- Hi Mitch! Is it true that before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, Filipinos lived in villages or barangays ruled by chiefs or datus.
- Everyone regardless the status had access to the land and mutual shares to fruits of their labor. During this period, food production was intended for family consumption only.
- Yes, because during the pre-colonial period our God gave this land to us.
- when Spaniards came to the Philippines, the concept of pueblo agriculture was introduced. It is the system wherein each native family is given 45 hectares of land to cultivate. The native family were merely landholders and not landowners. It was because the land assigned to them was the property of the Spanish King where they pay their colonial tributes in the form of agricultural products they produced.
- But later, neighboring communities were engaged in a Barter Trade, exchanging their goods with others.
- during American era in 1898 to 1935 they realizing that being landless was the main cause of social unrest and revolt at the time, the Americans sought to put an end to the miserable conditions of the tenant tillers and small farmers by passing several land policies to widen the base of small landholdings and distribute land ownership among the greater number of Filipino tenants and farmers.
- Philippine bill of 1902, This law provide d regulations on the disposal of public lands wherein a private individual can own 16 hectares of land while the corporate land holdings can avail of 1,024 hectares. This also gave the right to the Americans to owns agricultural lands.
- Upon the arrival of the Japanese in the Philippines in 1942, peasants and workers organization grew strength. They identified themselves as an anti-Japanese group the HUKBALAHAP or Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa mga Hapon.
- For them, the war was a golden opportunity for people's initiative to push pro-poor programs. Landlords were overpowered by the peasants, but unfortunately at the end of the war through the help of the military police and civilian guards. Landlords were able to retrieve their land from the HUKBALAHAP.
- Your'e welcome. I have no problem teaching you more anytime.
- Thank you so much for improving my knowledge and informing me about the Policies on Agrarian Reform, Mitch.
