Land and Agrarian Reform in the Philippines

Land and Agrarian Reform has been a contentious issue in the Philippines even before
history was written. Even in our contemporary times, the issue on land and agrarian
matters has often brought up conflicts between the "haves" and the "have nots". These
same issues has been the precursor of the existence of the Communist movement and
insurgency in the countryside.
The questions now lies, does the State do enough to protect the interests of the public
and are there measures initiated to promote social justice reform in the aspect of and
and agrarian reform?
The presentation herein attempts to answer the same by showing the different pertinent
pieces of legislation intended to close the gap between the land owners and its tillers.

 The Kind Deer (A Filipino Fable)
A big lion got trapped under a heavy trunk of a tree and could hardly move. A deer was
afraid of him but it was so kind-hearted that it decided to help him get out of the heavy
trunk.
It scratched the soil around vigorously, then the soil under his body. After a long while, the
lion was freed but he could not move easily because some parts of his body were painful.
He then asked the deer to accommodate him to his cave, and there, he promised to give the
deer some food as a sign of gratitude.
The deer simply smiled at him and said it didn't want to try it's luck any further. It was
enough for the deer that the lion was in pain and could not kill him. The deer then left.

Ang Mabait na Usa
Hindi makagalaw ang isang leon na nadaganan ng isang malaking sanga ng puno. Kahit na
takot ang isang usa ay nagpasiya itong tulungan ang leo na makawala sa malaking sanga.
Matiyaga nitong hinukay ang lupa sa paligid at sa katawan ng leon. Pagkatapos ng ilang
sandali, nakawala ang leon ngunit hindi ito makagalaw dahil sa sakit sa ilang bahagi ng
kanyang katawan. Humingi ang leon ng tulong na samahan siya sa kanyang kuweba at
nangako itong bibigyan niya ang usa ng pagkain bilang tanda ng pagpapasalamat.
Ngumiti lamang ang usa sa kanya at sinabing hindi na niya nais subukan ang kanyang
kapalaran. Sapat na para sa usa na may iniinda itong sakit at wala itong kakayahang
patayin siya. Umalis na lamang ang usa.

Ang Alamat ng Saging

Noong unang panahon, may isang babaeng nagngangalang Raja. Siya ang natatanging
kaibigan ng isang mangingisda na nagngangalang Galencio.
Nakalulungkot na pumanaw si Galencio dahil sa sakit. Dahil sa labis na pangungulila,
kinakausap ni Raja ang mga hayop pati na ang mga halaman.
Isang araw, habang kinakausap ni Raja ang isang ibon, nakita niya ang isang kunehong
tumatakbo. Sinundan niya ito hanggang sa marating ang isang maruming kuweba. Nakita
niya mula rito ang isang espirito; sinundan niya ang espirito at nadapa siya sa lugar na
puno ng ginto, diyamante, at pilak. Nagsimula siyang tumalon.
Naging laman ang espirito at hinalikan siya nito; nakatulog siya at nagising sa isang
ginintuang silid-tulugan. Ang espiritong lalaki ay si Baanna; pinakasalan nito si Raja at
nagkaroon ng anak na lalaki. Alam ni Baanna na panahon na upang bumalik sa mundo ng
espirito; sa araw na iyon, naglaho siya; ang tanging nakikita ni Raja ay ang pusong duguan.
Kinuha niya ito at itinanim at lumago ito hanggang sa mamunga ng kulay gintong prutas,
gintong hawig sa ginintuang silid-tulugan. Pinangalanan niya itong saging bilang pagkilala
kay Baanna.

Minsan mayroong isang batang babae na nagngangalang Raja. Siya lamang ang
kaibigan ng mangingisda na nagngangalang Galencio.
Nakalulungkot na namatay si Galencio dahil sa sakit sa puso. Si Raja ay nag-iisa na
nakausap niya ang mga hayop maging ang mga halaman.
Isang araw habang nakikipag-usap si Raja sa isang ibon, isang kuneho ang tumakbo.
Sinundan niya ang kuneho hanggang sa maabot niya ang isang maduming kweba. Sa
yungib nakita niya ang isang espiritu, sinundan niya ang diwa na nadapa siya at
nahanap ang kanyang sarili sa isang lugar na puno ng ginto, brilyante at pilak.
Nagsimula siyang tumalon. Ang espiritu ay naging laman at hinalikan siya, natulog siya
at nagising sa isang magandang gintong silid-tulugan. Ang espiritung tao ay si Baanna,
pinakasalan niya si Raja at nagkaroon ng isang anak na lalaki. Alam ni Baanna na
kanyang oras upang bumalik sa mundo ng mga espiritu .. sa araw na iyon siya ay
lumabas at nawala, ang nakikita ni Raja ay isang dumudugo na puso. Kinuha niya ito at
itinanim at lumaki ang halaman at nagbunga ng isang ginintuang prutas, kasing
ginintuang ginintuang silid-tulugan - pinangalanan niya itong saging bilang isang
karangalan kay Baanna.
