Summary
The establishment of The Third Republic of the Philippines enacted the redefining of the
Constitution; as well as laws and rules that aimed to give our early economy structure and
further development.
“The Constitution of 1943 was enacted during the Japanese occupation but was not fully
effective during the Third Republic. The Constitution of 1947, also known as the "Constitution of
the Republic of the Philippines," became effective upon independence”. This has paved the way
of a presidential system and along with it the definition of the rights and responsibilities of the
citizens. The Agrarian Reform Code (Republic Act No. 1199, 1954) was also put in place to
promote the agricultural development and the welfare of landless farmers. It has also sought the
expropriation of estates for these same farmers. R.A. No. 1937 – Tariff and Customs Code of
the Philippines provided a law that would regulate the importation and exportation of agricultural
and other materials manufactured in the Philippines. This also generated revenue to support
government funded activities and infrastructure
The coming of The Third Republic of the Philippines saw the creation of laws and rules that
were aimed to establish firm government, rights of every citizen, protection and development of
the economy especially in the agricultural aspect.
