more truthful and factual? Defend your answers.

HOWEVER, a revolution against the Spanish Government must happen because it is
not right that the Spaniards will rule us forever. It is still injustice if we were still
governed and colonized by the Spanish Government. We deserve not to be
discriminated. Our country is our own land and we deserve to have independence.

Activity No. 02: Essay

Instruction: Answer the following exhaustively.

1. What are the issues concerning agrarian reform/policies in the

Philippines? Citeat least five.

-The redistribution of lands, regardless of crops or fruits produced,

to farmers and regular farmworkers who are landless, irrespective
of tenurial arrangement, to include the totality of factors and
support services designed to lift the economic status of the
beneficiaries and all other arrangements alternative to the
physical redistribution of lands, such as production or profit-
sharing, labor administration, and the distribution of shares of
stocks, which will allow beneficiaries to receive a just share of the
fruits of the lands they work.

2. What were the early issues on land ownership?

During the Pre-Spanish period, practically everyone had access to

the fruits of the soil and rice served as the medium of exchange. While
during the Spanish Era, the concept of encomienda (Royal Land Grants)
was introduced. This system grants that Encomienderos must defend
his encomienda from external attack, maintain peace and order within,
and support the missionaries. In turn, the encomiendero acquired the
right to collect tribute from the indios (native). The system, however,
degenerated into abuse of power by the encomienderos The tribute
 soon became land rents to a few powerful landlords. And the natives
who once cultivated the lands in freedom were transformed into mere
share tenants.

3. Which of the early agrarian laws are really beneficial to tenant

farmers?

REPUBLIC ACT No. 1199, August 30, 1954 known as the "Agricultural
Tenancy Act of the Philippines." It is the purpose of this Act to establish
agricultural tenancy relations between landholders and tenants upon the
principle of school justice; to afford adequate protection to the rights of both
tenants and landholders; to insure an equitable division of the produce and
income derived from the land; to provide tenant- farmers with incentives to
greater and more efficient agricultural production; to bolster their economic
position and to encourage their participation in the development of peaceful,
vigorous and democratic rural communities.

4. What do you think is the most significant agrarian law? Explain why.

I think the most significant agrarian law is the RA 6657 or ther know as
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law. This law is still the one being
implemented at present. And i think it is still effective up to now because of
its good purpose for it promotes social justice and industrialization
providing the mechanism for its implementation and for other purposes.

5. Is agrarian reform in the Philippines a failure? Why?

It maybe a failure if there were someone who suffered from the agrarian
reforms but it can also be a success for those who had benefited from it. But i
 think it is a total failure if majority of people suffered. All of this means that
distributing lands to the poor does not necessarily guarantee that their economic
conditions will improve without corollary services such as infrastructure and
access to credit to make the land productive, as well as social services,
specifically in the areas of health and education, which is failed to materialize
under CARP.

Activity No. 01: Essay

Instruction: Answer the following exhaustively.

1. What is the relevance of a Constitution in a country?

The structure is fundamental in a society since it serves as a rule on how one ought
to act in like manner. From the citizen’s right, obligations, to the government
official’s obligations, liabilities and government agency’s parts.
It makes concordance and arrange. Without it, everything’s a mess. Its serves as an
equalizer among individuals of any social status due to the truth that no one
is over the law. We are regarded to stand with the law in any case of the quality of
life that we have. Undoubtedly, the structure is imperative in keeping peace
and arrange inside a society. A bit like in schools, a approach “No ID No
Entry”is entirely executed for the understudies to
be dependable and taught people people and so in a nation. Rules and Republic acts
are being executed to serve as a guide to the citizens to recognize the
correct and off-base. Dura lex se lex “The law may be cruel but its still the law”as a
saying goes individuals don’t do what they need as long as there’s a law that rebuffs.

2. Do you think there is need to change the existing constitution?

I do not think that we have to be totally alter the current constitution.

I completely stand by the incomparable sway - individuals. The destiny of a
certain nation ought to be managed by the larger part of the citizens.
I moreover accept that the charge of rights provided are more
than sufficient to deliver significance to the proper of
the individuals. Gracious servant's parts and obligations are
clearly announced, spinning around people's welfare. However, there are a
few laws, which I think ought to still be subject for improvement.
 3. React: Does killing ex-soldier Winston Ragos an act of violation of Article
3 Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution? Why? (Refer to news last April 23, Shooting of
an ex-soldier due to violation of ECQ)

ARTICLE III. BILL OF RIGHTS. Section 1. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or
property without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal
protection of the laws.

Yes, it is violation to Article III Bill of Rights section 1. Ragos for several minutes was
raising his hands and facing to the pulis is like he is surrendering, and The act of
Ragos attempting to draw an alleged gun is not indication of intent to kill. The
moment that Ragos unsling his bag and draw it near to the pulis is acting like he
don’t have plan to shoot them. And it is not a self defense because the fact that the
number of pulis and the victim is not like he can harm the pulis.
