Hopefully this coming election, people won’t be persuaded by all the celebrities endorsing NoyNoy. I don't like any of of these celebrities anyway - they are the ones who irritate me the most. HEHEH...If Noynoy is really pro Pinoy, or pro-poor he should include Hacienda Luisita in the CARP.

Did Noynoy just turn the other way when men barely out of their teens were being shot at outside the Hacienda Luisita compound?
Noynoy’s demeanor as the Cojuanco family spokesman during the Hacienda Luisita standoff should be scrutinized. Blaming the strikers for the violence and not the company union or his family, here’s what Rep. Noynoy Aquino said in the third week of November, 2004 in response to the deaths of five hacienda workers ages 20-34:
Noynoy Aquino said:
We condemn the violence that happened but condemnation should be directed to the right party.(END)
Noynoy was condeming everyone else but the Cojuangco family, owners of Hacienda Luisita.
Blaming others for the standoff, Noynoy futher said the striking workers make up just a fraction of hacienda workers. He said 400 of the 736 strikers had climbed the walls of the mill to report for work in compliance with the labor department’s order suggesting that those who died were mere agitators.
Noynoy was Hacienda Luisita’s spokesman and the face of the land-owning family during this disturbing period which saw at least 8 farmers dead and many others wounded.
In the congressional investigation that followed the incident (Noynoy was Deputy Speaker then) someone testified that some of Noynoy’s men fired at the farmers.
These statements and incidents were reported in November-December 2004. Just scour the internet. They are not new and written just for these elections. They pose serious questions about Noynoy’s landlord-like hacendero character at the time, in addition to the fact that in 9 years in Congress he did nothing by way of substantive legislation to help workers, farmers and the poor.[/quote]
