flag Philippine farmers lose land rights due to court rulings and corruption, threatening food security.

flag In the Philippines, farmers across multiple regions face threats to their right to food due to land disputes, government inaction, and alleged corruption. flag In 2004 and 2006, farmers in Sarangani, Negros Oriental, and Quezon were evicted or denied land they were entitled to under agrarian reform laws, despite relying on farming for survival. flag In Sariaya, a Supreme Court ruling invalidated land grants to 255 farmers, citing outdated zoning laws, undermining their livelihoods and national food security. flag International rights groups have urged the Philippine government to uphold farmers’ rights, ensure land distribution, and fulfill its human rights commitments.
