Around 200 farmers from Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac arrive in Caloocan on Friday, April 26, 2013 the third day of their Lakbayan to the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) to demand the implementation of genuine land distribution in the Cojuangco-owned hacienda as ordered by the Supreme Court over a year ago.

Valentine Protest

On Feb 14, 2012, farmers from different plantations sneak into the Malacanang complex in Manila to get a chance to air their grievances to President Benigno Aquino on the dismal performance of the Department of Agrarian Reform in its duties to implement land reform. These farmers marched for several days through scorching sun and chilling rain, saving what little they had just to come to Manila so that they could be heard of the real situation they are facing from what the administration said was "on track and ahead of its target in land distribution to farm beneficiaries" within 15 minute of their arrival at the complex, they were bodily manhandled by security personnel and pack into a police van like sardines and brought to the Manila Police Headquarters.
