A legislator joined the calls of farmers and farmworkers on the Supreme Court (SC) to end its initiated mediation proceedings on the agrarian dispute involving the 6,500-hectare Hacienda Luisita owned by the family of President Aquino.
Anakpawis Rep. Rafael Mariano yesterday said he is wondering why the SC appears to be retreating on the main issues of the case. “After the oral arguments, the case is ripe for decision,” Mariano said.
“It seems that the Cojuangco-Aquinos, after returning to political power, are now moving heaven and earth to maintain their immoral ownership and control over the hacienda,” Mariano said.
