Pa pogi points.

The Order amounts to nothing as San Miguel can contest the said order before the Courts. Then when farmers lose again, GMA would say, "I did everything."

yeah right...as for me, i'm very optimistic the farmers would win the fight. i don't care if it results to "pogi points" to GMA as you hinted earlier...

because of this issue, i have added another degree of dislike to Danding Cojuanco...who is Danding? he's the top boss of San Miguel, former Marcos' crony, AND close relative of former Pres CORY!!! ma apil-apilon man unta ni cya sa mga current issues but damn she's so hypocrite, didn't even said anything about this Sumilao issue...and other issues relating to their family. look how she is silent on the Coco Levy fund & the plight of that Hacienda Luisita folks...maluoy jud ko sa farmers.

Bisag dunay order si gloria nga ihatag ang gipangayo sa mga farmers,dili gyapon ni assurance nga matuman ilang gipangayo.Taas pa ning proceso kay naa na ra bai owner kining mga yuta.SMC dako sab ning kalaban.Dili man daw manguli ang farmers kung dili nila ma sure ang ilang gipangayo...

Basin dha na ni sila mag New year sa Manila or magkalisod dha pa ni sila mag new year 2009..

giddyboy, I think let us look closely what was meant of the Order of your beloved President. Here are the views.

"For example, chief president legal counsel Sergio Apostol, who was among those who drafted the order, said before its issuance Tuesday that the property would have to undergo a “process� before actually being distributed to the farmers.

Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye, on the other hand, claimed the order meant San Miguel Foods had lost ownership of the property.

But Manuel had his own take on the order, saying it now made San Miguel Foods the landowner and that government would have to pay the firm the full value of the land before the farmers could gain ownership of it.

The lawyer said they are considering seeking a written commitment from the DAR and the Office of the President on the next steps they will be taking to meet the farmers’ demands."

"Ang pag-aalinlangan namin kasi ay dahil ilang beses na kaming nabiktima [Our apprehension is because we have been victimized many times."

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE FOOLED MANY TIMES ALREADY BY THE GOVERNMENT ESPECIALLY THAT OF ANOTHER CORRUPT ADMIN FIDEL RAMOS.

goodluck nalang nila..
kon asa ang kwarta adto jud ng gobyerno, pila nasad kahay nakwarta nila ani.
may gani niprotesta sila kon wala pa, aw datu nasad ang mga politiko.
pero murag kaduhaduhaan pani nga makuha nila ilang yuta.
while the iron is still hot, pa pogi points pa ang gobyerno sa kadugayan ani nga issue ang corrupt nga gobyerno ra gihapon ang bulahan.
