| Subject: Mendiola Massacre January 22nd 2008, 9:54 am | |
| Farmers remember Mendiola massacre By Gerald G. LacuartaInquirer News Service - THOUSANDS of farmers from Southern Tagalog and Central Luzon are set to converge at the historic Don Chino Roces Bridge in Manila on Wednesday to recall the horrors of the infamous "Mendiola Massacre." Sixteen years is apparently not enough to obliterate the nightmare: On Jan. 22, 1987, 13 farmers were killed at the site -- still called Mendiola Bridge at the time -- in a strafing by anti-riot forces.
The militant Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), to which the victims had belonged, said it would mobilize members from Southern Tagalog, Central Luzon, Cordillera, and the Bicol regions to stage a "peasants' version" of the Catholic Church's "Fourth World Meeting of Families," which also starts Wednesday.
Today's commemoration would be led by the families of dead as well as the survivors, who were still seeking justice, according to current KMP chair Rafael Mariano.
Anti-riot personnel from the Western Police District, the Integrated National Police, and the Philippine Marines had opened fire on a protest rally of 10,000 peasants demanding "genuine land reform" under the newly installed Aquino administration.
After the shooting, Danilo Arjona, Leopoldo Alonzo, Adelfa Aribe, Dionisio Bautista, Roberto Caylao, Vicente Campomanes, Ronilo Dumanico, Dante Evangelio, Angelito Gutierrez, Rodrigo Grampan, Bernabe Laquindanum, Sonny Boy Perez, and Roberto Yumul lay dead. More than 80 others were wounded.
The massacre scuttled ongoing peace talks between the government and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines. A year later, the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (Carp) was passed by Congress and signed into law by then President Corazon Aquino.
According to the KMP's narration of events, peasants and fisherfolk started a camp-out on Jan. 15, 1987 in front of the Ministry of Agrarian Reform building in Quezon City. They were clamoring for the complete realization of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (Carp) that Pres. Aquino had promised to implement.
Five days later, KMP leaders headed by Jaime "Ka Jimmy" Tadeo held a dialogue with then Agrarian Reform Minister Heherson Alvarez, but the talks bogged down. On Jan. 22, the farmers decided to march to Malacanang, to present their demands directly to Aquino.
The march started from the MAR camp-out at 10:30 a.m., with more rallyists from the student, women, labor and urban poor sector joining along the way. They stopped to hold a brief program at the Liwasang Bonifacio fronting the Manila Central Post Office at 1 p.m. Finally at 4:30 p.m., the protesters, now numbering close to 15,000 proceeded to the Palace.
At the foot of Mendiola bridge, the anti-riot squads blocked the path with four six-by-six trucks and eight fire trucks. Pandemonium broke loose when the marchers pressed on. Still according to the KMP account, an explosion was followed by the hurling of pillboxes, stones and bottles. When the police line was breached, gunshots rang out. The demonstrators disengaged, but sporadic firing continued.
Danilo "Ka Daning" Ramos, current KMP secretary-general, recalled how his comrades fell as they were shot "like chickens in the wild." He was 31 years old, and the spokesperson for the Alyansa ng Magbubukid ng Bulacan.
"They were heavily armed," Ramos said. "They were out to kill us. When we tried to flee, soldiers aboard owner-type jeeps continued to fire at us. We all shouted for them to stop, but our cries fell on deaf ears."
Immediately after the incident, Aquino issued Administrative Order No. 11 creating the Citizens' Mendiola Commission headed by retired SC Justice Pedro Abad Santos, with retired Justices Jose Peria and Antonio Miranda as members.
On Feb. 27, 1987, the commission recommended the criminal prosecution of four unidentified, uniformed individuals shown either on film footage or in photographs firing in the direction of the marchers. It also recommended the prosecution of all the commissioned officers of both the Western Police District and the INP Field Force, who were armed during the incident.
The House Committee on Human Rights, on Feb. 10, 1988, recommended the "expeditious payment of compensation" to the victims.
On their own, the victims' families and the survivors filed charges against the government and several police and military officers for damages amounting to 6.5 million pesos. Among the defendants were former Pres. Fidel Ramos, who was then National Defense Secretary; former AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Renato de Villa; former WPD Superintendent B/Gen. Alfredo Lim; Sen. Rodolfo Biazon, then chief of the Philippine Marines; B/Gen. Brigido Paredes, former Marines commandant; Col. Edgar dela Torre and Col. Romeo Monfort of the defunct Capcom; and former PNP Chief Cesar Nazareno, then WPD deputy superintendent.
On May 31, 1988, Judge Edilberto Sandoval of Branch 9 of the Manila Regional Trial Court dismissed the P6.5-million class suit filed by relatives of the 13 farmers against the Aquino administration. On August 8, 1988, the Supreme Court upheld the RTC decision, citing the government's immunity from suit.
The case was "dismissed with finality." To date, no one has been indicted, and the victims have not been compensated. "It seems the death of our 13 farmers is meaningless. There's no genuine agrarian reform in sight," Tadeo lamented on Tuesday." With Christine A. Gaylican and Marlon Ramos | |

| Kapag ikaw ay bumangga sa pader siguradong durog ka bago ka makalusot. Masakit pa nito ay kung lulusot ka nga.
Kung hindi ipaaalala ang nangyari nuon ay maaaring ang mga Kabataan ngayon ay mismong humarang sa katarungan na hinihingi ng mga biktima at ng kanilang mga naiwan.
Tulad ng mga Sumilao Farmers kailangan na patuloy na ipaalala na KARAPATAN ng MALILIIT ang kanilang ipinaglalaban. Hindi sila kaaway ng Gobyerno. Hindi sila mga masasamang tao. Mga magsasaka sila na binigyan ng ating Konstitusyon ng karapatang magmay-ari ng Lupang Kanilang Sinasaka. Kung atin silang binigyan ng karapatan sana naman huwag na natin silang pahirapan pa. | |

naku, kakaabang nga ng kapulisan sa eksena sa mendiola, eh may nalooban tuloy na banko sa may bandang erodriguez... hahays.
si juan de la cruz... talaga! kaliwa o kanan, parehas pasaway.
agree ako sa last sentence ng last paragraph. pero hindi nasusunod ang premise na iyan. bigay bawi ang pamahalaan. bibigyan ng CLOA tapos icoconvert naman pala, bibigyan ng win win resolution, tapos, ibabasura ng SC, ngayon verbal na pangako ng nunal sa palasyo... ayon naman po... hindi pa rin tinutupad... parang batang pinaglaway sa kendi, pinaabot pa sa kanya, ng didilaan na dinagit ng kung anong pwersa... anong mangyayari... ewan ko na lang kung di magunaw ang mundo ng bata... magkikisi magwawala mawiwindang papalahaw iiyak mambabato... hay... eh kung di na yan bata... wag na sanang hintayin pang madami ang mapuno... | |

| Ibig sabihin ng Pader ay yung mga Taong nasa kapangyarian.
kailangan na Ipaalala ito ng ipaalala upang ang aral ng mga nagdaang karanasan ay maging gabay sa mga darating pang kahalintulad na mg kaganapan.
Tulad iyan ng Pagmamahal ng Diyos Ama sa kanyang Bayang Hinirang na paulit-ulit na ikinuwento sa pasalinsaling lahi. Ganyan rin ang kailangan nating gawin. Ikuwento ng ikuwento ang mga aral na natutunan natin sa ating kasaysayan upang ang mga Kabataan sa panahon na ito ay malaman ang kanilang pinanggalingan.
Ang Mendiola Massacre ay isang kabanata sa ating kasaysayan na nagpapakita ng malaking agwat ng mahirap at mayaman, ng makapangyariahan at ng ordinaryong mamamayan. Ipinaaalala sa atin na dapat nating wasakin o alisin ang agwat na ito. Kung hindi man tuluyang maalis ay maliit man lang sana.

| naintindihan ko naman hehe... yung linya ng thought ang di ko naunawaan ang dating kasi sa akin, na una mahirap at masakit banggain ang pader, at pangalawa, kailangang ipaalala ito ng ipaalala... para po ano? hindi na subukang banggain ang pader - opo - pader meaning nasa kapangyarihan nga... dahil lagi tayong talo... yung kultura ng defeatism, o pagkatalo, baka magruboff na sa atin... we are then breeding Filipino youths na mahina at matatakutin... "Kung hindi ipaaalala ang nangyari nuon ay maaaring ang mga Kabataan ngayon ay mismong humarang sa katarungan na hinihingi ng mga biktima at ng kanilang mga naiwan."
mali bang mamagitan, makialam, manindigan? hehe. lumalaki na nga ang agwat ng mahirap at mayaman, panginoon at alipin... titigan lang natin ito, kasi masakit ang bumangga sa pader. hehe. hindi ko sinasabing magpabaril din hehe. pero ang sa akin ay hueag magpasindak! ^_^ peace po punong abala... i guess baka parehas tayo ng gustong iconvey hehe naguluhan lang sa wordings? peace hehe... | |

| Yun ba. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay kung hindi "malalaman" ng mga Kabataan sa pamamagitan ng "pagpapa-alala" sa kanila ng mga kuwento ng karaaan ay baka ang kanilang katahimikan at kamangmangan sa kasaysayan ang siyang pumigil sa katarungan na hinihingi.
Tingnan mo ang nangyayari ngayon. Walang paki-alam ang karamihan sa kabataan kasi maaring kulang ang kanilang kaalaman sa pangyayari sa Mendiola nuon o sa kuwento ng Sumilao. Dapat na ipaalala ng ipaalala ang mga kuwentong ito upang ang mga Kabataan ngayon na magiging Leader sa susunod na henerasyon ay may alam naman sa kasaysayan.

| Oh well, in my humble opinion, the Philippines is still practicing feudalism but disguising it as a democracy. My reasons are as follows:
1. The families with land lords it over the peasants.
2. Different set of rules between the rich and the poor.
3. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
4. The system of government is set up to maintain the practice.
Bakit hindi magkaroon ng genuine land reform, kasi yung mga tatamaan yung mga government officials din like the congressmen, senators, etc.
Bakit hindi maitaas and minimum wage, kasi mga employers din ang mga nasa government, additional expenses nga naman sa kanila yon. Bakit hndi makapaginvest sa education, kasi nga naman pag ang ang mga tao sa kanayunan nakapag-aral at natuto, makakapag-isip ng maayos, makakaboto ng tamang pinuno, e di sipa sa pwesto mga tinamaang lintek na yan sa gobyerno.

| Kaya kailangan na patuloy na maging Filipinong may Paki-alam.
Hindi sapat ang pangangatwiran na "wala ring mangyayari dyan!" kasi isang katwiran iyan na walang tiwala sa Kabutihan ng Filipino.
Sa aking palagay hindi naman magiging mabagal ang Pagbabago ng sarili kung mas marami ang may paki-alam. Kung mas marami ang nais na maki-sangkot. Kung maraming mabubuting Filipino ang lalabas sa kanilang mga tahanan at tutulong sa pagbabanibago ng Lipunan.
Matagal na nating sinubok na maging mabuting Filipino sa loob ng apat na sulok ng ating mga sariling mundo at ito ay napatunayang nagbunga lang nga mga abusadong tao sa lipunan. Naging maluwag ang mundo dahil lahat ng mabubuti ay nagtatago sa kanilang mga sarili lamang. Kailangan na lumabas at baguhin naman ang Lipunan nuong mga taong matagal na Nagpakabuti sa sarili.
Kailangan na kayo ng Inang Bayan! Nagsusumamo na siya! | |
