History
On October 22, 1962, 22 striking workers in the La Carlota milling districts' 11 haciendas were convicted by the Ponteverda peace court of resistance and disobedience to agents of authority, and placed in a small cell that was made for two to three people. Upon receiving reports about their squalid conditions, President Diosdado Macapagal granted them all executive clemency on November 9, 1962.
