of
Agrarian

agricultural sector- a predominant
industry in the Philippines.

land they till and free them from the
control of the landlords is one method
to motivate the farmers in the increase
of production.

one of surplus for selling.

improve significantly.

practicing leadership roles.

to school. Agrarian program also
promoted modern outlook among
farmers: family planning and economic
awareness.

God is the owner of the earth.

Filipino farmers rarely found

any help and support from the
church.
