FARMWORKERS at the Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac have had enough of the stock-distribution option they've been given since 1989. They are now demanding that the 6,453-hectare property be covered by the comprehensive agrarian reform program (CARP).

Carina Espino, secretary-general of the Alyansa ng Manggagawang Bukid sa Hacienda Luisita (Ambala), said the Cojuangcos, owners of the hacienda and one of the oldest and most powerful land-owning families in the country, only offered the stock-distribution option so that it would be exempted from the CARP.
