ANNEX A

VOLUNTARY STATEMENT OF THE PEASANTS/TENANTS OF HACIENDA UY in Barangay San Vicente, San Narciso, Quezon, Disowning the PEACE-BDP-KMBP

We are legitimate peasants/tenants of hacienda Uy owned by the brothers Juanito and Manuel Uy. It is located in Brgy. San Vicente, San Narciso, Quezon;

That before the Kilusang Magbubukid sa Bondoc Peninsula (KMBP), which is under the PEACE-BDP, introduced itself to the barangay and included us tenants into their organization, there was already a legitimate peasant organization established here in the hacienda named "Samahan ng mga Magsasaka sa Asyenda ni Juanito Uy";

That the aim of our legitimate organization is to struggle with the landlord for a change in the tenancy share or the lowering of land rent;

That the said organization was disbanded due to the misrepresentation on the peasants by the PEACE-BDP-KMBP led by Pedro Tejeno who is now an agent of the AFP;

That allegedly, we tenants can realize having our own land to till if we agree to be subject to CARP/CLOA;

That eventually, the leader of KMBP, Pedro Tejeno, recruited our fellow peasants to carry arms purportedly to fight the landlord;

That this armed group headed by Tejeno started making copra but withheld the share of the landlord;

That the landlord formed his own armed group to fight the peasants who are members of PEACE-BDP-KMBP;

That there was once an encounter between the armed group of the tenants and the armed group of Uy;

That we built nipa huts in sityo Libas that served as our assembly area;

That today the sham PEACE-BDP-KMBP only caused trouble, fear and disunity among the peasants of Barangay San Vicente;

That we tenants have been enlightened that our hope lies not with PEACE-BDP-KMBP;

That we totally disown the PEACE-BDP-KMBP and the erroneous forms of struggle;

That what we recognize as the legitimate peasant organization was the first one we founded;

That we voluntary affix our signature hereunder to attest to the foregoing.

Signed this 2nd day of March 2004 without anybody forcing or coercing us.
