3. Common denomination of social legislation;
4. CARP in GENERAL
-

CARP, or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (RA6657), is

the redistribution of public and private agricultural lands to farmers
and farmworkers who are landless, irrespective of tenurial
arrangement.

5. Vision of CARP
- CARPs vision is to have an equitable land ownership with
empowered agrarian reform beneficiaries who can effectively
manage their economic and social development to have a better
quality of life.
6. Objectives of CARP
- The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) has as its
primary objectives both the improvement of equality and the
increase in productivity and growth in the rural areas.
7. Classes of lands covered by CARP
- (a) All alienable and disposable lands of the public domain devoted
to or suitable for agriculture. No reclassification of forest or mineral
lands to agricultural lands shall be undertaken after the approval of
this Act until Congress, taking into account ecological,
developmental and equity considerations, shall have determined by
law, the specific limits of the public domain.
-

(b) All lands of the public domain in excess of the specific limits as
determined by Congress in the preceding paragraph;

(c) All other lands owned by the Government devoted to or suitable

for agriculture; and

(d) All private lands devoted to or suitable for agriculture regardless

of the agricultural products raised or that can be raised thereon.

8. Retention Limits
- SECTION 6. Retention Limits. Except as otherwise provided in this
Act, no person may own or retain, directly or indirectly, any public
or private agricultural land, the size of which shall vary according to
factors governing a viable family-size farm, such as commodity
produced, terrain, infrastructure, and soil fertility as determined by
the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council (PARC) created hereunder,
but in no case shall retention by the landowner exceed five (5)
hectares.
-

Three (3) hectares may be awarded to each child of the landowner,

subject to the following qualifications: (1) that he is at least fifteen
(15) years of age; and (2) that he is actually tilling the land or
directly managing the farm: Provided, That landowners whose lands
have been covered by Presidential Decree No. 27 shall be allowed
to keep the areas originally retained by them thereunder: Provided,
further, That original homestead grantees or their direct
compulsory heirs who still own the original homestead at the time
of the approval of this Act shall retain the same areas as long as
they continue to cultivate said homestead.

The right to choose the area to be retained, which shall be compact

or contiguous, shall pertain to the landowner: Provided, however,
That in case the area selected for retention by the landowner is
tenanted, the tenant shall have the option to choose whether to
remain therein or be a beneficiary in the same or another
agricultural land with similar or comparable features. In case the
tenant chooses to remain in the retained area, he shall be
considered a leaseholder and shall lose his right to be a beneficiary
under this Act. In case the tenant chooses to be a beneficiary in
another agricultural land, he loses his right as a leaseholder to the
land retained by the landowner. The tenant must exercise this
option within a period of one (1) year from the time the landowner
manifests his choice of the area for retention. In all cases, the
security of tenure of the farmers or farmworkers on the land prior to
the approval of this Act shall be respected.

Upon the effectivity of this Act, any sale, disposition, lease,

management, contract or transfer of possession of private lands
executed by the original landowner in violation of the Act shall be
null and void: Provided, however, That those executed prior to this
Act shall be valid only when registered with the Register of Deeds
within a period of three (3) months after the effectivity of this Act.
Thereafter, all Registers of Deeds shall inform the Department of
Agrarian Reform (DAR) within thirty (30) days of any transaction
involving agricultural lands in excess of five (5) hectares.

9. Important Contribution to Agrarian Reforms of each President

- At the end of the 20th century, the population of the Philippines
increased rapidly to 75.32 million in a country of 297,410 square

kilometers, with an average family size of six, making the

Philippines known for high population density. In addition to this,
with a population growth of 2.02 per year, the Philippine population
is expected to double in the span of 25 years. 60 percent of the
Philippine population is rural, and over 12 million Filipinos make a
living directly from agricultural cultivation. Around 9.5 million
hectares of land across the Philippines are used to plan various
crops. In terms of landlessness, the number of landless agricultural
families rose up from 5 million to 11.32 million families. Out of
these 11.32 families, 4.6 million make a living from lands they dont
own. 0.70 million are rented, 2 million are laborers, while 1.9 million
are farming as tenants.[12]

Land reform under Aquino administration (19861992)[edit]

During the start of President Corazon Aquinos term on 1986, the
Constitutional Commission approved Section 21 under Article II,
which states that The State shall promote comprehensive rural
development and agrarian reform. This led to the drafting of CARP,
which took the Congress a year to make. On June 10, 1988,
Republic Act No. 6657, also known as the Comprehensive Agrarian
Reform Law (CARL), was passed to promote social justice and
industrialization. Although it was still a product of adherence to
democratic principles, this law was found to have many flaws.
Because of much dissatisfaction with the agrarian reform law,
proposals from peasant groups and non-government organizations
grew in order to implement an alternative program that was more
advantageous to them. However, this did not succeed.

CARP recognizes not only farmers but all landless workers as

beneficiaries with the condition that they cultivate the land. The
two main departments in charge of this program are Department of
Agrarian Reform (DAR) and Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR). Aside from the land distribution, it also provides
the delivery of support services and security to the farmers.

Under the Aquino administration, a total of 898,420 landless

tenants and farmers became recipients of land titles and support
services. Even with this, it can be considered unsuccessful because
it only accomplished 22.5 percent of land distribution in 6 years.
This was due to the fact that Aquino assigned 4 different DAR
secretaries. The major setback for CARP was Aquinos Hacienda
Luisitas Stock Distribution Option, which says that she was the first
landlord to evade CARP on a grand scale.

Land reform under Ramos administration (19921998)[edit]

The policies on agrarian reform under the Ramos administration
focused on accelerating the direct land transfer and non-land
transfer through adopting more rational, fair and inexpensive
settlements. It encouraged landowners to invest in rural-based
industries that are connected to agriculture. It made an amendment
to Section 63 of CARL to increase the fund of this project to 100
billion. Salaries of workers and members of DAR board were
increased to motivate them for more successful results as well.

The target land to be given to farmer beneficiaries under this

Administration was 3.4 million hectares, 4.7 million or 60 percent of

which was successfully distributed. It achieved more than double

the output of the Aquino administration. It focused on less
contentious landholdings and acquisition modes, where they chose
to work with autonomous NGOs and peasant organizations.
However, controversies were unavoidable as they encountered
landlords openly harassing peasants with guns and forcing them
out of the lands.
-

Land reform under Estrada administration (19982001)[edit]

This administration focused on fast tracking land acquisition and
distribution. It wanted to reduce uncertainties in land market in
rural places to help farmers efficiency and private investment to
grow. It encouraged joint ventures, corporative, contact farming and
other marketing arrangements to protect the status of stakeholders
and promotion of agri-industrialization. They also improved the
databases of the implementing agencies of DAR and DENR to fully
record and update the lands covered. Estrada highlighted that there
was a need to conceptualize new approaches in doing things to
build a new social agreement where producers, government and
private sectors work with a common goal.

The program encountered some problems such as strong

landowners' resistance. Tenants also complained on the limited
amount of fund allocation provided by the government for the
project. It aimed to complete 7.8 million hectares by 2004. Since
President Estrada lasted only 2.5 years as president, the total
beneficiaries of CARP was only 0.18 million or 10 percent.[13]

Unsuccessful after 26 years[edit]

On June 30, 2014, CARP officially ended with 664 farmers killed in
the name of land reform. In the four years of the Noynoy Aquino
administration, 96 farmers have been killed as as opposed to the 9
that were killed during the Arroyo administration. 568 of these were
victims of extra-judicial killings. KMP chairman Rafael Mariano said,
Farmers asserting their rights to the land were subjected to human
rights abuses while peasant leaders were rendered as criminals,
incarcerated and, worse, were massacred.[this quote needs a
citation]

CARP expired when the Congress did not approve Aquinos proposal
to extend it for two more years. DAR has indicated 494,945 law
implementation cases since the start of the program, all of which
led back to how CARP failed over the years and how it affected the
lives of many innocent tenants and farmers.[14]
10.Most comprehensive reform
- Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms,
known also as CALPER or CARPer, (Republic Act 9700)[15] is the
amendatory law that extends again the deadline of distributing
agricultural lands to farmers for five years. It also amends other
provisions stated in CARP.
- In December 2008, the budget for CARP expired and there
remained 1.2 million hectares of agricultural land waiting to be
acquired and distributed to farmers. CARPER was signed into law on
August 7, 2009 by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and was set to expire in
June 30, 2014.[16] However the program of distributing lands to

farmer-beneficiaries continued even after June 2014. Section 30 of

RA 9700 or CARPER law states that cases on the matter which are
still pending shall be allowed to proceed to its finality and be
executed even beyond such date.

Government Service Insurance System gives and supports amazing
benefits to all government employees and members including
insurance, retirement, pension, loans, scholarship and many more.
- Im sharing here the complete benefits GSIS offers to its members. I
dont know if they have been discussed to you when you became a
member or a beneficiary of the GSIS but Im sure you will love to
know your benefits.
- Types of GSIS Members:
- Active Members government employees at present who are
working in any government agency or government office
- Old Age Pensioners these are retired government employees or
officials who are already receiving pension from GSIS
- Survivorship Pensioners these are beneficiaries or dependents of
deceased GSIS member or old age pensioner (example: spouse of a
deceased pensioner or member, minor child of the deceased)
- gsis benefits in the philippines
- Updated List of GSIS Benefits in the Philippines
- GSIS Insurance Benefits:
- As a member of GSIS maybe youre wondering what are those stuff
such as policy and insurance coverage. There is a reason why you
are paying premiums, its because you are paying for insurance.
With insurance, you or your eligible beneficiaries will be getting
benefits. The following are the main types of life insurance benefits
you will get from the GSIS:
- Enhanced Life Policy (ELP) is an enhanced life insurance coverage
that gives death benefits to the members family or beneficiaries
and cash in the form of termination value which you can withdraw
upon retirement or separation of service. In a nutshell, with ELP
youll get Cash Termination Value + death benefits + policy loan +
dividends if any. If you entered the government service after July

31, 2003, you are automatically covered with this policy. Members
with the old policy called LEP (see below) can also opt for ELP
according to GSIS.
Life Endowment Policy (LEP) this is known as the old insurance
policy offered to members who entered the government service
before August 1, 2003. This insurance policy will give maturity
benefit + cash surrender value + death benefit + policy loan +
dividends if any. If you are under LEP, you can also convert your
policy into ELP according to GSIS approval.
GSIS Retirement Benefits:
Maybe youre wondering too why you are being deducted every
month for your GSIS. It is like investing every month. Your GSIS
contributions will accumulate and appreciate in value that is why
you are receiving dividends when the board made them available
depending on the revenue the whole GSIS has earned. You will also
be entitled to retirement or pension benefits in the future. The
following are the types of retirement plans offered to GSIS
members:
Retirement under RA 8291 (5 year lump sum cash payment or
instant pension + monthly pension for life) this is the most
common type of retirement plan and pension chosen by many
government retirees in the Philippines because you will get a lump
sum amount of money and monthly pension for life. It has 2 options
when you avail. To qualify for this retirement plan, you must have
rendered at least 15 years of service and must be at least 60 years
old upon retirement. Your last 3 years of service must also be
continuous.
Retirement under RA 660 a.k.a. Magic 87 (annuity + lifetime
pension) if your age + years of service = 87, then you can avail of
this retirement plan. It offers 3 options: automatic pension, initial 3year lump sum and 5-year lump sum.
Retirement under RA 1616 (refund all your GSIS premiums +
gratuity payment from employer) under this option, you must
have rendered at least 20 years of service regardless of age and
employment status
Portability Law RA 7699 (Combine your GSIS + SSS CYS) you have
the option to combine both your GSIS and SSS creditable years of
service to qualify for retirement programs offered by both pension
funds
Retirement under Presidential Decree 1146 (Basic monthly Pension
or Cash Payment) this retirement plan is for those who have been
working in the government after May 31, 1977 but before June 24,
1997. You have the option if you want to receive pension every
month and cash payment.
GSIS Survivorship Benefits:
These are cash and/or pension benefits provided for the surviving
legal spouse (as long as he/she doesnt remarry), dependent minor
children, or incapacitated beneficiary, when a member or a
pensioner dies.
GSIS Loans Benefits:
Members of the GSIS also have available loans benefits. However,
loans are still loans so I dont suggest anyone to avail them unless

they really need it badly. Loans bear interests payables. Focus on

income bearing investments, not loans.
-

Consolidated Loan is also known as Conso-Loan. It is a

consolidation of 5 loans into 1 Salary Loan, Restructured Salary
Loan, Enhanced Salary Loan, Emergency Loan Assistance, and
Summer One-month Salary Loan. This type of loan is payable in 6
years. It is so easy to apply for this loan, just place your GSIS eCard
Plus in the G-W@ps Kiosk and follow through the screen. How much
can you avail in this loan? It depends upon your RCS (Record of
creditable Service). Check out the data below:
gsis conso loan
Policy Loan since every member in the GSIS is covered with life
insurance policy automatically, you also have this policy loan
benefit. You can apply for this loan if you have been insured at least
one year provided you have updated premium payments and has
an active policy. Whats the catch? It bears compounded 8%
interest per annum.
Emergency Loan this kind of loan is so special because not
everyone can avail of this. You have to be a resident of a declared
calamity area before you can avail emergency loan. Your place must
be declared under State of Calamity by the city council and
approved by the GSIS Board of Trustees.
GSIS Burial Benefit:
Burial benefits are funeral benefits given to GSIS retirees survivors
or any person who shouldered the funeral expenses of the
deceased GSIS member.
GSIS Disability Benefits:
These are benefits resulting from disability or incapacity to work
because of physical or mental injury, impairment or disease. GSIS
assigns medical evaluator for members who avail disability
benefits.
GSIS EC Benefits:
It is also known as Employees Compensation benefit. It is another
disability benefit provided for public and private sector workers and
their dependents in the event of work-related injury, sickness,
disability or death.
Housing:

Their acquired assets are available for cash basis and as is where
is policy for interested members

General Insurance:

GSIS also offers very cheap insurance products such as personal

accident insurance coverage, fire, comprehensive insurance for
vehicles, and other traditional insurance products like aviation,
bonds, property floater, marine cargo and marine haul.

GSIS Scholarship:

The Government Service Insurance System also offers scholarship

program every academic year for children of low-income GSIS
members. The selected qualified scholars will receive up to P
200,000 tuition and miscellaneous fees per semester plus monthly
allowance of P2000.

There you have them folks. I hope you have learned about your
benefits and I hope youre happy about them. I give my cheers and
kudos to all government employees for their terrific service! You
deserve all the best in the world.

Note: If you have personal queries about your GSIS account, please
