A glimpse of Hacienda Luisita

I knew this famous Hacienda during 2004, were farmers were killed. Thats all I know, well aside that it is own by the famous figures in our country.

As I searched on Wikipedia ,Hacienda Luisita is a 6 435 hectares own by the Cojuangco family which includes former president Corazon Aquino and her son Benigno “noynoy” Aquino who is now running for the highest position in the Philippines. The hacienda is as large as a two cities combines. Well apparently is very large. And the history of these estates is being divided into 8 periods The Hacienda was originally owned by Compania General de Tobacoo de Filipinas, a Holding company owned by the Spaniards. It was during 1950’s that the hacienda was owned by Don Pepeng Cojuango ( father of former president Corazon Aquino) when then the late President blocked the sells of the hacienda to the Lopes’.. Fearing that the lopes’ would be to powerful if the still own the hacienda having these alredy own the meralco and ABS-CBN and other land properties in the western visayas. President Agsaysay offered the land to the Cojuangco’s.

That’s all I now about the hacienda Luisita. Now the issues here, the family garnered criticism of the ownership of the land. Some people views it as oligarchy. Second is that on November 16, 2004 were 12 farmers and their children were brutally killed and hundreds were injured. The protestors were fighting a fairer wage, increase benefits and a greater assurance of the land reform.

the game is on

Survey says that Liberal Party bet for President in the Republic of the Philippines Benigno "noynoy" Aquino jr. leads over his closes contender Manny Villar. A statistic base on SWS latest survey, Forty Days before may 10.

The Game for staying in Malacanang is really on. You can really tell from its different T.V advertisement... from ''Villar's tunay na mahirap'' to ''sulong gibo'' then to ''noynoy's kung walang corruption, walang mag hihirap'' . And from every corners of the streets, there faces are everywhere. Six people are running for the highest office of our country and if luckily will win it will take six years for him to prove that he deserves to be called our 15th PRESIDENT.People are arguing on whose to vote. or what team are you in; team green for greener Philippines, team yellow for "dilaw para sa pag babago" or team orange for Villar.

The issue here is weather who is the right person to vote. People says VOTE FOR VILLAR for he is the real Person to vote. He is well experienced compared to all other candidates. some says also VOTE for GIBO because his skills were proven under his term as secretary of national defense and VOTE FOR NOY, for he is not corrupt. So which is which? who deserve our vote for the betterment of our nation?

But being a president doesn't stop from being diligent or having a background of a great education or skills. I believe in this thing. " di bali nang hindi magaling basta hindi lang palpak' I got this from halalan 2010 of ANC. and I think this statement says it all.

All candidates wants room for change for our nation...from ''Villar's tunay na mahirap'' to ''sulong gibo'' then to ''noynoy's kung walang corruption, walang mag hihirap'' I believe if u are running for a higher office u want for a betterment of Philippines.. and besides changes for the betterment of our nation is not only the job of our President to be...its for the cabinet secretaries as well... for the senators and representative and even for barangay captain.

Lets play the game until it ends on May 10. And I encourage my fellow youth to be active this election. The 2010 election is crucial for WE break the tradition. Its the first time that we will be using the computerized election in the history of the Philippines. The 2010 election will be administered by the Commission on Elections in compliance with the Republic Act No. 9369, also known as Amended Computerization Act of 2007. It will be the first national computerized election in the history of the Philippines.

There will be one question... WHO WILL WIN and who will holds this SEAL ABOVE.

a tribute

August 1, 2009 at 3:18am, our beloved president died. I just knew the news when I opened my computer to check some emails... "Corazon Aquino, Philippines president, dead at 76" that was the headline at yahoo news regarding at Aquino's death.

THE EPITOME OF A STRONG WOMAN

As what i remembered, I knew Cory Aquino when I was in Grade Six.She was part of our history lesson. All I know that She was our former President, that's it!... It was during High school that I do have a full view at Cory Aquino's life...

We will surely miss her as a president, a leader, Asia's first female president and world-renowned advocate of democracy. Yes! She brought back the word D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y at our country when she stood up during the height of the revolution .A simple house wife turned out to be the great president.

She successfully surpassed the seven coup attempt. Our country was broken when Aquino became President. Also, she formed a revolutionary government where the power was all at her hand,instead of having these great power she made a freedom constitution to guide her government. During her termed, 1987 constitution was made and ratified.

She was an Epitome of a strong woman! Her death was a great lost. I will be praying for her! As a Filipino, I do have a responsibility to pray for our GREAT PRESIDENT. She is well loved by filipinos, An idol... An Icon!

I asked myself, why I do I mourn to a person I do not know personally? Well apparently aside from being a former president, she is an inspiration to me. She symbolizes a woman of courage,hope and faith. Despite of difficulties in life; from Ninoy's imprisonment then to His Assassination,Cory remains to be a prayerful. She believes that Prayer is still the most effective ways in dealing such sufferings. As she dies today, August 01 , 2009 ; She goes away with her unveiling faith.

The True Working President

She was the 11th President of the Philippines.

Goodbye, President Corazon C. Aquino. There will be no other Cory Aquino. You are indeed our great President! We have lost a mother... My goodbye...Our Goodbyes...
