The Aquino standard of double standards

In applying a double standard in our society and in our public life, President Corazon Aquino set the bar when she ordered the inclusion of the Stock Distribution Option (SDO) in the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law that became law in 1988 when she signed it.

As everyone knows by now, the SDO enabled the Cojuangco family of President Cory to escape from the land reform act with their Hacienda Luisita (all 6,500 hectares of it) intact and free from the clutches of the law’s intended farmer-beneficiaries.
