The DOLE assumed jurisdiction of the labor row pending before the National Conciliation and Mediation Board.

    The dispersal came after negotiations between workers at the Central Azucarera de Tarlac and its management broke down.

    Higher wages

    The workers were demanding higher wages and better benefits but management claimed the strike was meant “to cripple the business operations of the sugar mill.”

    The violence that erupted was the second such incident during the 11-day-old strike at the Cojuangco sugar mill.

    On Monday, scores of strikers and policemen were hurt when police dispersed the picket line at the Hacienda Luisita gate.

    Owners of Hacienda Luisita were baffled over who was behind the human barricade at the sugar plantation.

    Not hacienda worker

    Former Tarlac Representative Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr., a brother of Ms Aquino and part owner of the hacienda, said some of the people that took part in the strike since last week were from the provinces of Pampanga and Nueva Ecija and were not part of the work force of the plantation.

    The Cojuangcos own 67 percent of Hacienda Luisita and the rest is held by the workers.

    The former congressman said management had left the issues to be resolved by the labor department.

    Cojuangco said he received a copy of a press statement from the United Luisita Workers Union (ULWU) yesterday morning saying that it was not the group that initiated the picket.

    Ronaldo Alcantara of ULWU-Nacusip said negotiations to amend provisions of the collective bargaining agreement between Hacienda Luisita Inc. and ULWU-Nacusip were ongoing and there was no “deadlock.”

    Alcantara said in his statement that the small group of retrenched workers led by Rene Galang, a former official of ULWU-Nacusip, and Ric Ramos, president of Central Azucarera de Tarlac Labor Union (CATLU-NLU), were responsible for the recent incidents at the hacienda.

    Noynoy defends dispersal

    Alcantara said that the 5,000 members of ULWU-Nacusip did not participate in the strike.

    At the House of Representatives, Deputy Speaker Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III (LP, Tarlac), only son of the former President, defended the dispersal of the protesters.

    Rising on the floor, Representative Aquino said that elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police who dispersed the workers were “subjected to sniper fire coming from an adjacent barangay.”

    Aquino took the floor after party-list Representatives Rafael Mariano (Anakpawis) and Satur Ocampo (Bayan Muna) delivered stinging speeches condemning the violence.

    Mariano and Ocampo declined to be interpellated by Aquino, prompting the congressman to deliver his own speech.

    Illegal strike

    Aquino assailed the strike which saw workers blockading the entrance to the sugar mill.

    “It is an illegal strike. No strike vote was called,” he said, referring to the two unions involved in the strike.

    Aquino noted that 400 of the 736 workers in question had decided to return to work. “We have sought ways and means to alleviate the situation of our workers,” Aquino said.

    Commenting on the violent incident, Aquino said: “We condemn the violence that happened but is it directed at the right party?”

    He entered the session hall looking grim in the middle of Mariano’s speech. Eight people, including a child, died in the incident, according to Mariano.

    “We register our strongest condemnation of the violence against workers and farmers in Hacienda Luisita owned by the family of former President Corazon Aquino and the Deputy Speaker,” Mariano said.

    Strike justified

    Mariano said the strike was justified because of management’s removal from the rolls of 327 workers, including union leaders.

    “Isn’t this a violation of the right to organize by workers?” Mariano said.

    In an interview, Mariano said the dispersal brought to mind the massacre of farmers holding a demonstration at Mendiola Bridge leading to Malacañang in 1987.

    “I was afraid before that Hacienda Luisita will become another Mendiola massacre. My worst fears have come true,” Mariano told reporters.

    In his speech, Ocampo questioned the use of AFP troops in a labor dispute. Ocampo said the practice would pave the way for enforcing DOLE orders in a “militarized manner.”

    Jesus Pamposa, 51, who suffered gunshot wounds in both legs, said he saw snipers on one of the buildings in the sugar mill.

    As of last night, soldiers were hunting down protesters in Barangays Balete, Central and Mapalacsiao.

    The militant Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) said it would not lift the strike. “Even if blood is shed, the farm workers of Hacienda Luisita will never withdraw unless they get their just demands. The struggle (in the sugar plantation) already involves life and death,” KMP spokesperson Carl Ala said.

    Molotov bombs

    Assistant Labor Secretary Benedicto Ernesto Bitonio Jr. said the police and military first threw tear gas canisters at the protesters and were then forced to resort to violence after several people from the strikers’ side began throwing Molotov bombs and firing guns.

    Bitonio, citing the report of Francis Reyes, the DOLE sheriff in the area, said the authorities were originally set to disperse the picket at 2 p.m. and sought in vain the leaders of those assembled in front of the sugar central’s main gate.

  4. Carlo Ople says:

    To those saying that I can’t post anything like this:

    - I’ve written so many heavy and harsh pieces not just on Noynoy but on all the other Presidentiables. If the blogger event with Noynoy pushes through in January, I’ll definitely bring this up with him so I can get an explanation direct from the horses mouth.

  5. anonymous says:

    Thank you for the response Mr. Ople.

    On my part, I am not saying that you cannot post something like this. Of course, you can. It is yours anyway. What I just did was to express my disappointment regarding a respected blogger blogging about a (very obvious) dirty tactic and black propaganda against a person they (not you) desperately need to bring down. I mean, if the information is true, not misleading and not malicious, I would love to read it even it is against noynoy. More, I would love to see it here in this domain. I want to be informed anyway to make a wise choice on May 2010. But it is not the case. No offense but the way I see it is this:

    “An issue (resurrected a million times) being desperately used in a black propaganda and worse being discussed and posted by a respected blogger.”

    Thank you for the space. Good day!

  6. Carlo Ople says:

    @Anonymous:

    The reason why I wrote it is because Noynoy has been riding on a campaign of integrity, truth, justice, and everything saintly. At first I dismissed his involvement with the Hacienda incident but after seeing the newspaper clips, you can’t really help but ask why he did what he did.

    It only becomes black propaganda if what the material is saying isn’t true. But if it is true, then the issue has to be confronted and resolved.

    I received an e-mail from some contacts that will forward me photocopies of the actual articles. I’ll read through the entire thing and write another entry within the week.

    Hope you understand where I’m coming from bro.

    Thanks,
    Carlo

  7. Hymnrael says:

    To those screaming black propaganda, instead of whining. Could you please shed more light on the matter just like Hugis Itlog did. I for one would like to learn more about the issue XD

  8. Makabayang Kabataan says:

    It’s high time to show the real color of the candidates who is running for the highest position in the land… Ang linis niya kasing tingnan sa sa mga TV AD niya… I salute you ka-Carlo

  9. Princesa says:

    if facts need to be straightened out, we should hear it directly from the horse’s mouth. i have also seen the article in the Inquirer and obviously Noynoy needs to explain why he defended the HL dispersal. this is not black propaganda, this was published during the heat of the HL tragedy.

  10. Steph says:

    How do you know it’s black propaganda? How do you know it’s true? It’s easy to say i am willing to listen even if it’s against Noynoy if it’s not black propaganda but the slightest hint that something is against Noynoy it is automatically branded as black propaganda… The reason why issues like this one need to be revived a million times is that because it still has not been answered properly… Noynoy in 2004 was the spokesperson and defender of Luisita… how can he now suddenly take the moral high ground and say we want out??? People were killed and your focus is on was the strike illegal? Buhay po ang pinaguusapan dito… This issue will keep arising because Noynoy is accoountable the same way Erap is for his plunder, Villar for his C5, Gibo for his GMA ties… these issue will not stop and these are not blck propaganda because they all have basis and all these politicians need to be held accountable

  11. Janryll Fernandez says:

    @Carlo. I admire you for doing this and I dont think it makes you any less of a blogger for speaking about this issue. Bakit kaya hindi matanggap ng mga taga-suporta ni Noynoy yung mga kahinaan niya? What has he proven anyway when everybody knows his first qualification is his surname? Mar should have remained the LP standard bearer.

  12. Ramon says:

    I for one would like to know more about this violent incident. I do not see anything wrong about the post. I am looking forward to your next post.

    By the way, do you have a post regarding Gibo? I would just like to know if Gibo has anything to hide aside from his obvious connection with GMA.

    Thanks.

  13. Roman Quirino says:

    The blogger is not even objective considering that a relative of his is running under the party of the billionaire who wants to buy every airtime and would seek an ROI when he wins. Why does he not feature the C5 controversy and the kristong hari fiasco and even the peasants of Cavite displaced by subdivision projects?

  14. stellar says:

    I salute people who have this courage to give the public the right to be given an information about the “people who are after the highest position”…Bec in the end,we have our pens and decisions to put the name of the person we think deserves to be…
    It’s really surprising to see fr mags and newspapers how the artists support Noynoy.Well,if you notice,in certain villages and to some buildings,they do support Noynoy.But these are the wealthy people who in fact will be also be credited once Noynoy wins the position.
    But how about our underprivileged brothers?
    If Noynoy has a principle,he should have stood out even before he was asked to run for Presidency and prove himself first…no just bec other people BELIEVE him to continue what his parents started.

  15. anonymous says:

    Happy new year!

    First, I believe noynoy (or his group) had already given answers about the luisita issue.

    Then, if you really want to know these presidentiables, I salute carlo for the luisita issue (although it came from a black propaganda and believed to had been answered many times before). Also, please also watch this video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqds4z1Uk4I

    Sir carlo, the readers of your blog want to know more about the presidentiables. And I believe this video could be an important source of information. It came from media, not from paid propagandists. And the issue there has never been answered by the involved person.

    I know this will test whether juancountry.com is a blog of a respected blogger or just a blog of a marketing specialist with Ople as a last name.

    I will look forward for your response especially to the video.

    Thank you and God bless to you and your readers who are hungry of knowledge about the presidential aspirants.

  16. balatucan says:

    This video is clearly a black propaganda. Of course, the Ople’s are supporting the Manny Villar of of the C-5 road fame.

  17. django says:

    @balatucan : not at all black prop. read and learn

    “Had Noynoy not initiated the informal talks with the leaders of their protesting employees and farmworkers, the picketlines here should have had already been dismantled, either last Saturday evening or early on Sunday.”

  18. Concerned Juan says:

    The question is.. did Noynoy defended only the general subject of dispersal? or did he defended the “act of shooting”? I think it’s but natural for a part hacienda owner to defend any act of dispersal against the ones claiming their lands – but defending the act of shooting or massacre is other thing.

    Mr. Carlo Ople might claim about being non-biased against Noynoy – cut the bullshit and don’t make us look like idiots by your flowery choice of defense words. Your sister’s running on Villar’s camp. And the only goal of Villar’s campaign is to destroy Noynoy – and you Mr. Carlo Ople have become one of those attack dogs for Villar.

    What a shame. Nagagawa nga naman ng pera..

  19. Concerned Juan says:

    Let’s see if Mr. Ople will post anything against Villar on his future blogs or he starts switching Villar’s ads on top of this blog page in favor of other candidates to prove that he’s non-biased against the other presidentiables – especially Noynoy.

  20. lexaprone says:

    “Clean” doesn’t translate to “president.” I will not vote for Noynoy because, like his mother (also hailed as “clean’), he was railroaded into running for president. I want a president who is decisive and who has great respect for the middle class. Tama na yung “para sa mahirap”. Bigyang importansya naman nila yung honest taxpayers.

  21. anonymous says:

    @lexaprone:

    So, sino ang iboboto mo? Ang bilyonaryong gumastos na ng bilyon-bilyon at nagpapatayo ng mga goverment-funded roads malapit sa kanyang subdivisions para mag-increase price ng lots?

  22. anton says:

    these pro-noynoy people are laughable. they automatically brand anyone who is against their candidate as supporters of gibo or villar.

    what arrogance! has it occurred to them while their candidate is allegedly leading in the surveys, even if we hold those surveys are true, then half of the population will not vote for their candidate.

    have you thought that maybe we’d support villanueva, or gordon, or the ang kapatiran?

    noynoy supporters are the new nazi brownshirts. god save us kung kandidato nyo ang manalo.

  23. faith needs no reason says:

    noynoy had nothing to do with that massacre. don’t you see that he is the Son of Democracy (Cory being the Mother), and also, the Son of God? Don’t you dare say anything against Him; he is clean, he is spotless, he cannot do anything wrong. He is the son of Cory the Saint, after all. Saints cannot do anything that is not the will of God.

    Noynoy forever, Noynoy forever, Noynoy to death! He’s got to be the best gift the Lord has given the Philippines. Someday, we will realize that He is Jesus’ incarnate Himself.

    All ye faithful, let’s come and selflessly lick Noynoy’s a**! I’ve done it, and it tasted like manna from heaven.

  24. Socorro de Mesa says:

    It’s “Noynoy defends dispersal” not “Noynoy defends massacre”.

    sheesh!

  25. don't believe everything you read says:

    I saw these videos on You Tube. Read the explanations and watch. There’s another side to the things Noynoy and Peping said in the 11/7/04 inquirer story.

    Part 6 of 8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL6D6xS3dHY
    Sa parteng ito sinabi ni Noynoy Aquino na kusang pinili ng mga magsasaka ang SDO. Ito ay isang malaking pagsisinungaling. Panlilinlang at pananakot ang ginamit ng mga Cojuangco para mapapirma ang mga magsasaka sa SDO. Ang parteng ito din ang nagpapatunay na hindi totoo ang sinasabi ni Noynoy Aquino na wala siyang alam tungkol sa Hacienda Luisita dahil minority shareholder lang siya. Bago tumakbo sa pagka-presidente si Noynoy Aquino, lantad na marami siyang inaareglo para sa mga kamaganak niya sa Hacienda Luisita.

    Part 7 of 8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYIYWBQUqvI
    a parteng ito, nagharap si Noynoy Aquino ng mga opisyal ng unyon na tumangging may nirereklamo ang mga magsasaka. Ang mga taong ito ay hindi tunay na namumuno sa unyon. Mga mabababang opisyal lang sila na ginamit ng mga Cojuangco para ipagtanggol sila. Ang tunay na matataas na opisyal ng unyon ay inalis nila sa trabaho sa pamamagitan ng “union busting”. Sa parteng ito rin makikita na pinabulaanan ni Noynoy Aquino na P9.50 lang ang takehome pay ng mga magsasaka. Subalit kitang-kita sa video ang payslip na ang nakalagay ay P9.50. Sinabi ni Noynoy Aquino na hindi pwedeng mag-below minimum wage ang sahod na binibigay nila, dahil hahabulin sila ng gobyerno. Subalit pwedeng kumuha ng exemption sa gobyerno pag nagsabi ang isang kumpanya na ito ay nalulugi. Marahil ito ang nangyari sa Hacienda Luisita. Binagsak ang sweldo ng mga manggagawa habang unti-unting binebenta ang lupa ng asyenda sa mga malalaking investor.

    Part 8 of 8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl9Rh47L6P0
    Mahalagang komentaryo: Sa parteng ito, nagharap si Noynoy Aquino ng mga opisyal ng unyon na tumangging may nirereklamo ang mga magsasaka. Ang mga taong ito ay hindi tunay na namumuno sa unyon. Mga mabababang opisyal lang sila na ginamit ng mga Cojuangco para ipagtanggol sila. Ang tunay na matataas na opisyal ng unyon ay inalis nila sa trabaho sa pamamagitan ng “union busting”. Makikita rin dito ang interbyu kay Ric Ramos, ang totoong presidente ng unyon ng mga manggagawa sa azucarera. Pagkalipas ng isang taon, pinatay si Ric Ramos. Naniniwala ang kanyang pamilya na ang mga Cojuangco ang nagpapatay sa kanya.

  26. Kurt says:

    a black propaganda is only a black propaganda when it does not contain facts but only accusations without any real basis. this blog has a basis as shown by Hugis Itlog above. Noynoy, i believe, is not yet able to resolve this issue about the hacienda luicita. as far as im concerned, Noynoy is planning to sell hacienda luicita because, according to him, it is no longer profitable for his family to keep it. in this case, i think noynoy is still looking at the hacienda luicita issue from the business perspective and not from the social justice perspective. We should be vigilant about this issue. Voters should Know issues like in which the presidentiables are involved. With this, i acknowledge carlo ople for posting this blog BUT i also hope that he would post blogs that would expose those issues in which the other presidentiables are involved.

  27. chainloader says:

    it is noynoy himself that first rode on black propaganda – he is banking on the so called “sins” of the present administration – imho, he’s no saint nor a good leader as what he is boasting around – he wasted taxpayers money for doing nothing on both houses, he’s only good at finding fault of the others

    gising pinoy!!!

  28. chainloader says:

    i pity the filipino and the country and it disheartens me to see my countrymen being fooled, kudos for the job sir, it is our duty to inform every one and if necessary, go house to house to inform our countrymen, gasgas na yung PARA SA MAHIRAP and MALINIS at TAPAT and other similar na lines…

    let us educate our voters itigil na ang politics by popularity, wealth etc.

    maging mapanuri sana tayo!!!

  29. anonymous says:

    Tama si chainloader sir carlo, it is our duty to inform every one. I hope you inform everyone of the video I posted. I hope you will blog about it if you really want to educate the voters about the presidentiables. I know it’s tough for you but sometimes but as you said:

    Don’t forget that more than just a nephew and supporter of your aunt’s allies, you are also a Filipino and I don’t think nationalism also entails blind whole-hearted trust to your candidate of choice. Put that passion and energy into actual things that can help the country and maybe then you can make a real difference.

    That is a challenge Mr. Ople. Although it is ok if you will not take on this challenge of educating the voters about “ALL” presidentiables.

    Thank you!

  30. Ondoy Palaboy says:

    the supporters of noynoy refuse to hear the issues thrown at their god..i pity them for they live in a dream world

  31. No to NOYNOY says:

    NOYNOY is an but an egghead riding on the popularity of his father and mother. Actually, he don’t want to run for president because he knows he is not worth it. However, people surrounding him in the likes of Drilon,Abad, the Black and White movement and the so called Civil Society Group pushed poor Noynoy. What for? These groups are political opportunists! For instance, who are the people behind the Black and White movement and the Civil Society Group? These are political climbers who want to earn the moniker as “king makers” with an ulterior motive to dictate the poor Noynoy if, God Forbids!, Noynoy wins the Presidency.
    Of course, sychopants may call this black propaganda. But the truth always gets the ire of irrational individuals. To Carlo keep it up!

Tapos kayo na kahit papaano ay nakinabang din sa lupang ito dahil sa pag bubungkal ay biglang humihingi ng karapatan upang ankinin ang hindi inyo .

Marahil noon kayong magsasaka ay naki- usap pa sa mga may-ari ng Hacienda Luisita upang payagan magbungkal sa kanilang lupain at dito kayo nagsimulang mabuhay tapos ngayon gusto ninyo na itong angkinin dahil binungkal nyo ng mahabang panahon.Marahil naman naging mabuti rin ang mga may-ari nito sa inyo dahil kung inapi nga kayo o inabuso sa simula pa ng kayo ay manirahan doon tulad ng mga lumalabas na issues sa ngayon suguro hindi kayo inabot dyan ng century sa pagbubungkal ng kanilang lupain.At itong mahabang pagbubungkal ninyo ang ginagawa ninyong dahilan upang angkinin ang hindi inyo. hindi ho ako mayaman galing din po ako sa hirap pero itinanim ng aking mga magulang ang isang virtue huwag mag-nasa o umangkin ng hindi inyo, pasensya na po opinyon ko lang po ito

    @erlinda

    maganda ang virtue na sinasabo mo na turo ng magulang mo. subalit kapos ka sa kaalaman tungkol sa usapin ng hacienda luisita at kung papaano ito napasakamay ng mga cojuangco. totoo, na ito ay inutang na dolyar ang gamit subalit kasama sa kondisyon ng pagpapautang ng mga creditors ang kasunduaan na ipamamahagi ang lupang ito sa mga magsasaka pagkatapos ng 10 years (http://www.gmanews.tv/story/181877/hacienda-luisitas-past-haunts-noynoys-future) bilang pagkilala sa karapatan ng mga magsasaka na sinasaad ng Agrarian Reform Law, sa halip, ang mga cojuangco ay gumawa ng mga legal maneuvers para maikutan nila ang ARL,(http://www.gmanews.tv/story/182195/corys-land-reform-legacy-to-test-noynoys-political-will)

    sa huli kung si Noynoy ay sinsero sa sinasabi niyang di siya magnanakaw pag siya ay nahalal, kailngan niyang sagutin kung bakit hindi maibigay ng kanyang pamilya ang nararapat para sa mga magsasaka ng HL.

  36. thecure says:

    since when killing striking agri-workers become black propaganda?

    since when becoming a public official and defending the massacre of striking agri-workers become black propaganda?

    since when escaping from land reform for decades and snatching the lands from the farmers become black propaganda?

    those who are pro-noynoy with no clear reason or simply because “may kakilala,” “may kaibigan,” “idol ko si kris,”, “idol ko si cory,” or “ayoko kay villar,” or “feel ko lang,” you should contemplate and imagine yourselves being the victims of the cojuangcos in hacienda luisita. being killed simply because you are struggling for a better life and what is just.

  37. thecure says:

    hacienda luisita was acquired by the cojuangcos through a loan from the government using public funds, thus, “HINDI PINAGHIRAPAN NG MGA NINUNO NI NOYNOY ANG HACIENDA LUISITA, NINAKAW PA NGA NILA SA PUBLIC FUNDS, KAYA KALOKOHAN ANG SINASABI NI NOYNOY NA HINDI SYA MAGNANAKAW, DAHIL NAGNAKAW NA NGA ANG MGA NINUNO NYA.”

    Hey Carlo,

    Saw a link to your blog while searching in google, and I hope you won’t mind me posting a link here. It’s a bit graphic, btw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAinxViHi-U

  41. In response to Noynoy Aquino’s brushing aside of this important issue with the Filipino toiling masses, we in Kodao Productions decided to come up with a video commentary re: the Hacienda Luisita massacre and Noynoy Aquino.

    We post this statement to the Cojuangco-Aquino clan, especially come the 2010 elections and Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s presidential bid: Isn’t the election season the most opportune time to talk about the lives … and death of Hacienda Luisita’s farm workers?

    You can check it out on our news portal http://www.kodao.org/video/hacienda-luisita-massacre-outstanding-issue-people-vs-noynoy-aquino

    Thanks!

    Villar is a lie. His land development company Crown (Bulilit commercial) has been charged of stealing land and re-developing it to make money. He has been charged with land-grabbing. Do you really want another Erap Estrada and Gloria M-Arroyo? Come on Filipinos! Do not be blind!
