		<description>&quot;Jaime Tadeo said he did not believe in the Constitution and that a genuine land reform could not be implemented under a landlord-controlled congress.&quot;

TOTOO NAMAN. WALANG ESENSYAL NA NAGBAGO SA KABUHAYAN NG MGA MAGSASAKA SA ILALIM NG CARP NI AQUINO. ILANG MAGSASAKA PA ANG UMAASA NA MAKUHA ANG LUPA NILA NA HANGGANG NGAYON AY DI PA RIN IPINAMAHAGI SA ILALIM NG CARP? ILANG MAGSASAKA NA ANG NABIGYAN NG LUPA NA NAPILITAN NAMANG IBENTA ANG NAKUHANG LUPA SA PANGINOONG MAYLUPA DAHIL SA KAWALAN NG SUPORTA GALING SA GOBYERNO?

&quot;At the time, government intelligence report indicated that the KMP rank &lt;B&gt;was heavily infiltrated by elements of the CPP/NPA&lt;/B&gt;.  Intelligence reported that an insurrection was impending and the threat so grave that reports indicated that San Beda College and Centro Escolar University would be forcibly occupied.

No longer the opposition, the Aquino Administration had to defend itself.&quot;

STANDARD LINES NG MILITAR AT IBANG REPRESIBONG APARATA NG ESTADO GALING SA REHIMEN NI MARCOS HANGGANG SA KASULUKUYANG REHIMEN NI ARROYO UPANG ISAKATWIRAN ANG MARAHAS NA PAG-LABAG SA KARAPATAN NG MAMAMAYAN NA MAKAPAGPAHAYAG SA KANILANG HINAING SA MAPAYAPANG PARAAN. 

&quot;Pillboxes, stones, bottles where thrown.  Steel bars, wooden clubs and lead pipes were used against the police. The police line was breached but when shots were fired, demonstrators withdrew towards CM Recto as government forces continued to fire sporadically.&quot;

ANG KARAHASAN NG ESTADO ANG TUMURO SA MGA MAGSASAKA NG MGA PARAAN UPANG MAGDEPENSA. NGUNIT ANO ANG LABAN NG BATO AT PILLBOX SA BALA NG MILITAR AT PULIS?

&quot;The price of violence was twelve people dead.  Land reform defeated before it started.&quot;

TAMA. PINATAY NG REHIMENG AQUINO ANG MGA MAGSASAKANG HINAING LAMANG AY TUNAY NA REPORMA SA LUPA. WALA TALAGANG INTENSYON ANG REHIMENG AQUINO NA MAGPATUPAD NG REPORMA SA LUPA. PALPAK NGA KAHIT DI PA NAUMPISAHAN.

&quot;They found themselves boxed into the corner of irrelevancy with the middle class showing them disdain.&quot;

AT DITO LUMALABAS ANG SUBJECT POSITION NG SUMUSULAT. GALING SA PUNTO DE BISTANG PANGITNAANG URI NA MAKA-KANAN, KONTRA-KALIWA, KONTRA-MAGSASAKA, AT MILITARISTA/PASISTA.

&quot;By the end of 1987, the Aquino Administration waged a war against the Communist insurgency.&quot;

SA ILALIM NG US-BACKED LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT/TOTAL WAR NI AQUINO, LINAMPASAN PA ANG REKORD NG PAG-ABDUCT NG MGA LIDER-AKTIBISTA, AKTIBISTA, AT ORDINARYONG MAMAMAYAN SA PANAHON NI MARCOS... PATULOY PA RIN ANG PAGLABAG SA KARAPATANG PANTAO. WALANG PINAGKAIBA SA ESENSYA ANG REHIMENG AQUINO AT MARCOS...

		<description>well... a hungry man is definitely a grumpy man.

sino ba naman hindi magagalit, si cory ang gumawa ng agrarian reform pero kung ano anong loopholes naman ang meron kaya up to now yung mga farmers na umaasa eh wala parin nakukuhang lupa. 

yeah, give them stocks instead of land. defeats the conditions of several banks who lent millions to the aquinos. &quot;allocate the land to small farmers&quot; 

I really dont get why the Aquinos are so overrated.</description>

		<description>actually, the lateness of the US government to acknowledge the growing opposition is regarded by the US congress (in a published report) as a failure to protect US interest.

As for agrarian reform, it has failed to improve farmers’ lives and it has disastrously ruined the Philippines’ agricultural industry.</description>

		<description>I disagree. The findings speak for itself:

&quot;The KMP farmers broke off further negotiations with the MAR officials and were determined to march to Malacañang, emboldened as they are, by the inflammatory and incendiary utterances of their leader, Jaime Tadeo — “bubutasin namin ang barikada . . Dadanak and dugo . . . Ang nagugutom na magsasaka ay gagawa ng sariling butas. . .&quot;</description>

		<description>The author wasted several paragraphs to describe totally irrelevant events leading up to the mendiola massacre. The overt intent is to potray Jaime Tadeo vis-a-vis the KMP as a boorish, unreasonable, and violent lot: the kind of group that deserves what&#039;s coming to them.

It is irrelevent because the the proof is in the pudding. History has already exposed the sham agrarian reform program of the aquino administration. It didn&#039;t matter if Tadeo waited for the ratification of the 1987 constitution. It didn&#039;t matter whether KMP&#039;s demands were moderate or &quot;radical&quot;. In the final analyis, the Aquino presidency was never interested in implementing genuine land reform. Tadeo and KMP were correct all along. 

We are also presented with the ridiculous argument that the inflammatory words of Tadeo shows the &quot;true intent&quot; of the protesting farmers. Please. The detested Marcos regime used the same logic to justify warrantless arrest during martial law. Ditto with the Arroyo administration.</description>

		<description>Ahhh, you are a radical, Bert. I&#039;d be happy with &quot;...everyone the chance to rise to their highest levels.&quot;  But I&#039;d give the very poor a push since some of them are just too malnourished to have the energy to compete. Especially the sons and daughters of the very poor I would want a push. Yes, I want progressive taxation (those with higher income pay a higher percentage of their income as taxes) so that the children of the very poor get to remain in school, with funds for minimum caloric and vitamins/minerals sustenance, so that they finish high school from when they at least have a fighting chance for a decent life.</description>
