Issues Regarding the Noynoy Aquino Administration
ISSUES REGARDING THE NOYNOY AQUINO ADMINISTRATION
There are a lot of issues faced by our dear President Benigno Aquino III or simply known as PNoy.

1. Qualification on the Position

First, let's admit the fact that he wasn't voted into office because of actual qualifications. He was a lackluster lawmaker in congress and didn't exactly make impressions in terms of his career. He coasted along until his mother died. Suddenly everybody thought it would be a good idea to vote him into office as president. It was what is expected of the son of the late Benigno and Cory Aquino, both great former presidents of the Philippines. He lacks charisma or even basic public speaking abilities. The media has a lot of bad comments especially when he speaks with the press. He commits a lot of stupid pronouncements and sometimes what he says is beyond comprehension. He should get himself a media coach to train him in handling himself around the press and the whole country.

2. Hacienda Luisita

With the ascent of President Benigno Aquino III to the presidency, the future of Hacienda Luisita has become a focus of attention. This issue was supposed to be settled decades ago. But the Hacienda Luisita management failed to do their part on the agreement. Even though the agreement to settle the decades-old clash is included on the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), the present machinations of the management is seen as deceptive as they only opt to give more than 1,000 hectares of land plus cash instead of distributing to farmers the more than 4,000 hectares already designated by the Department of Agrarian Reform for distribution to farmer-beneficiaries.

There’s a report on Noynoy Aquino saying he’s got less than one percent share of the hacienda. Then, in another story, he was quoted as saying they could have gotten at least P3 billion if the 4,500-hectare land were sold at P4.5 billion. In one story, Noynoy was quoted as saying that they would give up the land; he was backed

    Documents 3 and 4 shows the land distribution being given out unfairly between 1856 and 1908. Document 3 shows a person named Ponciano Arriaga who believes that the land was distributed unfairly because a few people own tremendous amount of land, while the rest of the people suffer in poverty. He shows that those with immense lands must be living a sad life because of the guilt. Document 4 states “Provided that the property rights of landholders are not infringed upon, it will be proposed that peasants be permitted to acquire land, and they will be accorded means to borrow money at a moderate rate.” Land was not distributed evenly out, in order to make sure everyone would not have to be in poverty which caused revolts within the peasantries.…

    * Being the leader of a country, a President’s decision can greatly affect the present situation that the country is facing. Whatever decision he makes can sum up his abilities towards leading his people. It influences the people with the President’s decision in terms of support or disapproval. Support in the sense that if he’s decisions are acceptable for the people or group of people, he gets endorsed and applaud for the validity of his action. Disapproval in the sense that if it is denied by the people, the President is subject for explanation, he is also vulnerable for mockery among his people. The final decision he would then make will be the verdict of what’s waiting for the country, especially in times of war. If reasonable actions were already made but the peace among people is still missing, a President can declare Martial Law as his final resort. To lead the country in times of war is never easy. The President’s capacity to declare martial law in a time of chaos will be a great way for the President to fully think of what he should do while the country is on idle mode. Although he’s declaration will still be grounded on the approval of the other branches of the Philippine government, consent towards its declaration will be based on necessity.…

    Miguel Mapalo and Candida Quiba, simple illiterate farmers, were registered owners of a residential land in Manaoag, Pangasinan. Out of love and affection for Maximo Mapalo, Miguel’s brother who was about to get married, they decided to donate the eastern half of the land. However, they were deceived into signing a deed of absolute sale of the entire land on October 15, 1936. The document showed a consideration of P500, but the spouses actually did not receive anything. The spouses built a fence segregating the donated land. They continued to possess the western part up to the present. Not known to them, on March 15, 1938, Maximo registered the deed of sale in his favor and was able to obtain a TCT. On October 20, 1951, Maximo sold the entire land to the Narcisos, and a TCT was issued. The Narcisos took possession of the eastern part and filed a suit against Miguel and Candida, as well as Floro Guieb and Rosalia Mapalo Guieb who had a house on the western portion consented by the spouses. The spouses filed an answer with counterclaim, seeking cancellation of the TCT of the Narcisos on the ground that their consent to the deed of sale in favor of Maximo was obtained through fraud. The spouses also instituted a complaint to nullify the deeds of sale in 1936 and 1951. The trial court tried the case jointly. It ruled in favor of Miguel and Candida. The appellate court, however, reversed the judgment and rendered the sale valid on the ground of prescription. According to the appellate court, the sale is voidable and subject to annulment only within 4 years after discovery of fraud. It reckoned March 15, 1938, the date of registration, to be the reckoning period.…

    “Land is a story place. Land holds the stories of human survival across the generations. Land shapes people, just as people shape their countries” according to Atkinson Land. It is the source of our identity and our spirituality. It is necessary to all production, no matter what be the kind or form. Without land man cannot exist. That’s why owning a piece of land is really a great deal especially for the farmers and tenants. That’s why President Marcos implemented the PD 27 or The Land Reform Program of the Government, enacted on October 21, 1972, tells that restricted land reform scope to tenanted rice and corn lands and set the retention limit at 7 hectares. The intention of President Marcos is to free the tenant farmer from the bondage of landlordism. When this law was implemented tenants are so glad because owning a piece of land is a lifelong dream achievement for them. Like in the case of the 318 tenants in Baha and Talibayog Calatagan Municipality, Batangas Province where 818 land titles were issued to them covering a total of 507 hectares. The Calatagan farmers were promised to have the land if they can successfully cultivate and prosper it for 10 years under the land reform program of PD 27. The 507.87 hectares that should be distributed to the 318 tenant farmers of Barangay Baha and Talibayog Calatagan Batangas, met the qualifications in acquiring it.…
