Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program
During the start of President Corazon Aquino 's term in 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 .
