    By definition Agrarian Reforms means the “distribution of farmland to need peasant along with the government support programs such as roads, technical assistance, and lines of credit needed to make beneficiaries economically viable.(H. Handleman,pg.311). There are five arguments toward Agrarian reform, Social Justice and Equality, Political Stability, Productivity, Economic Growth, and Environmental Preservation. Many analysts agree that Social Justice and Equality is severely needed the of third world countries, because the millions of rural families who farm the land are “trapped in a web of poverty, malnutrition, and illiteracy from which few escape (H. Handleman, pg.173).” For those living in such conditions Agrarian Reform in a step toward political and socioeconomic justice. Political Stability is another argument toward Agrarian…

    • 13 Pages

    CARPER also known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms Bill or Republic Act 9700. It is an act amending several provisions of Republic Act 6657, or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) of 1988. The Philippines has a program called Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) that aims to redistribute all agricultural lands to landless farmers. In December 2008, the budget for CARP has expired and there remains 1.2 million hectares of agricultural lands waiting to be acquired and distributed to farmers. Philippine Congress being a landlord dominated institution is reluctant to continue the funding of CARP despite the clear call by farmers and the President to pass a CARP Extension with Reforms law. It was first filed as House Bill 1527 by Akbayan Partylist Rep. Risa Hontiveros in 2007, it was later substituted by House Bill 4077, also sponsored by Hontiveros and Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, the version made into law. Its Senate counterpart was Senate Bill 2666, filed by Sen. Gregorio Honasan.…

    Among other provisions, the CARPER bill mandates that private agricultural lands – the type that the Arroyos and the Cojuangcos own – can only be distributed if the original CARP managed to distribute 90 percent of its target. But CARP, despite the two decades it had, only distributed less than half of it. It’s an impossible provision that only underscores what progressive farmers have been saying all along – that CARPER is bogus.…

    For many years, farmers till agricultural lands not for themselves but for the landowners and being paid for the job done. They even not own the house that they lived in; they act as caretakers of the land and they do not have benefits aside from the payment that they get from doing the job. Our government formulate ways to abolish large landed property and feudal production system. The rural population should be appeased and integrated into the society, and this would contribute to the political stability of the country. Comprehensive agrarian reform program (CARP) aims at reducing the inequalities in income, wealth and living standards and at strengthening independent and self reliant farmers. The economic objectives of such reforms are to abolish inefficient production structures, exploit the efficiency of family farms, increase agricultural production and increase demand for farm inputs and services that stimulate development in the non-agricultural sector.…
