Hacienda Luisita massacre: An outstanding issue of the people on Noynoy Aquino

Six years after, the Hacienda Luisita massacre remains an outstanding issue of the Filipino toiling masses against the Cojuangco-Aquino clan. This brief video commentary talks about why it is very important come the 2010 elections and Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's presidential bid, to tackle the issue of the massacre and reflect on the life ... and death of the Luisita farm workers.

Will there be a version with English subtitles?

I'm a teacher of Filipino history here in the states [at the high school level] and have used Kodao docs in the past in my curriculum. I would love to show this to my students, but need an english subtitled version for my Fil-Am youth who have been kept from their mother tongue.thank you

In response to a YouTube user comment:

Hi.  Thanks for viewing.  Our video posits an answer to Sen Aquino's premise that Luisita should not be an election issue.  We believe otherwise.  We have been covering the Luisita issue even before the massacre in 2004.  The video was not personal but entirely political.  It also was not intended to suggest that Villar is an ideal candidate.  Kodao does not have a presidential bet.  We do not want our hands tied in case we intend to produce more such videos questioning the policies and programs of the next president on various social issues--whoever wins the May 10 elections.

On a personal note, I have known Ka Satur and Liza Maza for twenty years already.  I share their advocacy for genuine agrarian reform and social justice.  My high regard for their unblemished record as legislators is unaffected by their being guest candidates of one Party.  In fact, it is high time that their brand of progressive politics is injected into traditional politics.  I believe they do the influencing, rather than being influenced by traditional politicians. I will vote for them.  Sana, ikaw din.

"Liberal Party

"Liberal Party standard-bearer Noynoy Aquino and his cohorts are committing grave and brazen acts of dishonesty on the issue of land reform, specifically on the just demand of farmers and farm workers for the redistribution of the vast Hacienda Luisita landholding owned by his family." Read the rest at "Land reform remains an unresolved national issue Aquino can't lie about" by Tonyo Cruz, Asian Correspondent website

Kodao's latest video on

Kodao's latest video on Hacienda Luisita is fearless and definitely objective. It's objective bias for Hacienda Luisita farm workers is worthy of the working class praise and the recognition of truth and justice seeking public in general. Wala pang eleksyon nandyan na ang Hacienda Luisita issue regarding the Cojuangco camp's deception and ... See Moreexploitation of farm workers since time immemorial. may election man o wala, laging nariyan ang isyu dahil hanggang ngayon wala pang lupa at katarungan at patuloy na umaasta ang mga aristorkratang Aquino bilang mga Diyos ng Hacienda Luisita.

Those who are saying that this is a black propaganda against Noynoy are misleading the public, political arrogants and downplaying the real essence of Luisita folks' struggle. They (Noynoy and his gang) are nothing but political apologists of the Noynoy camp, they are feudal aristocrats who are anti-genuine land reform, anti-farmer and anti-people. Let this video as an instrument of truth and justice reaches the people and the public.

galing! this will surely

galing! this will surely help Filipinos vote astutely. keep this up.

JUSTiCE

Napakaganda nito.  pero

Napakaganda nito.  pero meron kayang merong english subtitles?  or narration in english? ipapalabas ko sana sa klase ko pero tagalog 1 lang ang isa kong klase sa uc berkeley.  puwede itong ipalabas.  last year, sa isang video.  gumawa naman ng sentences ang mga bata.  heto ang examples:  1.  matapang ang mga magsasaka.  2. umiyak ang mga magsasaka.  3.  binaril ang magsasaka.  pero simple sentences only.  so pakiusap ko lang, pakilagyan naman ng subtitles.
