Philippine court orders breakup of Aquino hacienda

None

The Philippine Supreme Court has ruled to break up the sugar estate owned by the president's relatives and distribute it to thousands of farmers following decades of unrest and unfinished land reform.

 

Tuesday's decision is politically charged because President Benigno Aquino III has called on the head of the Supreme Court to step down because of corruption allegations. (AP)
