SOCIAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL ISSUES IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY

1. The Philippine Rice Share Tenancy Act of 1933 (Act 4045)

It was as unique to Central Luzon geographically as it was to rice agronomically. In 1939, five Central
Luzon provinces with the majority of their farmland planted to rice had share tenancy rates above 50%:
Tarlac (50.5), Cavite (53.5), Bulacan (62.2), Pampanga (64.6), and Nueva Ecija (66.3.3). Panay was the
only place outside of Central Luzon where rice culture and high tenancy rates coexisted. The land was
usually cultivated by its owners in Hocos, the third most important rice-growing region.

President Manuel L. Quezon signed the Rice Share Tenancy Act of 1933, which formed the Philippine
Commonwealth. The goal of this act was to create basic requirements for share-tenancy contracts in
order to regulate them. Landlords were able to evict renters merely by refusing to renew their lease.

and no feet or stumps of any type must be paid or requested. The goal of this Act is to establish
agricultural tenancy relationships between landholders and tenants based on school justice principles,
to provide proper protection to both tenants and landholders' rights, and to guarantee an equal share of
the land's output and revenue.

3. Agricultural Land Reform Code of 1963 (RA 3844)

The Agricultural Land Reform Code (RA 3844) was adopted in 1963 by President Diosdado Macapagal to
pursue land reform in the Philippines. It abolished tenancy and introduced a leasehold system in which
farmers paid set rents to landlords rather than a proportion of harvest.

In an agricultural leasehold, a farmer cultivates land that belongs to or is held by another with the
permission of the latter for a fixed fee in money, produce, or both. It also formed the Philippine Land
Bank to assist with land reform, notably the purchase of land. agricultural estates for partition and
resale to small landowners, and the agricultural lessee's acquisition of land.

4. Presidential Decree No. 27, October 21,1972

Because of the law's inherent restrictions in actually granting lands to farmers, PD 27 eventually failed to
provide social justice to the poor peasants. As a result, it's unsurprising that they mark the occasion with
a series of protests and long marches to Mendiola. They wish to draw attention to the unfortunate

their own land to farm.

The agricultural reform program is based on farmers' rights. Regular farm employees who are landless

It is the redistribution of private and public agricultural lands for the benefit of the general population.
