Land issues are key drivers of conflict and poverty, creating a vicious cycle.

Abstract. The battle cry of Philippine land reform, dating back to American colonial times, has al¬ways been “land for the landless”. 4,542,968 hectares of land have been distributed to 2,653,254 farmers. But, poverty has only decreased by 2% and poverty incidence among farmers in the country at 44% as of 2006.
This research paper aims to understand the reason why Philippine Land Reform is still an issue up until now and how the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) helped the farmers and how was the process of the program. It will show the importance of land reform of the country as well as how it contributes in the agricultural sector.
The main highlight of the land reform program of Marcos is presidential decree number 27, which confiscated rice or corn lands over 7 hectares by mar and gave it to qualified tenants of the landowner.
