That was the problem that the current administration is trying to solve. As you can hear it in the news, duterte is trying to avoid western capitalization, which hopefully reverts the things that were done in the past.

This article is bullshit liberal media. Their solution is to hand over land to the farmers who by the articles own admission don’t know how to read or write. Then they complain big companies take over the land and make the people indentured servants. You don’t see the problem here?
The article is liberal propaganda, and everyone falls for it with upvotes. The problem here is everyone judges the life of a farmer from their perspective. Everyone here is like “omg these farmers look like they’re so poor and have flies all over their faces and eat insects. We have to do something. Oh get the government involved and give them land.”
These farmers are not as helpless as people perceive them to be, and the ones I’ve met have a pretty decent life, a life they chose by their own design. If anything this article degraded the very people they supposedly want to help in order to get more communist socialist programs.
