    • found: Wikipedia, the Free Encylopedia, April 23, 2018(Hacienda Luisita is a sugar plantation covering 11 villages in three towns of Tarlac Province, including the capital Tarlac City. Hacienda Luisita was once part of the holdings of Compañía General de Tabacos de Filipinas, Sociedad Anónima, better known as Tabacalera, which was founded on 26 November 1881 by a Spaniard, Antonio López y López from Comillas, Cantabria and Santiago de Cuba. The estate was named after Antonio's wife, Luisa Bru y Lassús. Hacienda Luisita was bought by the Cojuangco family from Compañía General de Tabacos de Filipinas in the late 1950s. The estate's incorporators, who control 70 percent of Hacienda Luisita's stock shares, are Pedro Cojuangco, Josephine C. Reyes's heirs, Teresita C. Lopa's heirs, José Cojuangco, Jr., and María Paz C. Teopaco, all siblings of the late former President Corazón C. Aquino who, on the day she became President of the Philippines, bequeathed her shares to her children and the Daughters of Charity and other non-profit organizations for fear that it would be used as political propaganda. The remaining 30 percent of the stock shares was given to farm workers under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program's stock distribution option scheme)
