Land reform in the Philippines had its beginnings in 1962, when Section 49 of Republic Act (RA) 3844, or the Agricultural Land Reform Code, necessitated the creation of the Land Authority. This agency was tasked to implement the policies set forth in RA 3844 and was created on August 8, 1963. Republic Act 3844 reorganized existing agencies involved in tasks related to land reform and realigned their functions towards attaining the common objectives of the land reform program. On September 10, 1971, President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed RA 6389, otherwise known as the Code of Agrarian Reform of the Philippines, into law. Section 49 of this act mandated the establishment of a new self-contained department, the Department of Agrarian Reform, and this effectively replaced the Land Authority. In 1978, under the parliamentary form of government, the DAR was renamed the Ministry of Agrarian Reform. On July 26, 1987, the department was organized something structurally and functionally through Executive Order (EO) No. 129-A. In 1988, Republic Act No. 6657, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) was signed into law and became the legal basis for the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). It is an act instituting a CARP with the aim of promoting social justice and industrialization.

    The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend a series of methods to help implement the land reform in Centropico. Based on a practical analysis relying on current conditions of Centropico’s political environment, land transfers and the Department of Rural Reform (DRR), the findings show that these recommendations will promote land reform in Centropico by reducing cabinet-level debates, improving DRR’s administrative capacity, refining land transferring and raising funding. These recommendations include: 1) Unify “different voices” towards land reform among government with vigorous argumentation and convincing documentation, 2) Lay off idle staffs and recruit new members in DRR to ensure the implementation of land transfer system, 3) Quantify and purchase the land from private farmers, government and banks, 4) Persuade new president to charge large farmers or to take land from them with compensation.…

    Land reform is linked to social justice. When Spain colonized the Philippines by force beginning 1521, its land was already claimed by the conquistadors in the name of Spain. The natives who were already tilling the land were put under Spanish landlords, who were given royal grant to “own” the land and exact forced labor and taxes from the natives. After the Spaniards left, the Americans took over. When the Philippines became independent in 1946, history had set right by giving the lands back to the people whose ancestors have been tilling then for centuries. However, a new feudal system developed among Filipinos themselves, and once again drove a wedge between the tillers and their land.…

    Land reform (also agrarian reform, though that can have a broader meaning) involves the changing of laws, regulations or customs regarding land ownership.[1] Land reform may consist of a government-initiated or government-backed property redistribution, generally of agricultural land. Land reform can, therefore, refer to transfer of ownership from the more powerful to the less powerful:such as from a relatively small number of wealthy (or noble) owners with extensive land holdings (e.g., plantations, large ranches, or agribusiness plots) to individual ownership by those who work the land.[2] Such transfers of ownership may be with or without compensation; compensation may vary from token amounts to the full value of the land.[3]…
