The exchange of arguments at the Supreme Court (SC) over the stock distribution option (SDO), the crux of the current conflict at the Hacienda Luisita of the Cojuangco-Aquino family of President Noynoy, points to the fact that political influence kept the farmers out of their rightful claim on the sugar estate, which goes way beyond the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) of Cory Aquino, Noynoy’s mother, to the time when his father Sen. Ninoy Aquino brokered the sale of the hacienda with President Magsaysay and Ninoy’s Cojuangco in-laws. Several administrations had tried to implement in vain the real intent of the sale of the land to the Cojuangcos, which was for the farmers to later own. It was always the intervention of an administration friendly to the Cojuangco-Aquinos that allowed the family to retain the estate.
