The fight for social justice of the Hacienda Luisita farmerworkers beneficiaries (FWB) is far from over.
In the news, Kilusang
Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) and 200 farmers held a vigil at the Mendiola
Bridge near Malacañang last Thursday to express their fear that the “verification
process being carried out by the DAR was an attempt by the Cojuangco owners to
evade the distribution of their 4,300-hectare sugarcane estate under the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).” They “demanded that the
Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) release the original list of
farmer-beneficiaries of the Cojuangco-owned Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac.”
