Hacienda Luisita and Noynoy
A search around some Philippine Forum finds you both phrases and detrimental comments regarding the latest candidate for the Presidential race. Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino who has declared his intent to run for president on the 2010 elections was being commented on by people about the “Hacienda Luisita” event. However, the Senator has recently expressed that the Hacienda Luisita may have to be left because of the large debt incurred through the party because of labor disputes. The Hacienda Luisita has been owned by the Cojuangco-Aquino clan for 50 years and may now be facing financial difficulties. Activists have been asking for a statement from Senator Noynoy regarding the matter of Hacienda Luisita, criticizing the clan because they did not put the estate under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. Incidentally, the program was the focus of former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino, Noynoy’s mother. Now, they are asking for Senator Noynoy to state his position regarding agrarian reform.
This is only one of the demands asked for Senatoy Noynoy Aquino after he has declared his bid for presidency on the exact 40th day of his mother’s demise. Others demand that the senator introduces his specific platform for presidency. However, it seems that right now the sole Aquino male is concentrating on communing with the D and E classes. Noynoy has been visiting squatters situated in Quezon City and it seems that Noynoy is being welcomed by the masses. According to Noynoy, he was informed that he is currently well regarded in some surveys which were done nationwide. He added that the survey was not conducted by the Liberal Party in which he is the standard bearer.
Visits to the poor were usually done by former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada who has also expressed desired to run for president in 2010. According to Noynoy, talks with Estrada are not out of the picture.
