“The arduous struggle for land distribution of Hacienda
Luisita is just and legitimate, as landlords Cojuangcos and Aquinos continue to
deny the return of land to its tillers, a condition which constituted the
original agreement between the Cojuangcos and the Magsaysay government way back
in 1967,” said Jigs Clamor, Karapatan Deputy Secretary General, on the “bungkalan”
and land occupation of peasant farmers and farmworkers dubbed as #OccupyLuisita
campaign.
