CARP:
The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law was laid down in the year 1988, to protect the
agricultural workers in Philippines. The comprehensive agrarian reform law aimed at
helping the small and marginal farmers of Philippines by providing them easy access to
land and other necessary inputs.

Similarly, you may ask, what is the purpose of Comprehensive Agrarian Reform
Program?

It aims to aid the agrarian reform beneficiaries by providing them necessary support
services to make their lands more productive, and enable them to venture in income
generating livelihood projects in accordance to Section 14 of RA 9700(Section 37 of RA
6657 as amended) .

Furthermore, is Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Effective? The results show

that the comprehensive agrarian reform program has a positive impact on the lives of the
farmer beneficiaries. It has contributed to higher income and led to reduced poverty
incidence before and after the program.

Additionally, what is agrarian reform law in the Philippines?

Republic Act No. 6657, June 10, 1988 (Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law) – An act
which became effective June 15, 1988 and instituted a comprehensive agrarian reform
program to promote social justice and industrialization providing the mechanism for its
implementation and for other purposes.

What is agrarian reform policy?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Agrarian reform can refer either, narrowly, to
government-initiated or government-backed redistribution of agricultural land (see land
reform) or, broadly, to an overall redirection of the agrarian system of the country, which
often includes land reform measures.

The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, more commonly known as CARP, is an

agrarian reform law of the Philippines whose legal basis is the Republic Act No. 6657,[1]
otherwise known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL).[2] It is the
redistribution of private and public agricultural lands to help the beneficiaries survive as
small independent farmers, regardless of the “tenurial” arrangement. Its goals are to
provide landowners equality in terms of income and opportunities, empower land owner
beneficiaries to have equitable land ownership, enhance agricultural production and
productivity, provide employment to more agricultural workers, and put an end to
conflicts regarding land ownership.

Background:

The agrarian reform is part of the long history of attempts of land reform in the
Philippines.[3] The law was outlined by former President Corazon C. Aquino through
Presidential Proclamation 131 and Executive Order 229 on June 22, 1987,[4] and it was
enacted by the 8th Congress of the Philippines and signed by Aquino on June 10, 1988.
In 1998, which was the year that it was scheduled to be completed, the Congress
enacted Republic Act No. 8532 [5] to allocate additional funds for the program and
extending the automatic appropriation of ill-gotten wealth recovered by the Presidential
Commission on Good Government (PCGG) for CARP until the year 2008.[6]

An amendatory law, CARPER or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program

Extension with Reforms or the Republic Act. 9700 was passed. It extended the deadline
of distributing agricultural lands to the farmers for an additional five years. This law also
amends other provisions and regulations formerly stated in the CARP. It was signed into
law on August 7, 2009, and was set to be accomplished by the year 2014.

aquatic resources in Philippine waters including the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ); to
protect the rights of fisher folk, especially of the local communities with priority to

<ano ang daungan?>

<bakit ito mahalaga?>

Ang pundahan o punduhan ay isang lugar kung saan ang mga barko o yate ay
humihinto upang magpalipas ng oras o araw kung ang klima o panahon ay hindi
maganda. Sa ibang pagkakataon ito rin ay nagiging lugar kalakalan o bagsakan ng mga
lamang-dagat. Maari itong natural na pundahan o likha ng tao. Ang likhang taong
pundahan ay pinalilibutan ng mga "pader-dagat" at "pamigil-tubig", samantalang ang
natural na pundahan ay napalilibutan, kadalasan, ng mga lupain. Madalas na ipagkamali
ang pundahan sa piyer.

Tinatawag ding daungan o pantalan, ang pundahan ay isang lokasyon sa baybayin ng

dagat na nagpapadaung sa isa o higit pang mga sasakyang-dagat tulad ng barko at
nagpapasakay ng mga tao o mga karga patungo o galing sa lupa. Pinipili ang mga
lokasyon ng daungan para makapag-unlad ng transportasyon sa pagitan ng lupa at
karagatan, para sa mga pangkomersyong demanda, at para sa isang daungan na ligtas
sa mga malalakas na hangin at balon. May mga daungan na may malalalim ang lebel ng
tubig, subalit ang mga ito ay makapagdaung ng mas marami at malalaking barko. Sa
pagkalipas ng mga panahon, maraming daungan ang kumukontrol sa mga
pangkaragatang trapik, may mga pasilidad na dumadala ng mga karga, at pangunguna
sa kalakalang lokal. May ilan ring mga daungan na may kontribusyon sa pang-militar na
mga aktibidad.

"National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS)" is the classification and

administration of all designated protected areas to maintain essential ecological
processes and life-support systems, to preserve genetic diversity, to ensure
sustainable use of resources found therein, and to maintain their natural
conditions to the greatest extent possible;"

Following the 1987 Constitution, the National Integrated Protected Areas System
Act was enacted which further enhanced the administration and classification of
protected areas, and broadened the mandate of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources in enforcing its provisions.

This is a list of protected areas of the Philippines administered by the Department

of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)'s Biodiversity Management Bureau
under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992. As of
2013, there are 240 protected areas in the Philippines covering a total area of
54,500 square kilometers (21,000 sq mi) – 14.2% of the Philippines' total area.

SFM Objectives

The SFM aspires to ensure the sustainable use of forest resources to support the
country’s development by providing equitable access and benefit-sharing across
stakeholders.

Specifically, it seeks to:

Undertake sustainable forest management strategies;

Promote sustainable livelihood and incentive mechanism for forest management;
Strengthen institutional mechanisms to respond to forest management concerns;
Establish Forest Management Units (FMUs) that can be managed by indigenous and
local households, CSOs, business organizations, forest land tenure holders, national
and local government units; and
Strengthen the role of FMB as a responsive and proactive body.

<SFM STRATEGIES>

To attain such objectives, SFM adopts the following strategies:

Inclusive governance with local stakeholders adopting community-based forest

management approaches
Integrated landscape planning and development in watersheds
Forest rehabilitation by using native species to enhance ecosystem services
Develop a framework that is suitable for every watershed
Recognize biodiversity conservation
Promote forestry research, extension and education
Forest ecosystem services accounting and valuation
Strengthening professionalism in forest service
These strategies will be harmonized with efforts on economic boosting, global
competitiveness of forest-based solutions, and sustainable production of renewable
resources.

Community Livelihood Assistance Program (CLASP):

The Community Livelihood Assistance Special Program (CLASP) is a response of the

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to poverty reduction and
wealth creation in the Philippines. It specifically supports the call for the creation of 10
million jobs and development of two million hectares of agribusiness / agroforestry lands.
CLASP provides livelihood opportunities by serving as an information exchange and
coordinating center for facilitating access to available technologies, technical assistance
and funding for livelihood projects from the DENR, its local and foreign partners, private
companies and other organizations.
