Contrary to the demand for land reform, the Aquino regime as well as all the previous regimes have allowed big landlords, real estate companies, foreign mining companies, plantations and big agribusiness corporations and their local partners to dominate and take control of vast tracts of land. So-called farmer beneficiaries of agrarian reform ultimately lose control of their land either as a result of failure to maintain the burdensome amortization payments and widespread land-use conversion to real-estate and commercial projects.
Taliwas sa iginigiit na reporma sa lupa, pinahintulutan ng rehimeng Aquino, maging ng lahat ng nakaraang mga rehimen ang malalaking panginoong maylupa, mga kumpanya sa real estate, mga dayuhang kumpanya sa pagmimina, plantasyon at malalaking korporasyong agribisnes at mga lokal na katuwang nila na dominahan at kontrolin ang malalaking tipak ng lupain.
