Land has been part of human race life.

It is important that people remain linked to the land, and the


land continues to provide humans with the necessities for survival. Of course, there are many things that
people consider "important" to their survival, such as mobile phones, but nothing is more essential to
human survival than the land on which they live.By land, we don't just mean land in the strict sense of
the word; we mean all of the resources and forces that nature freely provides for man's assistance in
land, water, air, light, and heat.Land is more than just soils and topography; it also includes underlying
superficial deposits, climate, and water supplies, as well as the plant and animal ecosystems that have
evolved as a result of the interaction of these physical conditions. Human activities, as manifested in
changes in vegetative cover or frameworks, are also related to better.

For a long period of time, the agrarian system of Philippines was controlled by the large landlords. The
being small farmers in Philippines were struggling for their rights to land and other natural resources.
And for a long time, the private sector owned most of the land in the Philippines. This began during the
Spanish regime, when large landlords and friars dominated land ownership. Land acquisition was
difficult for Filipino farmers at the time because the only basis for ownership was ancestral domain ship.
The implementation of Agrarian reform is proceeded at a very slow pace. This was due to the lack of
political will 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. Throughout the country’s history, agrarian reform in the Philippines has long been a
combative issue and one that is often preceded by some form of instability and violence. Used mainly as
a tool to garner grassroots support, agrarian reforms were formally institutionalized by setting up
regulations on land size and contracts.

Despite efforts to integrate the reforms to the markets, including the clustering of small hectares of land
into large corporate estates, the benefits of the Agrarian Reform Program remained elusive under
conservative demarcations set by regulations, including the definition of property rights, transformation
or maintenance of state structures and the contract limitations to be formed at the production level.

A situation of 'agrarian' reform covers not only a wide redistribution of land but also the provision of
infrastructure, services and, sometimes, a whole program of redistributive and democratic reforms.
Moreover, a comprehensive agrarian reform shifts society's economic base from agriculture to
manufacturing, allowing for wealth creation and the development of a functioning and healthy
democracy. Agriculture production and farmer incomes have improved as a result of agrarian reform.
Farmer incomes and agricultural production also improved. Agrarian reform was successful, despite the
government's support services being less than ideal in some regions.While there is substantial empirical
evidence that agricultural reform has yielded enormous benefits and has the potential to provide even
greater advantages, it has run into implementation issues. Regardless of CARP's difficulties, the key is
that it is neither the cause nor the solution to poverty. Completing CARP in accordance, on the other
hand.

In conclusion, the government, in my opinion, was primarily concerned with distributing lands and not
with the other goals set forth in the statute. As stated in the editorials that I have read. It is not sufficient
to own land in order to flourish in agriculture. A farmer must have the necessary equipment to harvest
his crops as well as marketing knowledge in order to sell his crops. Even if a poor farmer is given the
right to own land, he will not be able to improve his financial situation because what is given to him is
insufficient. Concerning the CARP loopholes, I am hopeful that the implementation of the CARPer will
resolve the issue of evasion of estat redistribution.The revised CARPer should address the shortcomings
of the previous program and ensure that the implementation is superior to that of the previous
program. Even after 50 years, the Philippines is still far from achieving agrarian reform. If they continue
at this rate, it will take a very long time to lift our Filipino farmers out of poverty.
