A Luisita resident and farmer inadvertently flashes the "L" sign that is the trademark of Luisita part-owner and President Noynoy Aquino. The union flag displayed in front of a farmer's house. A child wonders outside the house. A child presses his palm against a tarpaulin displayed during one union activity. On the tarp were pictures of the farmers' and farm workers' campaign in Luisita to till the land. Gossip among friends. On their way to school, via bicycles. One of only a small number of tractors employed for tilling the land in the hacienda. There are those who criticize the farmers who ask that the land of Luisita be given them, saying that the hacenderos deserve to be compensated. But the farmers have toiled the land and created the wealth off the land for decades, for little or no pay. Was that, they ask, not enough? A farmer rests and surveys the land that they have planted on so far. Irrigation for the rice paddies, made by the farmers. Part of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway that intruded into the Luisita land. Before the massacre in 2004, carabaos were banned in Luisita. A child photographs a fellow child who works the field. Three of the child photographers who participated in the Salinlahi workshop. We visited the site of the 2004 massacre. In order for us not to be whisked away by the Hacienda security, we had to pretend to be ordinary tourists (ha, tourists in Luisita) having our pictures taken there. We also were there a month after Cory Aquino's death. I had to get my feet dirty. http://krguda.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/land-marked-north-triangle-demolition/ http://krguda.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/land-marked-north-triangle-demolition/#comments Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:54:57 +0000 krguda http://krguda.wordpress.com/?p=1223 ]]> http://krguda.wordpress.com/2010/09/24/land-marked-north-triangle-demolition/feed/ 0 KR Guda The great divide Sitio San Roque is a community of more than 8,000 families, before the "voluntary relocation." Goats for sale. Before the demolition, San Roque was humming with economic activity. An elderly woman smiles while passing through a sari-sari store in San Roque. A basketball game to break the daily grind. Despite the cramped houses, there are many basketball courts within San Roque. The divide between the plush Landmark shopping center in Trinoma Mall and the impoverished San Roque community. A backhoe truck seemingly stands guard between the mall and the urban poor community, the night before the start of the September 23 demolition attempt. On the 23rd, the assault began in earnest. As residents, mostly youths, battled the police for control of EDSA, a demolition team went about its business of destroying homes. Many temporarily sought shelter beneath the train rails. The houses of these children were among the first to be demolished. Demolilshers fling rocks, bottles and other materials at the barricaders. A cop, bearing a tear gas gun, surveys the street after the residents momentarily retreated before a hail of rocks and bottles from the demolishers. But the barricaders fight back and won EDSA -- this time.
