Ang KATOTOHANAN hinggil sa HACIENDA LUISITA: Cory Aquino's Legacy

Binili ng COJUANGCO ang Azucarera De Tarlac using Government Fund. Ibig sabihin, pera ng Gobyerno ang ginamit na pambili ni Cojuanco sa Azucarera De Tarlac. Binili ito noong Panahon pa ng termino ni Magsaysay.

May kondisyon ang pautang na ito. Bibilin rin ng Cojuangco ang Hacienda Lusita sa kondisyong ibibigay nito sa mga magsasaka ang lupa pagkaraan ng 10 Taon. NGUNIT hindi ito nangyari.



This week the country commemorates the tragic shooting of protesting farmers on January 22, 1987, an incident better known as the Mendiola massacre. Along with the Hacienda Luisita massacre of November 16, 2004, these two incidents represent the darker side of the Aquino legacy.

The struggle between farmers and landowners of Hacienda Luisita is now being seen as the first real test of character of presidential candidate Noynoy Cojuangco Aquino, whose family has owned the land since 1958. Our research shows that the problem began when

government lenders obliged the Cojuangcos to distribute the land to small farmers by1967, a deadline that came and went. Pressure for land reform on Luisita since then reached a bloody head in 2004 when seven protesters were killed near the gate of the sugar mill in what is now known as the Luisita massacre. This is the story of the hacienda and its farmers, an issue that is likely to haunt Aquino as he travels the campaign trail for the May 2010 elections. Below is part one.
