I think it's about time that a new law should say: You can only name a street if you are the one who built it. NO RENAMING of streets! Gulong gulo na po ako!

If there is an Anti-Epal bill, there should be an Anti-Name-Pal (name palit) bill! Ha ha ha! Leave our effin Street names alone!


Parang awa na ninyo mga kongresista mas madami pong mas mabibigat na problema ang bansa pakiuna na po yun please lang! Hayz!

Nakaka sad talaga na ang ibang kongresista magkaroon lang ng batas o ng pagkakataon para magsipsip tsk! Inuuna pa yan kaysa sa kapakanan ng nakakarami yan po ba ang daang matuwid?

HACIENDA LUISITA ORDERED TO BE DISTRIBUTED

SUPREME COURT, in 14-0 vote, ordered distribution of land to farmer beneficiaries of Hacienda Luisita.

SC realizing that farmer-beneficiaries will not benefit from the distribution of shares of stock, the Supreme Court has ordered the distribution of 4,915.7466 hectares (has.) of Hacienda Luisita, the sugar estate owned by the relatives of President Benigno Aquino III.

 

In a 56-page resolution promulgated Wednesday and penned by Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr., the high court modified its decision in July that allowed 6,296 farmer-beneficiaries to choose between ownership of agricultural land or shares of stock representing the value of the sugar estate.

"In line with our finding that control over agricultural lands must always be in the hands of the farmers, we consider our ruling that the qualified FWBs (farm worker beneficiaries) should be given an option to remain as stockholders of (Hacienda Luisita Inc.), inasmuch as these qualified FWBs will never gain control given the present proportion of (the) shareholdings," the new decision states.

The decision explained that the stock distribution plan put forward by the management will never provide the control sought by the Farm Worker Beneficiaries. Control, in this case, means 50% plus at least one share of the common shares.

Taking into account the P590,554,220 total assets of HLI, the value of the land in question is P196,630,000 or 33.296%.

There is even no assurance that 100% of the 118,391,976.85 shares issued to the FWBs will all be voted in favor of staying in HLI, taking into account the previous referendum among the farmers where said shares were not voted unanimously in favor of retaining the stock plan.

The high court noted that if the farmers choose stocks, they will be treated as common shareholders not protected by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law.

HLI ordered to pay P1.33 billion to beneficiaries

The SC also reiterated its ruling in July ordering HLI to pay the 6,296 farmers a total of P1.33 billion broken down as follows:
P500 million HLI received from Luisita Realty Inc. for the sale of 200 hectares of land in 1996;

P750 million for the sale of the Luisita Industrial Park; and,
P80,511,500 for the sale of the 80.51-hectare lot for the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) road network.

The 3% of the proceeds of the transfers that were paid earlier to the farmers shall be deducted from the P1.33 billion.

The just compensation for the landowners, on the other hand, will be assessed by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the Land Bank of the Philippines.

The valuation compensation will be reckoned from November 21, 1989, the date of the issuance of the original resolution that was questioned by HLI.

DAR was ordered to submit a compliance report after 6 months from finality of judgment. It was also ordered to submit quarterly reports on the execution of the judgment.

President Aquino divested his shares from Hacienda Luisita Inc. following his victory in the May 2010 presidential elections. It is now owned mainly by his uncles and aunts.

During the 2010 election campaign, he promised to find ways and means to transfer the assets of Hacienda Luisita to farmer beneficiaries. He also said he had asked his "extended family" to support his position.

 

It was a unanimous decision, where 14 of 15 magistrates voted for the distribution of lands. Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio did not take part.
