The arduous legal battle that tenant-farmers have to endure in order to be finally freed from the bondage of the soil is not unusual. Several agrarian cases can be viewed as a microcosm of the persistent agrarian reform problem in our country. Some tenants have to wait for several years to be emancipated from the bondage. But of course there are also tales of landowners who unduly suffer either the abuse of some farmers or the harsh consequences of agrarian law. We are still faced with the same agrarian problem that we sought to resolved several years back when the CARP law was first introduced. It is high time that we undertake a more realistic, rational comprehensive agrarian reform law. The solution lies with Congress.
