    Post-War Interventions

    toward Agrarian
    Reform
    Definition of terms
    • Peasants- a poor farmer of low social status who owns or rents
    a small piece of land for cultivation.
    • Bence- to conquer or to win
    • Tende- expressing the softer emotions, fond, loving a tender
    lover, etc.
    • Vigorous- strong, healthy, and full of energy.
    Rehabilitation and rebuilding after the war were focused on
    providing solutions to the problems of the past. The administration
    of President Roxas passed Republic Act No. 34 to establish a 70-
    30 sharing arrangement between tenant and landlord,
    respectively, which reduced the interest of landowners' loans to
    tenants at six percent or less.

    Under the term of President Elpidio Quirino, the Land


    Settlement Development Corporation (LASEDECO) was
    established to accelerate and expand the resettlement program
    for peasants.
    This agency later on became the National Resettlement and
    Rehabilitation Administration. We under the administration of
    President Ramon Magsaysay.
    Magsaysay saw the importance of pursuing genuine land
    reform program and convinced the Congress, majority of which
    were landed elites, wo legislation to improve the land reform
    situation. Republic Act No. 1 the Agricultural Tenancy Act was
    passed to govern the relationship bence landholders and tenant
    farmers, protecting the tenurial rights of tende and enforced
    tenancy practices. Through this law, the Court of
    Agriculuda(Agriculture) Relations was created in 1955 to improve
    tenancy security, fix land rentado of tenanted farms, and resolve
    land disputes filed by the landowners and peasant organizations.
    The Agricultura, Credit and Cooperative Financing
    Administration (ACCFA) was also created mainly to provide
    warehouse facilities and assist farmers in marketing their
    products.
    NARRA accelerated the government's resettlement program
    and distribution of agricultural lands to landless tenants and
    farmers. It also aimed to convince members of the Huks, a
    movement of rebels in Central Luzon, to resettle in areas where
    they could restart their lives as peaceful citizens.

    A major stride in land reform arrived during the term of


    President Diosdado Macapagal through the Agricultural Land
    Reform Code (Republic Act No. 3844).
    Primary Source: Declaration of Policy under RA No.
    3844 or Agricultural Land Reform code.
    Source: Section 2. Declaration of Policy--It is the policy of the
    State:
    1. To establish owner-cultivatorship and the economic family size
    farm as the basis of Philippine agriculture and, as a
    consequence, divert landlord capital in agriculture to industrial
    development;
    2. To achieve a dignified existence for the small farmers free
    from pernicious institutional restraints and practices;
    3. To create a truly viable social and economic structure in
    agriculture conductive to greater productivity and higher farm
    incomes;
    4. To apply all labor laws equally and without discrimination to both
    industrial and agricultural wage earners;
    5. To provide a more vigorous and systematic lang resettlement
    program and public land distribution; and
    6. To make the small farmers more independent, self-reliant and
    responsible citizens, and a source of genuine strength in our
    democratic society.
    This code abolished share tenancy in the Philippines and prescribed
    a program to convert tenant-farmers to lessees and later on owner-
    cultivators. It also aimed to free tenants from tenancy and emphasize
    owner-cultivatorship and farmer independence, equity, productivity
    improvement, and public land distribution.

    Despite being one of the most comprehensive pieces of land reform


    legislation ever passed in the Philippines, Congress did not make any
    effort to come up with a separate bill to fund its implementation,
    despite the fact that it proved beneficial in the provinces where it was
    pilot tested.
