Whenever I think of the Hacienda Luisita violence that killed 14 people–mostly farmers and workers–I couldn’t help being reminded of Kris Aquino and the obscene display of her luxurious life on national television.
Kris is a daughter of former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, one of the owners of Hacienda Luisita. She loves talking about fashion, clothes, and jewelry and models for a whitening soap, among other products.
While bloghopping, I found Len Olea’s blog. She wrote:
Sa telebisyon, buong giliw na ipinagmamalaki ni Kris Aquino, habang tayo’y inaaliw ng showbiz balita, na ang kanyang mga alahas ay katas ng Hacienda Luisita.
Meanwhile Mong Palatino writes:
“Kris Aquino was wrong when she boasted on national TV that her designer clothes were ‘katas ng Hacienda Luisita.’ Now we witness the hardworking people who produce the wealth of Hacienda Luisita displaying extraordinary force, anger and devotion which only the most oppressed and exploited can ever show.”

And she’s back to hosting a game show offering P1M.
amazing how someone so intelligent could descend to such levels as this.
or maybe her air-conditioner filter just needs some cleaning; she might be inhaling the fumes.
Ibigay ang karapatan ng manggagawang Filipino, ipatupad ang pinagkasunduang pamamahagi ng lupa sa mga taong naghihirap at tunay na bumubuhay sa mga Cojuangcos.. at pati na rin sa industriya ng bayan.
I’m sure she doesn’t sincerely feel for the Hacienda victims. It’s just her show-off as a celebrity. Why? Because obviously, she has misplaced priorities. Her sense of delicadeza has always been obscured by her craving for fame and fortune.
i used to like her because she seemed intelligent for a showbiz personality. but ever since the phenomenal success of game ka na ba, she has lost all sense of propriety and common sense. what a shame indeed.
bilib ako kung paano nabrainwashed ng mga cojuangco ang mga pilipino sa paniniwalang mabuti si cory aquino. nalulungkot din ako dahil maraming humahanga sa katalinuhan (or kawalang-hiyaan) ng anak niya. ganito na ba kabobo ang mga pinoy? krisller killer
hindi ko napanood ang sinabi ni kris na ganon. nakakalungkot naman. i feel bad for the victims of the bloody dispersal. grabe talaga.
I think Kris likes to play is enjoying pretty much the fact that she thinks people know her as a very honest person and therefore can get away with her show of extravagance but because of her continuous blabbering … she forgets to check her statements and then goes…. oops.. did i say that??? she retracts by saying that hacienda luisita is actually losing money and that’s why she’s working hard…etc… etc…
i don’t like kris aquino ever! ang arte nya kasi. narinig ko nga na sinabi nya yan sa TV na nalulugi na daw ang hacienda luisita, kaya daw sya nag-tatrabaho dahil nalulugi na ang hacienda. pero kung titingnan mo sya lahat ng luho sa katawan nasa kanya. ang mga manggagawang bukid nga nang hacienda luisita ay Php. 9.50 lang ang sahod, 9 pesos and 50 centavos per week. I wonder? ano kaya ang depinisyon nya nang kahirapan sa depinisyon ng kahirapan ng mga workers ng hacienda luisita?
ito ay isang patunay lang nang matinding class struggle between land lords and peasants. dapat mabigyan ng katarungan ang pagkamatay ng mga martir ng hacienda luisita. pagbayarin ng mahal ang mga salarin!
i’m not a fan of kris aquino but i’d just like to give my point…i think she has nothing to do with the management of hacienda luisita…pwede ba tayong mga pinoy…wag na tayo mamuna ng wala sa atin??? the hell i care with all the luxuries she has…leave her kg ganyan sya…the more na kumikita pa nga pag iniintriga…if we have the right to own luxurious things, then so she is…wag na tayo mainggit…peace!!!!!!!!!!!
i can’t believe that these things actually happens in real life I thought that this is only happening in some kind of pocket book story!!!former president aquino and the present president should do something to compensate the poor plantation workers. they should be given the rights to asks for what they need,9.50 pesos every other week is awfully low, how can they even afford to put food on the table for their families? what they do to the strikers are injustice and therefore the arroyo government should do something to punish the culprit!!!
this is in response to the comment made by maricel, seems like you have not about the massacre of the farmers of the hacienda luisita, yes it’s true that kris also has the right to own luxurios things but she and her family should also think about the life of the people who works for them, they pay them way below the minimum wage, why! it seems that its not even enough to feed a single person per day! they are starving to death while kris and her family are bagging about all the luxurious things they that the hacienda produces which is actually the workers expense!
Ehh aNo nMn ang pakieLam k0 jAn, kaya Lng nMn ako ng-pOst d2 ehh pRa mAg hAnAp ng fRiend.. add nyo p0h ako and dis is my e-mail add sHarLet_balacuit@yahoo.com c u der.. chika tau.. hehehe sLamat p0h.. hAnggAng dito nLang p0h..pAaLam
as i study socio-political issues, i came to know about the real story behind hacienda luisita. i feel very sad to know that injustices in our country is very grave. i hope that our government will be very concern about this major issue.
noong napanood ko yung documentary about the lives of the workers in hacienda luisita sa school, i was really saddened…malaman ko na P9.50 lang ang kinikita nila, imagine…P9.50! malakai pa siguro ang nakukuha ng mga nagtatawag ng pasahero sa may cubao eh. it’s really way way below the minimum wage, nakakagulat nga’t nabubuhay pa ang mga manggagawang ito despite the fact that they are doing very laborious work. pls, let us help this people. they really need our help. the government doesn’t really care about their welfare
……..grabe nman kyo kris hndi n kyo naawa s mga tao bsta lng d mwla ung mga luho mo……..
PEACE…Bkait natin sinisi si Kris?she is working for her luxurious in life,and besides may manager naman ang Hacienda para i manage ang business nila at hindi sila ang nagmamanage and workers have a union to fight for the right of the laborers and laborers are paying the union bakit sa hindi sila nagreklamo pa noon and i dont bilib na 9.50 every other week kasi they have union to deal with their salaries.We dont who is telling the truth, lets just finish this close the hacienda luisita and lets see what happen to Cojuanco family and the laborers kung saan sila pupunta at kung may luho pa at kakainin na masarap ang isat isa.lahat naman may luho ultimong magsosorbetero may cellphone at pati yung nag aararo my cellphone sa bulsa, marami kasing sakit tayong mga filipino we need to discipline ourselves and humble all the time,kahit wala ng makain basta may load ang ceelphone ok na.di ba? -( NAKAKALUNGKOT,lahat may luho pati si Joseph estrada super luho aNG ginawa sa Hongkong puro kasi corrupt ang pinoy,magaling magsalita wala sa gawa,magaling pang magsinungaling ayaw umamin sa sariling mali….Ang Diyos hindi natutulog kung nakaligtas ka man dito sa lupa magbabayad ka rin pagkamatay mo,at may interes pa at wala ka nang attorney na magtatagol sa yo,sarili mo na lang susunugin sa impiyerno ang mga taong corrupt,sinungaling,mamatay tao,at manloloko sa bayan,lahat tayo kung ano ang ginawa mo gagawin din sayo.adiyos
Actually, we’re not blaming Kris Aquino here. We’re not saying it’s her fault that the Haceinda Luisita workers were massacred. We’re not saying she killed the Hacienda Luisita rallyists. We’re just pointing out the irony of seeing Kris on television with all her luxury: gowns, havaiana–did I spell it right?–and all other material things while the poor workers of Hacienda Luisita, which is co-owned by her family, were being killed for protesting against injustice.
By the way, here’s a piece of news from Bulatlat.com ( http://www.bulatlat.com/news/5-1/5-1-plan.html ): 5,000 Luisita Workers To Lose Jobs in Cojuangco-GMA Land Plan
The summary says:
“A land use plan which contains the comprehensive land conversion of the entire Hacienda Luisita into a commercial and industrial complex will likely force more than 5,000 plantation workers out of their jobs. The LUP includes President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTE).”
Sad news for the Hacienda Luisitia workers.

We understand your concern for the Hacienda Luisita workers. We’re just wondering why you left your contact numbers.
Totally disgusting. Ngunit patuloy na sasambahin ng mga Pilipino ang mga nasa itaas ng tatsulok na lipunan natin. Hindi sila magkakaisa laban sa mga nanloloko at nangagatas sa kanila.
Sana nga, opposite ang mangyari.
ang gulo na ng mundo…at si kris naman payo ko lang sana, wag nyang ipagsisigaw sa telebisyon ang mga ginagawa nyang mga luho nya dahil ang daming naghihirap sa pinas at bawas bawasan na nya iyong kaartihan nya.yong lang po!!
well,i feel pity for the workers.pro dyan sa naninsi ky kris wag kayong ganyan.dapat lang sa knya yun dahil pinagtrbahuan nya yun,wag na kayong mainggit.hi KRIS,good job!god luck sau at alagaan mo c josh
Hehe. Nakapunta na kaya sa Hacienda Luisita si Josh? :p
Kris may be displaying sort of immaturity, immorality, all sort of immm…., but that does not reflect the behaviour and true colour of her parents, uncles and aunties. Cojuangcos are good people. Their hospital is like a welfare. Free doctors, free medicine. Although at first, they charge the employees but eventually, the union would request that the charge be deleted and be forgotten, and the request is usually granted and those union leaders know this. They knew almost everything they request is granted….but as they say, man easily forgets….
I don’t think the Hacienda Luisita workers would do what they’ve been doing if “almost everything they request is granted.”
mabuhay ang socialismo…buwagin ang pagpapahirap sa manggagawang pilipino..decenteng pamumuhy sa masang pilipino… kris aquino/cory aquino/danding cojuanco… salamin ng mga taong nabubuhay sa katas ng manggagawa….nkakubli sa magandang panlabas na humuhumaling sa ating lahat..sa likod ay ang maduming pamamamaraan.. pamamaraan ng pagpapahirap sa mga naghihirap…. mabuhay ang socialismo …mabuahay ang manggagawang pilipino
I saw the video how they massacred the farmers. Talagang malayo talaga agwat ng mayayaman saka mahirap. Ilang million ang mga kabayo ni mykee ikompara niyo sa mga sweldo ng mga manggagawa
The Filipinos have earned the reputation of being overseas contract workers par excellence throughout the Globe, which truly makes me proud being one. However, on a similar note, we have also been known for our crab mentality, divisiveness & hard-headedness, which has fertilized to our stagnation as a nation depriving us forever of our country’s long-deserved continued & zenithal success.
Having acquired my own niche out of sheer expertise, hard work & discipline here in Kuwait, I could not but show dismay over such realizations. While we have been praised as a nation of excellent workers which usually gives us an upper hand in terms of foreign employer’s choice of workers such that the latter would rather prefer more Filipino workers than any other foreign expatriates, including offering them higher or better rates compared to the rest, except of course against few others such as the Americans & Britons, we could never be united as a country & thus fail to catapult the majority of the Filipinos towards living a dignified life.
The country is teeming with excellent Filipinos in every respect, as much as it is swarmed with rallyists left & right who could not abandon their false hopes, claims, objectives & pride in favor of the national good; who could never accept defeat in the hands of reality that their most-heralded candidates & bets had not won the presidency or various other posts that they had desired, resorting to all sorts of public protests whether voluntarily or volunteered by their greed for money by using such fora as a means to earn more in exchange of allowing themselves to be used by their financiers who not to anyone’s surprise must be the losing parties or candidates themselves, a case of mutualism, where both aggrieved parties benefit from each other, a case of misery loves company.
Now tell me, how could we ever progress as a nation given such constipated mentality? How could we ever progress as a country given such attitude of spewing lava over lava of angst & pains against whoever wins in a presidential derby or whatever local or national offices, continually if not geometrically at that so long as their bets’ nemesis is or are in power?
We have been known to imitate the Americans in almost every aspect of life, America having been our great ally for several years now, but come to think of it, why couldn’t we imitate the Americans’ attitude of consolidating & rallying behind their leaders after elections have been over?
The Hacienda Luisita case is not just an offshoot of this bad Filipino trait. As a Filipino who have gone abroad to live a dignified life, I could almost feel or even commiserate with the sad plight of the hacienda Luisita workers in Tarlac, but hey, if they are really bent on doing something for their own good, they should not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. They should realize that if they had the pristine intentions of helping themselves, they should know better that to be able to constantly receive financial blessings, they should not kill or endanger its source, which in their case, must be hacienda Luisita. The late & national hero, Jose Rizal did not resort to outright rebellion but reform, which we could do in all capacity & at our behest in our time given the working democracy we have inherited & currently enjoy after the Marcosian rule & courtesy of ex-president, madam Corazon Aquino who had firmly reinstituted it during her term.
Moreover, I do not agree with most of the Filipinos always blaming the presidency or the big shots over their sad plights or poverty. After all, as Abraham Lincoln once said, “Do not just ask what the country can do for you, but rather, of what you can do for your country”. That is a lesson of empowerment, that we should also do something by ourselves to contribute to the country’s welfare & not deprive the country of such blessings least we shall be guilty of forcing our country to its economic ruin, abyss or comatose.
Why would we always opt for increase given our current wages? The usual reply is that we could not make both ends meet. That is understandable, given the country’s current sad economic plight. Nevertheless, given the worst of times, why even the birds for example, could satisfy their optimum requirements for life amidst the worst of storms & other natural calamities? How about us, human species at that, touted to be the highest forms of animals given our intellect & free will – why couldn’t we live within our earnings? Why couldn’t we live within our means? Why don’t we budget the earnings that we have currently to suit our budget & needs. Or if the money that we have is not enough for our needs, why do we usually take the government or their subsidiaries, including such other private firms who help give the nation hope of recovery, as the culprit instead of blaming if not asking ourselves what had we done with what little blessings that we receive given the difficult times & worst scenarios in life?
Only until we find the right answers to these questions shall we be able to reform ourselves & give the Philippines, the only country I have & we have, its much needed hope. After all, the only thing constant in the world is change, and if only for that, I would never lose hope to see all if not most of us, find our mentality overhauled to give way to unity amidst diversity for the most sought after progress.
As an overseas contract worker, there was never a day that passed by that I never thought of going back home to the Philippines, despite its chaos & antagonistic setting, because it is the only country I have & I’d love to help improve.
While you have been there, you could contribute to its well-being by just simply thinking of the country as a whole, of how others had moved out of the country to earn a living abroad without blaming the Philippines for lack of opportunities offered because in due time, hope springs eternal. Our children, if not grandchildren & their future generations will reap the fruits of our labor. We just have to believe in ourselves, sacrifice a bit if not more & try very hard at emasculating our mentality to give way to changes for the better mindset prerequisite of development! Mabuhay mga kapwa Filipino!!!

Kris is the downfall of the Aquino family. She acts like she’s not from a very prominent family. I think she’s a looser. She may have all the things money can buy but she doesn’t have class. She’s desperate and too immature. After all the episodes of men in her life, she’s now marrying a guy a few years older than her son. I mean Kris marrying James Yap? HaHaHa!!! Sorry Kris Aquino but you’re a looser.
A looser keeps getting trapped to pitfalls of one’s life, whereas a winner keeps rising up every after storm, is far driven when the going gets tough. That’s Kris for us, ever ready to rse up toi the next level of standards when evil forces compel her to!!!

I’d just like to thank you for taking the time to create this internet website. It has been extremely helpful
You are doing a wonderful thing here on the Internet. I wish you the very best. Kindest regards.
why will u blame kris;she works hard for all the luxuries she’s enjoying.and
its her money and she can spend it whatever way she wants.inggit lang kayo!
they are not the sole owners of the hacienda; the entire cojuangco family does.
i don’t disagree about kris being “maarte” and all. but that’s what she is. i mean, if you guys are bothered by her… well, i highly recommend to just mind our own business and GET A LIFE!
hay nako,,puro hacienda luisita itong nababasa ko dito..Oo nga talagang ang mga sakim sa pera ay nag babayad yan tignan nyo na lang yung anak ni kris abnormal, tapos walang lalaking nag mahal ng tapat sa kanya.
tapos eto na naman yung bago nyang napiling mapapangasawa parang e engot engot..
Hoy renato wag ka naman magsalita ng ganyan. Ikaw ba normal? i mean, who are you to judge naman the son of kris? wag mandamay ng bata, pwede ba, kainis ka talaga ha.
I see Francis Valmoria is a big cojuangco fan so he thinks that greediness is the cause of the strike at hacienda luisita but does he think that no matter how much people would try to make ends meet and budget their money 9.50 a week in pesos just does not go anywhere! why, that can’t even buy a kilo of rice! considering they are not even allowed to plant a vegetable for them to eat at the land! my GOD how on earth can they support the family for that kind of very low salary? think with all your consideration mr. francis! huwag yung porke fan ka ni kris e di ka na makapag-reason justly!
Si Francisco Valmoria ay napaka hypocrit. Kaya pala nasa ibang bansa ka at wala sa Pilipinas. Kasi gusto mo ring guminhawa buhay mo na hindi makikita sa Pilipinas. Yun pa kayang mga magsasaka na naghihirap at hindi na halos kumakain ang masisisi mo? Umuwi ka kaya ng Pilipinas bago ka magngangawa ng kadramahan, saka ka magmagaling. Wala kang ka-kwenta kwenta. Ikaw ang example ng crab mentality. Mas grabe nga lang kasi nagtatago ka sa kanlungan ng ibang bansa at pinipilit baligtarin ang katwiran parang maka guyo at akalaing tama.
Sa impiyerno ka rin babagsak, mas grabe pa sa mga namatay na magsasaka dahil sa mga pagbubulag bulagan nyo at ng amo mong mga Cojuangco at Aquino sa katotohanan at pagpilipit ng katwiran. Samantalahin mo ang nalalabi mong buhay dito dahil malapit ka nang sunduin ni taning!
Hindi nman siguro kasalanan ni kris un dahil unang una hindi naman sya un nagmamanage ng hacienda and besides sobrang sipag magwork nung tao and may sarili naman syang kita so di naman siguro masama na bumili sya ng mga luho nya kasi pinaghirapan naman nya un eh.
Im not a fan of Miss Aquino pero it not fair naman na mag judge tau ng tao cause unang una di natin sya kilala and malay ba natin kung yun pera nya eh nagshare din sya sa mga mahihirap di naman natin kasi alam dahil di naman sya katulad ng mga pulitiko na laging pinagmamalaki un mga naitulong sa kapwa.
And di naman siguro lahat ng Cojuangco masama di ba.
Pero sana mabigyan na ng tamang sweldo un mga empleyado ng Hacienda kasi kawawa naman sila and sana mabigyan ng justice un mga nangyari sa kanila.
mga walang magawa! mind your on business!
pilipino talaga! mga tsismosa at tsismoso. Don’t judge and you won’t be judged!
This is the essence of democracy, to be bombarded with a tremor of opinions before a conclusion is made. At least, each is at liberty to defend his or her views, and that’s what really counts, so very atypical during the Marcos era.
For all we know, eruptive clouds ever ready & willing to cover the eruptive vents of whichever side from this tumultous situation will finally gave way to the truth, the only thing that matters. After all, any shady & deceptive stance from whichever side of the critical equation is bound to fall against the seismic tremors, plate-tectonic revolution & fault-scarp designed by God, the greatest architect of us all, to salvage those of HIS poor children from harm, against those whose intentions reek of hypocrisy & falsehood, trying to hide behind the cloak of abuses or injustices just to thwart the obvious.
wla lg..juz wana say..Fake c kris from head to foot.. ggeeeezzz..RETOKE everywhere..haha..She thinks sheS sexy..she thinks shes hot..not even a bit,not even close. What a TRY-hard. boobs and everything..still nothing.. what a disgrace. and one more thing.. she damn so Baduy.. haha
i hate kris because i dont think she remembers the time when she was still struggling in showbiz and everybody doesnt want to give her an chance.. except for one movie producer who was forced to make her a movie (maybe because she was still a presidents daughter at that time) she would go to the extremes of kissing commedians in her movie.. its not that i am against it but if you see her now.. she acts as if she is a GOD who cant befriend actors and actresses who are trying their luck in showbusiness.. she would clearly show in front of the camera the lack of interest she has with those nobody BUT she will gladly defend her friends even if its obvious that those “friends” has done something bad.. I remember when Ai ai was still not a big time actress and she guested in Kris and Boy Abunda’s show.. she wont even dare touch ai ai and its as if ai ai has some decease.. but when Boy abunda managed Ms. delas Alas, Kris automatically became friends with Ai ai…
Cory Aquino, her mother, does she deserve some respect? well, maybe because elders deserves some respect.. aside from that… no other reason for us to respect her. First, she proudly shows everyone that she is a devout catholic, her daughter always mention that she is almost sinless.. She is a person with principles… YEAH RIGHT! during her term, almost all her relatives had a position in the government.. some say this is not true but if you check the records, they may not use the last name cojuangco and aquino but Cory has lots of relatives with other surnames.
Did she really saved the philippines fronm the marcoses? the answer is NO! she was the only person “available” at that time to replace the dictator. We also suffered so much from her.. the browouts, the coup d’ etat, peso devaluation, massacres.. And everytime a present government is facing a crisis she would announce a statement that would divide the nation instead of uniting the filipino people..
But how can we expect her to be a good leader when she cant even help the farmers in their hacienda? I live in the US and I downloaded a documentary about the crisis in hacienda luisita.. I cant bear to watch the film..
Mrs. Aquino asked the president to make the supreme sacrifice of resigning.. why cant she make the supreme sacrifice of shutting her mouth and instead solve the problems of her farmers.. Same with Kris, she should make the supreme sacrifice of trying to be a good human being to her fellowmen..
hey guys, guys, keep ur cool! don’t waste such debates where Kris nor Cory wouldn’t even read ur opinions. to whom are you expressing such laments anyway? mas naka kainis kyo kc d na kyo tumigil sa express ng “i hate kris” or “i don’t like kris”… well, u might as well voice ur thoughts directly to her, if you really want her to know ur opinions.
about the hacienda luisita thing, we had a maid who worked temporarily for us during the strike. her family lives inside the hacienda. her husband at first joined the rally but as they will not get an income, he was forced to report back to work so as to earn money. but regardless of this, our maid told us that they were ok there, and the salary of 9.50 per week that you mentioned is way too EXAGGERATED! hello?! the workers there have their own school, hospital, etc. our maid even gave birth caesarian to all her 3 kids for free. those are just some of the benefits that she was able to get for working at the hacienda.
please, before retracting anyone, gather all the facts first… and Kris doesnt give a damn parin naman to all of ur opinions coz she doesnt even know you.
i am no kris fan, in fact, i dont even admire her. but we dont have the right to judge her.
Past is past. Nakaraan na yon and Im sure if Cory or Kris can change history,they will prevent that from happening.Di nila ginusto o kasalanan yon. Kris is a celebrity natural lang na she will look her best on national tv or in the publics eye.Take note she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth TRANSLATION “Pinanganak na mayaman ang lola mo!” all of us are entitled to our own opinion. But to attack people like KRIS OR cory is a big waste of time and effort. I UNDERSTAND sa sobrang kasikatan at kasosyalan ng ate Kris madaming nagiilusyon at naiinggit sa kanya.Like in my case marami ang naiinggit sa beauty ko.The world is full of insecure and jealous PEOPLE and I understand.Kaya puede ba tigilan na ninyo ang paninira sa amin ni Kris.Di ba best friend Carmi! Oy kayong mga insecure at mahihirap would you please SHUT UP! aTTENTION mrs.bRUNO! YUN LANG vavuh!!!
Please stop attacking my idol Kris and her mom madam Cory. Mga pangit magsitigil kayo.Please forget the past unless u r one of the relatives of the killed peoplei feel ur pain. pero tigilan na ha.Inggit lang kayo sa ate kris and besides kris is one of the very few filipino celebreties na nakakasabay naming magshopping ng mga amiga ko sa Rodeo Drive Beverly hills di ba best Bestfriend marikayao8.Oh well the world is full of pangit and mahihirap.Vavuh and goodluck to all.
