INTRODUCTIONThe Agricultural Land Reform Code is a revo-lutionary piece of legislation that responds to theimperatives of social justice. The record of delib-erations over it is more than usually lengthy. Thepassages selected are brief in comparison; but theymay help to give some indication of the climate ofsocial opinion as it manifested itself in the Senatedebate in 1963.The first selection, which is the sponsorship speechdelivered by Senator Manglapus, gives a generaldescription and initial justification of the contentsof the bill. This is followed by three selectionswhich record the debate on the essential features ofthe bill - the abolition of share tenancy, the expro-priation of land, and the compensation for land expro-priated. The last selection, on the feasibility of theland reform program, may soon be rendered aca-demic by events; but it has been included for whatit can add to the portrayal of a social question.+ + + + + +Appointment with HistoryMR. PRESIDENT: I rise this morning to keep an ap-pointment with history.Most of us here, Mr. President, have had in early days anacademic brushing with the subject of land reform.I myself recall an evening in 1939 when I participated inan oratorical contest presided over by the distinguished gentle-man from Quezon, who was then the president of the CivilLiberties Union. The title of my speech was "Land of Bondage,Land of the Free," and making up for youthful naivete withthe consuming fire that is only to be seen in collegiate oratory,I indicated a social and economic system which kept the tao para-doxically in bondage in a land of constitutionally free men.I remember that I was privileged to hear two great Fili-pinos express approval of my impertinent demand that the tillerbe given the opportunity to acquire the land which he and hisancestors centuries before him had worked with their hands.One was the chairman himself, a distinguished constitutionallawyer by the name of Lorenzo M. Tahada; the other was theguest of honor - President Manuel L. Quezon.At about the same time, in another part of the world, therewas one nation that , was undergoing the procedure of land re-form. Let me read to you what one account has to say aboutthat social revolution:"On the other hand, in certain areas, mainly in the South,much of the land was concentrated in large estates where thefield work was done by excessively ill-paid workers. A typicalestate would have a large number of "sharecroppers" who re-ceived a share of the crop in place of wages. The owner alsooperated a'store where the sharecroppers had to buy their foodand other supplies, and where they were usually deep in debt.Interest charged on these debts were high. The worker's shareof the crop went to the store in payment for his debts, andusually failed to clear it all."The sharecropping and the farm-tenancy systems wereclosely similar in their effects to those commonly found in manydeveloping countries throughout the world. Largely becauseof the widespread poverty of the mass of the farm population,and the unproductive luxury of the land-owning class, the south-eastern region of the country was underdeveloped in 1933.People called the region the nation's number one economic prob-lem, and many different development programs were launchedafter 1933 to cure this condition."Land reform was one of the chief instruments of modern-ization. Through a 'Farm Security Administration' the gov-ernment bought large tracts of land, divided them into family-sized farms, and sold the farms to the sharecroppers and tenantfarmers on easy terms of payment."Not all the troubles of that region have been cured, butby 1945, it was clearly no longer underdeveloped. It had takenoff into the modern world."(Modernization in the U. S. A. by David Cushman Coyle)Which country was this, Mr. President? Destitute, sprawl-ing (MORE INSIDE)

Raul S. Manglapus was born in Manila. He completed his Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude. at the Ateneo de Manila in 1939 and pursued his study of law at the University of Santo Tomas, Manila and at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. From 1948 to 1954 he was Professor of Constitutional Law at the College of Law of the Ateneo de Manila. Manglapus served in the Cabinet in 1954 as Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, and later in 1957, as Secretary of Foreign Affairs. In 1961 he was elected Senator of the Philippines with the highest number of votes. His term of office ends in 1967, after which he will devote his time to the Christian Social Movement, to the practice of law and to his civic activities and speaking engagements in the Philippines and abroad. He has authored several books and his speeches have been anthologized. This publication gives insight to the brilliant years of his service to the Philippine government. Over the past two decades, a great social revolution has been sweeping through Asia. First stirred by the ideas and techniques, the philosophy and technology, the systems of government and material goods brought by Western colonizers, and then spurred on by the retreat of the colonizers after the war, the revolution has often taken on violent forms, sweeping away both the colonial masters and the traditional leadership, upsetting the old order, but not yet quite adjusted to the new. Indeed in many cases not yet Land of Bondage - Land of the Free Raul S. Manglapus 236 having devised a new political and social order to replace the old. In most countries of Asia, the revolution overthrew both colonial master and traditional leader in one blow. In the Philippines, however, the transfer of power from the United States to the traditional landowning elite was gradual and orderly. The sharp thrust of revolution was thus blunted, and the traditional elite remains in power to this day, heating down sporadic outbursts of armed rebellion. In most countries of Asia, the revolution overthrew both colonial master and traditional leader in one blow. In the Philippines, however, the transfer of power from the United States to the traditional landowning elite was gradual and orderly. The sharp thrust of revolution was thus blunted, and the traditional elite remains in power to this day, beating down sporadic outbursts of armed rebellion. But in recent years a quiet revolution has been taking shape in the Philippines intended to diffuse political and economic power among the masses. Uniquely in Asia, this revolution is being carried out through the regular democratic institutions. How this is being done can be seen clearly in the pages of this book, in which are reproduced the significant portions of the proceedings in the Philippine Senate on three revolutionary measures meant to redistribute power, currently in the hands of the elite few, among the long-dispossessed many. These measures would institute land reform, strengthen provincial and city governments and restore a degree of self-government to the Philippine village. All of them were sponsored by Senator Raul S. Manglapus, one of the leaders - and indisputably the most eloquent spokesman - of new Philippine challenge to the rule of its old oligarchy.
