SCTEX is a bigger anomaly compared to C5






SCTEX is a bigger anomaly compared to C5. SCTEX is the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) that traverses the Cojuangco-owned Hacienda Luisita.

Is much more controversial than the C5 issue hounding Senator Manuel Villar Jr.

In fact,That if Noynoy cannot cannot control his family, how can he control the country?

The access road and the interchange were constructed and paid for by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and yet Hacienda Luisita Inc. charges toll fees; the farmers were not given their share of the sale of the right of way, and the Cojuangco family did not pay the government for royalty fees for the quarrying activities.

Even if the president’s uncle, Jose ‘Peping’ Cojuangco Jr. argues that the land is private and they do not need the TRB’s permission, the whole matter should be investigated because it’s quite unclear if the HLI does have the legal authority to collect fees from the public. The Cojuangcos cannot just arbitrarily impose fees and payments at whim.

We received information that even farmers, the legitimate owners of Hacienda Luisita, are prohibited from freely moving within the area without approval from the management , and that they themselves are being forced to pay the P20 toll fee.

Despite motorists and farmers’ collective outrage over the illegal Luisita toll fees, the President himself appears powerless against the abuses of his own relatives,” the peasant leader said. He went on to say that the congressional probe should not be limited to the alleged non-issuance of receipt and tax evasion of the Cojuangcos but must extend to their violation of farmers rights to the land
