Ang Industriya ng Niyog sa Pilipinas Pagkalipas ng EDSA at ang Kalagayan ng mga Magniniyog sa Kanilang Panitikan

Abstract

On January 22, 1987, about a year since the start of President Corazon C. Aquino’s incumbency, many farmers marched on the streets of Manila to protest the lack of land reform promised by Aquino when she began her term as a president. The Aquino administration responded with bullets from an M-16 that killed 13 farmers and wounded 51 protesters near the Malacañang palace, specifically in Mendiola. Among the dead were some coconut farmers. The purpose of this study is to present and analyze the literature of coconut farmers in the Philippines, specifically in the Bondoc Peninsula which is part of Quezon Province and to present the status of the coconut industry in the Philippines since President Corazon C. Aquino’s term.
