DAR Patriotic Car Show fundraiser to be held at Texas Panhandle War Memorial
The Molly Goodnight Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution will host its second annual Patriotic Car Show from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 26, at Texas Panhandle War Memorial Education Center, 4111 S. Georgia in Amarillo, in its shaded and spacious parking lot. Last year, the event had 20 entries, and this year, the DAR is hoping for a full parking lot on the expanded facility. Cheryl Thurman, car show coordinator, said that the event has grown since last year and will have literally something for everyone, including the kids. Owners of winning cars will be presented with handmade wooden plaques, made by the HoDAR, the name for a husband of one of the DAR members. 'None of us knew anything about having a car show, but we joined groups and went to car shows and figured out how to do it,' she said. 'The Volley for Veterans group has four men who volunteered to be judges for the show. They were so serious that they took a course in judging car shows,' Thurman said. 'They attend ceremonies all around our region and pay for it out of their pocket. Last year they attended 248 different ceremonies. Monies we make will help them in the costs.' There will be several booths, including ones for Amarillo Area Geneology Society, Wreaths Across America, and Volleys for Veterans, to name a few. The event, a fundraiser for the chapter's projects and activities, will also include a bake sale; children's activities; hot dogs, sold with chips and a drink for $5; a snowcone stand from 4-H kids in Claude, who are raising money for their projects; and a raffle for a BB gun and exciting themed baskets. Thurman said there will be baskets available including: Car basket, with everything needed for a car; Mary Kay beauty products for women; Gourmet gift basket with honey products, jellies and other gifts from local farmer's markets; Pet basket full of goodies and toys for your pet; and Entertainment basket containing four tickets to a Sod Poodles home game on the night of your choice, movie tickets, dinner tickets and more. Attendees can buy one ticket for $10 or five tickets for $45. There are two BB guns, which will give people twice the chance. The buyer can put which basket they are interested in. Proceeds will go to help fund projects such as Volleys for Veterans and towards helping local area youth in giving Youth Citizenship Awards in 38 area schools and other worthwhile projects, including Appreciation Day and Snack Day at Crockett Junior High School, who they have adopted. 'We'd like to do more,' Thurman said, 'but it all costs money.' The event is free for the public, with a $25 early registration fee to register a vehicle ($30 day of event). For information about sponsorships or general information, contact Cheryl Thurman, car show coordinator, at 806-584-1613. To register for the car show in advance, contact Mellessa Denny, 806-236-0190. Vehicle categories include: Founding Fathers (before 1950) Liberty Muscle (1950–1974) Bicentennial Beauties (1975–1999) Enduring Freedom (2000 and newer) Freedom Fighters (trucks) Lafayette (foreign vehicles) There is also a melting pot category for special interest in the works, motorcycles, and miscellaneous. Hand-crafted plaques will be awarded in each category, with the Patriot Award going to best in show. Chapter members recruited local sponsors, donors and vendors. Kids will have fun and games inside the TPWM building with a scavenger hunt and a chance to sign the kid-friendly Declaration of Independence with an old-fashioned feathered quill pen. The kids will be able to keep their copy of the Declaration. The DAR chapter, which hosted its centennial celebration in April, supports veterans and active-duty military, Junior ROTC medals, local teachers and student leadership awards, a float in Canyon's annual Fourth of July parade, Llano Cemetery, the Goodnight Ranch, and Volleys for Veterans Honor Guard. DAR is a nonprofit, nonpolitical women's lineage organization that emphasizes service in three key areas: patriotism, education, and historic preservation. DAR is open to any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot in the American Revolution. To explore membership, contact: Cheryl Thurman, car show coordinator, 806-584-1613. This article originally appeared on Amarillo Globe-News: DAR women host unique Patriotic Car Show at TPWM

CA order for gov't to pay P28B to Hacienda Luisita not yet final, executory —Landbank
State-run lender Land Bank of the Philippines on Thursday said the Court of Appeals' (CA) decision for the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and state-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) to pay P28 billion as just compensation to Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI) for distribution of its land to farmer beneficiaries is not yet final as the decision is still being appealed. 'The CA decision is not yet final and executory. A Motion for Reconsideration was filed by the DAR in May 2025 and is awaiting resolution,' Landbank said. 'If sustained by the CA, DAR may elevate the case to the Supreme Court (SC),' the bank said. In a 35-page decision, the CA said the Tarlac City Regional Trial Court-Special Agrarian Court (RTC-SAC) incorrectly computed the compensation for Hacienda Luisita because the amount to be paid in exchange for the property taken should be "real, substantial, full, ample, just and fair, with due consideration to the factors enumerated under Section 17 [on determination of just compensation] of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law." The decision covers 4,500 hectares of Cojuangco family-owned HLI land. 'Respondents are ordered to pay petitioner the total amount of P28,488,944,278.71 as just compensation as of 30 April 2025, without prejudice to the accrual of interest until fully paid," the CA said. In its statement, Landbank clarified that it was 'dropped as a party respondent to the just compensation case [CA-G.R. SP No. 180821, 'Hacienda Luisita, Inc (HLI). vs. Land Bank of the Philippines and DAR'] by the Court of Appeals (CA) in its decision on April 30, 2024.' 'The latest CA decision on the case, dated April 25, 2025, ordering the payment of P28.49 billion in just compensation to HLI is chargeable against the Agrarian Reform Fund (ARF), which is owned by the National Government and administered by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR),' the bank said. The state-run lender further said its designated role was as custodian of the ARF, 'in charge of carrying out disbursement instructions by the DAR.' In November 2011, the Supreme Court voted 14-0 ordering the distribution of nearly 5,000 hectares of land to some 6,000 farmer beneficiaries of HLI. In a 56-page decision, the 14 magistrates "recalled and set aside" the option given to the farmer beneficiaries — some of them members of Alyansa ng mga Manggagawang Bukid sa Hacienda Luisita (Ambala) and Farm Workers Agrarian Reform Movement (FARM) — to remain as HLI stockholders. The high tribunal upheld its ruling in April 2012. The sprawling estate had been under the control of the family of former Presidents Corazon Aquino and Benigno Aquino III for around six decades before the SC ordered the total distribution of the property to farmworker beneficiaries.—LDF, GMA Integrated News

DAR, Landbank ordered to pay P28 billion to Hacienda Luisita
The Court of Appeals (CA) has ordered the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and state-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) to pay P28 billion as just compensation to Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI) following the Supreme Court's decision ordering the distribution of HLI land to farmer beneficiaries. In a 35-page decision, the CA said the Tarlac City Regional Trial Court-Special Agrarian Court (RTC-SAC) incorrectly computed the compensation for Hacienda Luisita because the amount to be paid in exchange for the property taken should be "real, substantial, full, ample, just and fair, with due consideration to the factors enumerated under Section 17 [on determination of just compensation] of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law." With its ruling, the appellate court granted the petition for review filed by HLI. It also reverses and sets aside the February 15, 2023 decision and August 11, 2023 resolution of the RTC-Branch 63 of Tarlac City, which acted as the Special Agrarian Court. "Respondents are ordered to pay petitioner the total amount of P28,488,944,278.71 as just compensation as of 30 April 2025, without prejudice to the accrual of interest until fully paid," the CA said. The tribunal found that the RTC-SAC "erred," saying that in determining just compensation, "reliable and actual data should have been considered," consistent with DAR regulations, in determining the "fair and full equivalent for the loss sustained by the landowner." "There was data submitted by petitioner HLI for the computation of the Average Gross Income and that it was rejected by DAR Adjudication Board on the purported claim that it was not accurate. There was, however, no proof provided in the said DAR Adjudication Board decision that no data was submitted by the landowner [HLI] or that the data that HLI submitted cannot be verified or validated," the CA added. Further, the CA ruled that the RTC-SAC merely echoed and adopted the findings of the DAR Adjudication Board, which also relied on the valuations made by the DAR and the LBP. "To this Court, petitioner should be compensated fairly and fully in accordance with the equivalent loss sustained by it as landowner. In this regard, an examination of the circumstances of the case at bench showed that the RTC-SAC erred when it did not take into account the actual production value in the determination on how much is the correct just compensation due to petitioner HLI and when it simply affirmed the LBP and DAR's use of industry standard values in determining the land valuation of the CARP acquired properties," the CA said. "In this case, there was a clear admission on the part of DAR in its Answer that petitioner HLI's Audited Financial Statement was available and submitted to them, only that they deny considering them on the general claim, without more, that they cannot be verified or validated. We also checked the Answer with Affirmative Defense filed by LBP but it was not explained therein how the petitioner HLI's data could not be validated or verified," the CA added. The CA said the P28 billion amount for just compensation was arrived at using a prescribed formula that "provides a more equitable and fair computation of just compensation as it factors in various considerations affecting the value, not only of the property at the time of taking, but also of the money which could have accrued to the aggrieved landowner's benefit." "We have also taken into consideration that in computing the land value, the amounts already received by the petitioner in the sum of P471,501,417.98 million should be properly deducted in 2013. Thus, as it shows, the amount of just compensation due to the subject property is Php28,488,944,278.71 as of 30 April 2025," the CA said. In November 2011, the Supreme Court voted 14-0 ordering the distribution of nearly 5,000 hectares of land to some 6,000 farmer beneficiaries of HLI. In a 56-page decision, the 14 magistrates "recalled and set aside" the option given to the farmer beneficiaries — some of them members of Alyansa ng mga Manggagawang Bukid sa Hacienda Luisita (Ambala) and Farm Workers Agrarian Reform Movement (FARM) — to remain as HLI stockholders.
