Agrarian Reform in the Philippines
Agrarian Reform in the Philippines
Agrarian Reform in the Philippines
For a long period of time, the agrarian system of
Philippines was being controlled by the large
landlords. The small farmers in Philippines were
struggling for their rights to land and other
natural resources.
Implementation of Agrarian Reform in Philippines
The implementation of Agrarian reforms proceeded
at a very slow pace. This was due to the lack of
political will. The redistribution of land was also very slow.

Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law: Philippines
The Republic Act No. 6657, alternatively called the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law was signed by
President Corazon C. Aquino on 10th June, 1988.
The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law is responsible
for the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian
Reform Program(CARP) in Philippines. The law focused
on industrialization in Philippines together with social justice.
The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law: Objectives
The primary objective of instituting the Comprehensive Agrarian
 Reform law was to successfully devise land reform in Philippines.
It was President Arroyo, who signed the Executive Order No. 456
on 23rd August to rename the Department of Land Reform as
Department of Agrarian Reform. This had been done to expand
the functional area of the law. Apart from land reform, the
Department of Agrarian Reform began to supervise other
allied activities to improve the economic and social status of
the beneficiaries of land reform in Philippines.
CARP Meaning
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program of 1988,
also known as CARP, is a Philippine state policy that
ensures and promotes welfare of landless farmers and
farm workers, as well as elevation of social justice and
equity among rural areas.




                                                           HOME
Agrarian reform is a 100-year history of unfinished reforms after
the United States took over the country from the Spaniards.
Before the Hispanic period, there were no owner-cultivators,
only communal land owned by the barangay which consisted
of a datu, freemen, serfs and slaves.
The Spaniards replaced this traditional system of land ownership,
similar to existing systems among several indigenous communities
today and distributed the land (haciendas) to the Spanish military and
the clergy or established encomiendas (administrative districts).

The 1935 Constitution addressed the issue of foreign access to
land, i.e. corporations must have at least 60% Filipino ownership,
and use-rights were limited in time. Other reforms included
limitations on interest rates on loans and an increase in the
sharecropping share from 50% to 70%. But very little of these
laws were really followed in practice and the Huk rebellion was born.
Under the Magsaysay and the Macapagal administrations, land
reform was again tackled, such as the Mindanao resettlement
program and the Land Reform Act of 1955. but no significant
results were really achieved in terms of scope and magnitude
of land transfer.

With martial law, the whole Philippines was declared a land reform
 area under PD 27. Significant progress was made, but the continued
practice of the share tenancy system, coverage limitation to rice and
corn lands, the many exemptions allowed and the shortcomings in
support systems (although it was Marcos who set up the new Agrarian
Reform Department) did much to limit the effectivity of the reforms in
addressing the over-concentration of wealth problem and rural poverty.
The CARP years since 1988 – for the first time the program covered all
agriculture lands regardless of crop and tenurial arrangements. Land
distribution increased substantially – about 7 million hectares with
about 4.2 million farmer beneficiaries. But the total figures hide
disturbing underperformances.

  -   and only about 1.5 million hectares of private agricultural
      lands have been covered for an accomplishment rate of
      only about 50% after twenty years.

  -   Moreover the lack of support services, funding and
      infrastructure, is still prevalent. Of the original estimate
       of P220 billion to complete the program, only P203 billion
      have been budgeted by Congress, of which only about
      P170 billion have been released.

                                                                     HOME
While there is significant empirical evidence that agrarian reform
has yielded significant benefits and has the potential for even
greater benefits, the fact is that it has encountered implementation
problems.

Regardless of the problems encountered by CARP, the point
is that CARP is not the cause of the continuing poverty nor
the obstacle to solving it. On the contrary, completing CARP
in accordance with the mandate of the Constitution is a
necessary condition to correct social injustice, and achieve
sound agricultural development and economic growth.
Of course, agrarian reform is not a panacea that will solve all
our problems. Neither is education, nor health care, nor
industrialization nor clean elections, nor honest leadership.
The fact is that the path to growth with equity is a complex
process because we need all the programs working together
to succeed.
In the final analysis, the future of CARP is a political decision
of those in power with respect to two questions:
 - How much reforms is the government willing to implement?
 - How much resources is government willing to devote to such reforms?



                                                                    HOME
Department of Agrarian Reform is the lead implementing
agency of Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program
(CARP). It undertakes land tenure improvement and
development of program beneficiaries. DAR conducts
land survey in resettlement areas. It undertakes land
acquisition and distribution and land management studies.
The DAR also orchestrates the delivery of support services
to farmer-beneficiaries and promotes the development
of viable agrarian reform communities.
The DAR logo shows the Department's acronym representing the institution and its
role as the lead agency in the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform
Program (CARP).

Green stands for fertility and productivity while yellow represents hope
and a golden harvest of agrarian reform beneficiaries who are the recipients
of the services provided by the Department via CARP. Both colors imply that
economic growth and sound rural development can be achieved through
agrarian reform.
Mandate

AN ACT STRENGTHENING THE COMPREHENSIVE AGRARIAN
REFORM PROGRAM (CARP), EXTENDING THE ACQUISITION AND
  DISTRIBUTION OF ALL AGRICULTURAL LANDS, INSTITUTING
NECESSARY REFORMS, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE CERTAIN
 PROVISIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6657, OTHERWISE KNOWN
  AS THE COMPREHENSIVE AGRARIAN REFORM LAW OF 1988,
     AS AMENDED, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
SECTION 1
Declaration of Principles and Policies. - It is the policy of the State to pursue a
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). The welfare of the landless farmers
and farmworkers will receive the highest consideration to promote social
justice and to move the nation toward sound rural development and industrialization,
and the establishment of owner cultivatorship of economic-size farms as the
basis of Philippine agriculture.

"The State shall promote industrialization and full employment based on
sound agricultural development and agrarian reform.

 "The State recognizes that there is not enough agricultural land to be divided and
 distributed to each farmer and regular farmworker so that each one can own
 his/her economic-size family farm.
"A more equitable distribution and ownership of land, with due regard to the rights
of landowners to just compensation.

"The agrarian reform program is founded on the right of farmers and regular
farmworkers, who are landless, to own directly or collectively the lands they till or,
in the case of other farmworkers, to receive a just share of the fruits thereof.

 "As much as practicable, the implementation of the program shall be
 community-based to assure, among others, that the farmers shall have greater
 control of farmgate prices, and easier access to credit.

 "The State shall recognize the right of farmers, farmworkers and landowners, as
 well as cooperatives and other independent farmers’ organizations, to participate
 in the planning, organization, and management of the program,
"The State shall recognize and enforce, consistent with existing laws, the rights of
rural women to own and control land, taking into consideration the substantive
equality between men and women as qualified beneficiaries,

"The State shall apply the principles of agrarian reform, or stewardship, whenever
applicable, in accordance with law, in the disposition or utilization of other natural
resources,

"The State may resettle landless farmers and farm workers in its own agricultural
estates, which shall be distributed to them in the manner provided by law.

"By means of appropriate incentives, the State shall encourage the formation and
 maintenance of economic-size family farms to be constituted by individual
beneficiaries and small landowners.
"The State shall protect the rights of subsistence fishermen, especially of local
communities, to the preferential use of communal marine and fishing
resources, both inland and offshore. It shall provide support to such fishermen
through appropriate technology and research, adequate financial, production and
marketing assistance and other services.
"The State shall be guided by the principles that land has a social function and land
 ownership has a social responsibility. Owners of agricultural land have the
obligation to cultivate directly or through labor administration the lands they own
and thereby make the land productive.
"The State shall provide incentives to landowners to invest the proceeds of the
agrarian reform program to promote industrialization, employment and
privatization of public sector enterprises.

"The State may lease undeveloped lands of the public domain to qualified entities
 for the development of capital-intensive farms, and traditional and pioneering
crops especially those for exports subject to the prior rights of the beneficiaries
 under this Act."

Agrarian Reform in the Philippines

  • 4. For a long period of time, the agrarian system of Philippines was being controlled by the large landlords. The small farmers in Philippines were struggling for their rights to land and other natural resources.
  • 5. Implementation of Agrarian Reform in Philippines The implementation of Agrarian reforms proceeded at a very slow pace. This was due to the lack of political will. The redistribution of land was also very slow. Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law: Philippines The Republic Act No. 6657, alternatively called the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law was signed by President Corazon C. Aquino on 10th June, 1988. The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law is responsible for the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program(CARP) in Philippines. The law focused on industrialization in Philippines together with social justice.
  • 6. The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law: Objectives The primary objective of instituting the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform law was to successfully devise land reform in Philippines. It was President Arroyo, who signed the Executive Order No. 456 on 23rd August to rename the Department of Land Reform as Department of Agrarian Reform. This had been done to expand the functional area of the law. Apart from land reform, the Department of Agrarian Reform began to supervise other allied activities to improve the economic and social status of the beneficiaries of land reform in Philippines.
  • 7. CARP Meaning Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program of 1988, also known as CARP, is a Philippine state policy that ensures and promotes welfare of landless farmers and farm workers, as well as elevation of social justice and equity among rural areas. HOME
  • 8. Agrarian reform is a 100-year history of unfinished reforms after the United States took over the country from the Spaniards. Before the Hispanic period, there were no owner-cultivators, only communal land owned by the barangay which consisted of a datu, freemen, serfs and slaves.
  • 9. The Spaniards replaced this traditional system of land ownership, similar to existing systems among several indigenous communities today and distributed the land (haciendas) to the Spanish military and the clergy or established encomiendas (administrative districts). The 1935 Constitution addressed the issue of foreign access to land, i.e. corporations must have at least 60% Filipino ownership, and use-rights were limited in time. Other reforms included limitations on interest rates on loans and an increase in the sharecropping share from 50% to 70%. But very little of these laws were really followed in practice and the Huk rebellion was born.
  • 10. Under the Magsaysay and the Macapagal administrations, land reform was again tackled, such as the Mindanao resettlement program and the Land Reform Act of 1955. but no significant results were really achieved in terms of scope and magnitude of land transfer. With martial law, the whole Philippines was declared a land reform area under PD 27. Significant progress was made, but the continued practice of the share tenancy system, coverage limitation to rice and corn lands, the many exemptions allowed and the shortcomings in support systems (although it was Marcos who set up the new Agrarian Reform Department) did much to limit the effectivity of the reforms in addressing the over-concentration of wealth problem and rural poverty.
  • 11. The CARP years since 1988 – for the first time the program covered all agriculture lands regardless of crop and tenurial arrangements. Land distribution increased substantially – about 7 million hectares with about 4.2 million farmer beneficiaries. But the total figures hide disturbing underperformances. - and only about 1.5 million hectares of private agricultural lands have been covered for an accomplishment rate of only about 50% after twenty years. - Moreover the lack of support services, funding and infrastructure, is still prevalent. Of the original estimate of P220 billion to complete the program, only P203 billion have been budgeted by Congress, of which only about P170 billion have been released. HOME
  • 12. While there is significant empirical evidence that agrarian reform has yielded significant benefits and has the potential for even greater benefits, the fact is that it has encountered implementation problems. Regardless of the problems encountered by CARP, the point is that CARP is not the cause of the continuing poverty nor the obstacle to solving it. On the contrary, completing CARP in accordance with the mandate of the Constitution is a necessary condition to correct social injustice, and achieve sound agricultural development and economic growth.
  • 13. Of course, agrarian reform is not a panacea that will solve all our problems. Neither is education, nor health care, nor industrialization nor clean elections, nor honest leadership. The fact is that the path to growth with equity is a complex process because we need all the programs working together to succeed. In the final analysis, the future of CARP is a political decision of those in power with respect to two questions: - How much reforms is the government willing to implement? - How much resources is government willing to devote to such reforms? HOME
  • 14. Department of Agrarian Reform is the lead implementing agency of Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). It undertakes land tenure improvement and development of program beneficiaries. DAR conducts land survey in resettlement areas. It undertakes land acquisition and distribution and land management studies. The DAR also orchestrates the delivery of support services to farmer-beneficiaries and promotes the development of viable agrarian reform communities.
  • 15. The DAR logo shows the Department's acronym representing the institution and its role as the lead agency in the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). Green stands for fertility and productivity while yellow represents hope and a golden harvest of agrarian reform beneficiaries who are the recipients of the services provided by the Department via CARP. Both colors imply that economic growth and sound rural development can be achieved through agrarian reform.
  • 16. Mandate The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) leads the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) through land tenure improvement, agrarian justice, and coordinated delivery of essential support services to client-beneficiaries.
  • 17. Mission "To lead in the implementation of agrarian reform and sustainable rural development in the countryside through land tenure improvement and provision of integrated development services to landless farmers, farmworkers and small landowner-cultivators, and the delivery of agrarian justice".
  • 18. Vision "A nation where there is equitable land ownership and empowered agrarian reform beneficiaries who are effectively managing their economic and social development for a better quality of life"
  • 19. Present Secretary of DAR Prior to his official appointment as Agrarian Reform Secretary last 30 June 2010, Secretary Virgilio de los Reyes was Vice-Dean of the College of Law of the De La Salle University in Manila. HOME
  • 20. AN ACT STRENGTHENING THE COMPREHENSIVE AGRARIAN REFORM PROGRAM (CARP), EXTENDING THE ACQUISITION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ALL AGRICULTURAL LANDS, INSTITUTING NECESSARY REFORMS, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6657, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE COMPREHENSIVE AGRARIAN REFORM LAW OF 1988, AS AMENDED, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
  • 21. SECTION 1 Declaration of Principles and Policies. - It is the policy of the State to pursue a Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). The welfare of the landless farmers and farmworkers will receive the highest consideration to promote social justice and to move the nation toward sound rural development and industrialization, and the establishment of owner cultivatorship of economic-size farms as the basis of Philippine agriculture. "The State shall promote industrialization and full employment based on sound agricultural development and agrarian reform. "The State recognizes that there is not enough agricultural land to be divided and distributed to each farmer and regular farmworker so that each one can own his/her economic-size family farm.
  • 22. "A more equitable distribution and ownership of land, with due regard to the rights of landowners to just compensation. "The agrarian reform program is founded on the right of farmers and regular farmworkers, who are landless, to own directly or collectively the lands they till or, in the case of other farmworkers, to receive a just share of the fruits thereof. "As much as practicable, the implementation of the program shall be community-based to assure, among others, that the farmers shall have greater control of farmgate prices, and easier access to credit. "The State shall recognize the right of farmers, farmworkers and landowners, as well as cooperatives and other independent farmers’ organizations, to participate in the planning, organization, and management of the program,
  • 23. "The State shall recognize and enforce, consistent with existing laws, the rights of rural women to own and control land, taking into consideration the substantive equality between men and women as qualified beneficiaries, "The State shall apply the principles of agrarian reform, or stewardship, whenever applicable, in accordance with law, in the disposition or utilization of other natural resources, "The State may resettle landless farmers and farm workers in its own agricultural estates, which shall be distributed to them in the manner provided by law. "By means of appropriate incentives, the State shall encourage the formation and maintenance of economic-size family farms to be constituted by individual beneficiaries and small landowners.
  • 24. "The State shall protect the rights of subsistence fishermen, especially of local communities, to the preferential use of communal marine and fishing resources, both inland and offshore. It shall provide support to such fishermen through appropriate technology and research, adequate financial, production and marketing assistance and other services. "The State shall be guided by the principles that land has a social function and land ownership has a social responsibility. Owners of agricultural land have the obligation to cultivate directly or through labor administration the lands they own and thereby make the land productive. "The State shall provide incentives to landowners to invest the proceeds of the agrarian reform program to promote industrialization, employment and privatization of public sector enterprises. "The State may lease undeveloped lands of the public domain to qualified entities for the development of capital-intensive farms, and traditional and pioneering crops especially those for exports subject to the prior rights of the beneficiaries under this Act."
  • 25. SECTION 2 Definitions. - Farmer refers to a natural person whose primary livelihood is cultivation of land or the production of agricultural crops, livestock and/or fisheries either by himself/herself, or primarily with the assistance of his/her immediate farm household, whether the land is owned by him/her, or by another person under a leasehold or share tenancy agreement or arrangement with the owner thereof. Rural women refer to women who are engaged directly or indirectly in farming and/or fishing as their source of livelihood, whether paid or unpaid, regular or seasonal, or in food preparation, managing the household, caring for the children, and other similar activities."
  • 26.

Provided, That lands subject to CARP shall first undergo the land acquisition and distribution process of the program: Provided, further, That when these lands have been subjected to expropriation, the agrarian reform beneficiaries therein shall be paid just compensation."
  • 28. Review of Limits of Land Size. - Within six (6) months from the effectivity of this Act, the DAR shall submit a comprehensive study on the land size appropriate for each type of crop to Congress for a possible review of limits of land sizes provided in this Act."
