This paper is to consider prospects of the agrarian reform program under the post-authoritarian ‘democratic’ regime of the Philippines. I will show that the weak state, lacking adequate bureaucratic machineries as well as autonomy from landed elite class and clans, cannot implement genuine agrarain reform “from the above”. However, I also pursue the possibility that farmer-beneficiaries of the agrarian reform program, who are empowered by non-government organizations and people's organizations, will develop into self-reliant organizations.
