 Follow the link to download the official letter from the bishops on the Second National Rural Congress: "Pastoral Reflection on CARP Extension with Reforms and Agrarian Reform Program Implementation."
"As Catholic bishops, pastors, and teachers, we listened to the voices of the rural poor and civil society organizations (CSOs) working with them and, as we sat in dialogue with legislators, we sought to address CARP and Agrarian Reform through the lens of our faith, because so much is at stake in moral and human terms. For many of our citizens, farming is a way of life, not just another business or industry. Agriculture is the way our farmers and rural workers provide a decent life for their families, acquire dignity and help feed a hungry world. Providing food for all is a Gospel imperative, not just another policy choice or economic activity."

The launch of the Phildhrra backed Philippine Asset Reform Report Card was a great success.
In his column for the Inquirer, Dr. Cielito Habito writes about the project in greater detail, "No Free Lunch - Pushing equity."
The overall report card generally showed that asset reform processes have been woefully slow, participatory and management mechanisms highly inadequate, support services deficient, and threats of reversal persistent. Taken together, our asset reform performance after 20 years of CARP, 16 years of Udha, 11 years of Ipra and 10 years of the Fisheries Code merited a rating of "poor."
Both Dr. Habito and Phildhrra's National Coordinator Jesus Garganera were interviewed by ABS-CBN. You can read the interview here.
