Many farmers continue to be landless and most agrarian reform beneficiaries are still poor, says the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas.

MANILA, Philippines — Farmers’ groups converge in front of the Department of Agrarian Reform on Thursday, June 8, for the 35th anniversary of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program .

Thirty-five years after the administration of then-President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino instituted CARP, the Department of Agrarian Reform has been able to distribute over 5 million hectares to landless farmers. However, many farmers continue to be landless and most agrarian reform beneficiaries are still poor, said Danilo Ramos, chairperson of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas .

CARP, also known as Republic Act 6657, was signed in 1988. It promised to redistribute private and public agricultural lands to landless tillers.
