Bill to implement genuine land reform IMPLEMENT a genuine land reform program to address the four-decade old problem in the country, a lawmaker urged yesterday, adding the proposed Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB) would be a holistic approach to resolve the landlessness problem of poor Filipino farmers in the countryside. “The main goal of GARB is to distribute the agricultural lands to the farmers at no cost to the beneficiaries, Anakpawis Party list Rep. Ariel Casilao said. Casilao said GARB essentially propounds some of the more consequential social reforms that may help in the eventual resolution of the ongoing armed conflict in the country. According to Casilao, the continuing land monopoly and control of a few landlord families shows that the bogus CARP was not meant to break land monopoly and was instead implemented only to appease peasant unrest in the countryside, a classic counter-insurgency stratagem to create an illusion of land reform. Casilao said in more than four decades, the government’s agrarian reform has been marred with human rights violations against farmers who, in asserting their rights to the land, have endlessly been subjected to human rights abuses. Casilao said peasant leaders have been charged with trumped-up cases and condemned to languish in prison, adding that, “peasants have been killed, individually, or by way of infamous massacres as what had transpired in Escalante in Negros, Lumil in Silang, Cavite; Palo in Leyte; Mendiola, Hacienda Luisita, and, very recently, in Kidapawan.” Casilao said GARB will replace CARPER or the Comprehensive Agrarian See bill, page B3
