Last November 16, 2004, 14 people were killed in a bloody protest in Hacienda Luisita, including two children aged 2 and 5 who died from suffocation from teargas thrown by police and army dispersal teams. After being wounded, one of the victims was reportedly strangled and his dead body hanging at the factory's gate. At least 35 people have been confirmed to have suffered gunshot wounds, 133 have been arrested and held, hundreds have been hospitalized, and another hundred were missing. The devastation is a horrific reminder of the notorious Mendiola massacre and the massacre of Lupao, which both emerged from the demands of the peasants to own their land.
