This refers to the news item titled, “Tillers file plunder raps vs Villars.” (Philippine Daily Inquirer, 9/29/08) The subhead stated “Couple: Charges a rehash of dismissed case.”
Allow us to clarify that the two claimants referred to in the article as a “farmers group,” namely, Gina Jarvana and Valentina Amador, are (and were) not farmers in the disputed farmlands. In fact, they belong to a group being used to stop the genuine farmers’ groups from filing a case against spouses Sen. Manuel Villar and Rep. Cynthia Villar in connection with the farmlands in question.
