 portland imc - 2006.05.02 - Philippines: Agrarian violence claims more lives under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Regime
In one case in Negros, a sixty-year old CARP beneficiary fondly 'Nanay Teresa Mameng' by her fellow peasants, was found dead after gunmen randomly fired at an agrarian reform community.
In both Negros Occidental and Oriental, more than 2, 000 Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) holders have not been installed in farm lands given to them because of strong resistance from hacienderos who resort to legal manipulations and violence to retain control over their land.
In the wake of this event, we urge the government to relentlessly pursue land reform in Negros in favor of the farmers to end the decadelong agrarian related violence instigated by resisting landowners in an effort to obstruct and delay the implementation of a legitimate program until it expires in 2008.
