Learning Activity
Activity 1: Table Completion on the Proposals to the CARP and CARPER Laws
The CARP Law was amended and extended by the CARPER Law to make the Agrarian
reform more responsive to the needs and situation of the society, but the law is far from perfect
considering the complaints coming from the different sectors. If you are given the chance to
contribute in crafting a new Agrarian Reform Law, what would be your proposal?
1. Get a copy of the CARP and CARPER Laws.
2. Write on the right side the items you would want changed, revised, or replaced on a
per item basis.
3. Write on the left side your proposal
4. Provide the reason/s for your revision or proposal.

Department of Agrarian Reform is hereby
mandated to complete the land distribution of
this proposal within the specified time frame.
 Prioritization within simultaneous distribution –

proposal.
Reason/s for the proposal
Time Frame and Priorities

The longer it takes, the smaller the scope and the less land to distribute. Ten more years of implementation are
required. According to the Law, the first 10-year period increased to 20 years, and planning to make it 30 years.

AGRARIAN REFORM
CARP and CARPER Laws Proposal 2

Section 7- Priorities (b) The PARC shall establish
guidelines to implement the above priorities and
distribution scheme, including the determination of
who are qualified beneficiaries: Provided, That an
owner-tiller may be a beneficiary of the land he does
not own but is actually cultivating to the extent of the
difference between the area of the land which he
owns and the award limit of three
(3) hectares.
Reason/s for the proposal
An owner tiller may be a beneficiary of land that he
does not own but is actually cultivating to the extent of
the difference between the area of the land that he
owns and the award limit should be as to how many
hectares such a farmer needs, but the PARC shall set
out criteria for the execution of the objectives and
allocation scheme referred above, including the
identification of who are eligible beneficiaries.

There shouldn't be a limit on how many hectares a particular farmer can have. A farmer should be assigned an
assessor according to the type of land he needs based on the crops he cultivates that can feed his family at
harvest.

AGRARIAN REFORM
CARP and CARPER Laws Proposal 3

SECTION 45. Province-by-Province The PARC shall
provide the guidelines for a province-by-province
implementation of the CARP. The ten-year program of
distribution of public and private lands in each
province shall be adjusted from year by the province’s
PARCCOM in accordance with the level of operations
previously established by the PARC, in every case
ensuring that support services are available or have
been programmed before actual distribution is
affected.
Reason/s for the proposal
The PARC will offer instructions for implementing the
CARP on a province-by-province basis. In any instance,
the province's PARCCOM shall alter the ten-year
program of distribution of public and private lands in
accordance with the standard of activities already
defined by the PARC, ensuring that support facilities
are available or have been set up before the actual
delivery is carried out.

This is so that those who cannot get aid in the smallest urban areas (provinces) are not affected by the reform.
Officials in charge of these areas are supposed to prepare an evaluation report proving that each and every
farmer in a certain province receives equal benefits and that no farmer is overlooked.
