Sa matagal na nating hindi pagkaka intindi sa maraming isyu dito sa gma blognetwork, andres... ngayun lang ako sasang-ayon sa inyu.

Tama ka andres... With all due respect to madam cory pero hindi ako bilib sa kanya as a lider ng bansang pilipinas.

When she became president, COry had her chance to put to justice the mastermind of ninoy's murder. Cory had her chance to punish imelda and her cronies. Cory had her chance to retrieve back ALL the ill-gotten wealth of the marcoses. COry had her chance to change our corrupt way of governance but she FAILED.

No wonder COry is the only president, take note, the ONLY president with the highest number of coup attempts and the most bloody of coups. Bad leadership results to dissatisfaction among your subordinates which then boils to a COUP. The number of coups Cory has to face during her term reflects the kind of leader she was.

Andres.. for now.. I concur with you.

Ang bobo mo ALAHOY... mag research ka nga sa historical facts.

May documentary tungkol dyan sa pag exile ni marcos sa hawaii. Alam mo bang kung hindi dahil sa pag intervene ng mismong US president thru the CIA eh hindi aalis si marcos sa pwesto.

Ano naman ang people power na iyan eh tange at mga helicopter naman ang kabangga nila at excuse marami pa rin ang loyal kay marcos na mga high ranking military officers that time kagaya ni Gen. Ver.

Kung hindi nakumbense ng CIA si marcos, magtatagumpay kaya ang mga payong ng sibilyan laban sa machine gun ng sundalo dun? aber?

Try to think of it COry is no better than Arroyo...

No wonder they call it the "first Family" in malacanang kasi pamilya lang nila ang ini-una para payamanin.

Let's take a step back at history. COry was the president who signed into law the CARP bill. This law will redistribute the vast amount of farmlands owned by wealthy landlords to their respective peasants/farmers.

But Cory sensing her ver own Hacienda Luisita will be affected by the CARP law, was able to save her hacienda from being divided and distributed to her farmers by maneuvering behind loopholes of the flawed law. No wonder, the Aquinos own the still-intact hacienda.

Isnt that ironic... you're the president who signed the law and yet you're very own hacienda was protected from it? Cory you're as greedy as the arroyos. And let us not forget the massacre of farmers who tried to protest about it. They too deserve a yellow ribbon, right?

Papaano ako maging ala-dacer or missing person eh andito ako ngayun sa USA?! Aber?

And besides even if CORY really wanted to abuse her power as president hindi din cya magtatagumpay kasi sawa na si juan dela cruz sa pag abuso ng kapangyarihan dahil bago lang natapos ang martial law. So kahit gustuhin man ni cory ay tiyak hindi din nya makuha ang pag abuso ng authority nya baka mismong close in- security guard pa ang babaril sa kanya that time.

At please dont use our lord's name as your blog alias.. it's sickening... dont mock Him...

An article from WSWS.ORG

When former president Aquino came to power in 1986 on the wave of opposition to the Marcos dictatorship, she had to promise land reform. The resulting Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) held out the prospect of breaking up large sugar plantations such as the 5,000-hectare Hacienda Luisita.

Aquino, however, protected major landowners, such as her relatives in the Conjuangco family who had purchased the Hacienda Luisita in 1958 with funds supplied by the Central Bank of the Philippines and the Government Service Insurance System. They could evade land redistribution through a loophole in CARP known as the Stock Distribution Option (SDO).

The SDO allowed landowners to classify farm workers and tenants as stockholders or co-owners who would supposedly be given a share of profits. At the same time, there were many ways for landowners to avoid actual profit sharing.

The period leading up to the Hacienda Luisita killings saw intensifying agitation by peasants and farm workers across the country for the repeal of the SDO and for land reform. The government’s lethal response was meant to both assist the management to crush the dispute and ensure that it did not become the focal point for a broader movement.

The bloody repression against the Hacienda Luisita strikers, followed by the official exoneration of the perpetrators, has been followed by a wave of violence against peasant farmers, plantation workers and unionists. Over the past year, murders, abductions and other forms of violent harassment have occurred on an almost weekly basis.

According to the Manila-based group Alliance for the Advancement of Human Rights, there were 116 political murders in the Philippines in the first 10 months of 2005. All remain unsolved, although AFP soldiers and PNP officers have been implicated in most of them.

Many of the slain were directly associated with the Hacienda Luisita dispute or with the farm workers’ movement for land. On the evening of January 5, 2005, four gunmen shot two workers after ramming a luxury sports utility into a picket line at the Hacienda Luisita sugar mill. One of the workers was critically injured.

On October 25, Central Azucarera de Tarlac Labor Union (CATLU) president Ricardo Ramos, who played a central role in the Hacienda Luisita dispute, was slain by unknown gunmen. While local Tarlac police subsequently identified two AFP soldiers as possible suspects, neither was arrested. To minimise popular dissent over the Ramos killing, Arroyo ordered the PNP to carry out an inquiry. Given the findings of its Hacienda Luisita investigation, the new inquiry is sure to be another whitewash.

On November 21, AFP troops killed nine farm workers at the Barangay San Agustin plantation in Palo, Layte. Many more were injured and hospitalised after soldiers opened fire on the tent where workers had assembled. The military claimed the protesters were NPA members, but locals said they were unarmed and were members of Bayan Muna (People First), a leftist group, protesting against the landlord’s refusal to implement CARP.

Other prominent figures murdered since the Hacienda Luisita repression include Francisco Rivera, a Bayan Muna activist, and his two close friends who were gunned down last year while they were out jogging. In September, Diosdado Fortuna, the Nestlé union president and chairman of the regional branch of Kilusang Mayo Uno (May First Movement) was shot while on his way home from a picket at the Swiss-based company.

Alongside outright repression, the government has attempted to placate popular opposition and rein in the movement for land reform by offering certain limited concessions. At the end of last year, the validation committee of the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council upheld a Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) recommendation to scrap the SDO loophole.

The resolution also recommended placing the Hacienda Luisita under the CARP’s compulsory or mandated land-acquisition scheme, raising the possibility of some land redistribution. The CARP decision is still pending. Even though large areas of the estate have already been sold off, including some of its most productive land, the owners are hotly disputing the DAR recommendation.

Their legal representative Vigor Mendoza told the media last month that the company intended to examine the DAR resolution and “decide our options from there”. Mendoza warned: “If the decision is contrary to law then we’ll take the appropriate action.”

As they have done in the past, the Conjuangcos intend to use their vast wealth and influential connections to tie up the decision in never-ending legal challenges. Behind the scenes, further violence will be prepared against farm and plantation workers and tenants who oppose them.

Please do a research on the hacienda luisita massacre and why it was not affected by the CARP law.

Para sa mga fans ni COry..

Paki research naman sa internet ang mga keywords na ito:

1. Hacienda Luisita and Carp Law
2. Hacienda Luisita Massacre

And then you will know kung anong klaseng tunay na pagkatao ni Cory at hindi lang basta sa media na inyung nakikita...

Bakit pa nagalit kayu sa akin?

Mag research nga kayu sa mga keywords na iyan at sana maliwanagan din kayu sa tunay na pagkatao ni CORY.. hindi lang puro paghanga na siya ay isang santo.

Punta kayu sa tarlac, sa Hacienda Luisita at magtanong kayu dun... Huwag lang maniwala sa akin... Do your own research...

Bakit ang mismong mga taga Hacienda Luisita ay walang media coverage sa kanilang pagluluksa kay COry? Hmmm...

Smart... Ano ba ang tawag mo sa taong pumirma para ma-aprubahan ang isang batas para madistribute ang mga napakalawak na lupain na pinagmamay-ari lang ng isang pamilya ngunit ang mismong hacienda nya ay siniguro at hindi sinama sa batas ng CARP?

Isang hypocrito... yan si CORY nung presidente cya.. kasi cya mismo ang nag apruba sa batas ngunit yung hacienda luisita nya ay nilusotan ang batas.

Syempre, kung ako ang may-ari ng hacienda luisita at ako ang nag apruba ng CARP eh di ipamimigay ko ang lupain... pero if talagang hindi ko gustong ipamigay eh di hindi ko pipirmahan ang CARP law para magpakatotoo ako at hindi kagaya ni cory.
