The Agricultural Land Reform Code (RA 3844) was a major Philippine land reform law

signed into law by President Diosdado Macapagal who is the father of agrarian reform
in August 8, 1963. This act is to establish the Agricultural Land Reform Code and
execute land reforms in the Philippines, including the abolition of tenancy and the
channeling of capital into industry, as well as to establish the required implementing
agencies, appropriate funding, and other objectives.

Therefore, the Agricultural Land Reform Code was very helpful to our country. In fact,
some observers tend to attribute President Macapagal's passion for enacting additional
land reform legislation. The program provides assistance due to the rising force of the
new middle class composed of urban industrialists and other professionals. Thus,
influential economic advisors start to saw land reform as a necessary component of a
strategy for rapid economic development.
