Thirteen of the protestors were killed and hundreds more were injured in that incident which is now called the Mendiola Macre. Land distribution of which big land holdings are to be bought by the government, and to be distributed to the peasant who tilt the soil, became a law. But, of the very party involve, the Philippine ex-President defied the law and instead, had the protesters macered by the Philippine marines.
