Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu. -
Agrarian Reform and the Difficult Road to Peace in the Philippine Countryside
Report December 2015 Agrarian reform and the difficult road to peace in the Philippine countryside By Danilo T. Carranza Executive summary Agrarian reform and conflict in the rural areas of the Philippines are closely intertwined. The weak government implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, inherent loopholes in the law, strong landowner resistance, weak farmers’ organisations, and the continuing espousal by the New People’s Army of its own agrarian revolution combine to make the government’s agrarian reform programme only partially successful in breaking up land monopolies. This is why poverty is still pronounced in many rural areas. The rise of an agrarian reform movement has significantly contributed to the partial success of the government’s agrarian reform programme. But the government has not been able to tap the full potential of this movement to push for faster and more meaningful agrarian reform. The agrarian reform dynamics between pro- and anti-agrarian reform actors create social tensions that often lead to violence, of which land-rights claimants are often the victims. This is exacerbated and in many ways encouraged by the government’s failure to fulfil its obligation to protect the basic human rights of land-rights claimants. This report outlines the pace and direction of agrarian reform in the Philippines and its role in fighting poverty and promoting peace in rural areas. It emphasises the importance of reform-oriented peasant movements and more effective government implementation to the success of agrarian reform. The report also asserts the need for the government and the armed left to respect human rights and international humanitarian law in promoting the full participation of land-rights claimants in shaping and crafting public policy around land rights. -

Ratio: Official Land Redistribution Data in Search of Corroborating Evidence
Munich Personal RePEc Archive ‘Farm holding redistribution’ ratio: Official land redistribution data in search of corroborating evidence Dy, Kenneth Academia Sinica – Institute of Economics 8 July 2021 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/109029/ MPRA Paper No. 109029, posted 04 Aug 2021 03:17 UTC ‘Farm holding redistribution’ ratio: Official land redistribution data in search of corroborating evidence Dy, Kenneth Bicol aAcademia Sinica – Institute of Economics Abstract The accomplishments of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) have been criticised for inaccurately portraying the land redistribution in the Philippines. Evidence has largely been anecdotal in nature. Examining the breakdown of the accomplishments as to region and type may reveal several important findings that aggregate accomplishment numbers conceal. But cross-validating official redistribu- tion results with data from a different government agency offers an even more unique way to prove or disprove the claims of agrarian reform authorities. This study com- plements earlier investigative studies by examining whether the decennial Census of Agriculture and Fisheries can offer corroboratory or contradictory evidence to pub- lished accomplishments. A ‘farm holding redistribution’ ratio and ‘land use change’ ratio were computed for this purpose, and analysed together with regional average farm size, farm holding Gini, tenure arrangements across time. Furthermore, it looks at the change in farmland distribution before and during the CARP implementation. After scrutinising the official accomplishments and CAF data, the findings reveal that indeed, CARP accomplishments failed to translate into landownership for small farm operators. However, there is a dim reflection of achieving its stated goals in regions that implemented more compulsory acquisition and in continuing past programs prior to the enactment of CARP. -

Philippine Governance: Merging Politics and Crime
PRIF-Reports No. 93 Philippine Governance: Merging Politics and Crime Peter Kreuzer I would like to thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for the generous grant provided for the project “Genesis, Structure and Workings of Coercive Systems of Social Control”. Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2009 Correspondence to: PRIF Baseler Straße 27-31 60329 Frankfurt am Main Germany Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-Mail: [email protected] Internet: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-942532-03-7 Euro 10.- Summary The Philippines are a “gambling republic” in which politicians hold “power without virtue”, dominating by means of “capital, coercion and crime”. Individual power holders are “bosses”, acting in a “mafia-style” and employing “guns, goons and gold” in order to gain, uphold or enhance their power positions. Whereas the politicians at times make use of vigilantes, private armies, death squads and hired contract-killers, the state itself resorts to “state terror” to counter the leftist threat posed by the Communist New People’s Army and its various offshoots, as a sideline killing hundreds of people in extralegal executions. Local power remains “in the family”, and national power is diffused in an “anarchy of families”. All of these characterizations of Philippine politics put in quotation marks are taken out of scientific books, articles and statements of Philippine state officials and politicians. While Philippine politics certainly is much more than captured in these characterizations, this report takes them as a starting point to analyze Philippine politics as if it was crime, or as “criminalized governance” (Briscoe 2008: 4), arguing that criminal activities do not only connect to politics in an erratic and unsystematic way, but seem to be a durable and integral part of politics from the local to the national levels. -
