Property, Inheritance and Land Tenure
- EnglishThe State shall, by law, undertake an agrarian reform program founded on the right of farmers and regular farmworkers who are landless, to own directly or collectively the lands they till or, in the case of other farmworkers, to receive a just share of the fruits thereof. To this end, the State shall encourage and undertake the just distribution of all agricultural lands, subject to such priorities and reasonable retention limits as the Congress may prescribe, taking into account ecological, developmental, or equity considerations, and subject to the payment of just compensation. In determining retention limits, the State shall respect the right of small landowners. The State shall further provide incentives for voluntary land-sharing. (Art. XIII, Sec. 4)
- FilipinoDapat magsagawa ang Estado, sa pamamagitan ng batas, ng programa sa repormang pansakahan na nakasalig sa karapatan ng mga magsasaka at mga regular na manggagawa sa bukid, na mga walang lupa, na tuwiran o sama-samang magmay-ari ng mga lupang kanilang sinasaka o, sa kalagayan ng iba pang mga manggagawa sa bukid, tumanggap ng karampatang kaparte sa mga bunga niyon. Tungo sa layuning ito, dapat magpasigla at magsagawa ang Estado ng makatwirang pamamahagi ng lahat ng mga lupang pansakahan, na sasailalim sa mga priority at makatwirang mapapanatiling mga sukat na maaaring itakda ng Kongreso, na nagsasaalang-alang sa mga konsiderasyong pang-ekolohiya, pangkaunlaran, o pagkamatarungan, at batay sa pagbabayad ng makatwirang kabayaran. Dapat igalang ng Estado ang mga karapatan ng mga maliliit na may-ari ng lupa sa pagtatakda ng mga limitasyon sa retensyon. Dapat ding maglaan ang Estado ng mga insentibo para sa boluntaryong pagbabahagi ng lupa. (Art. XIII, Seksyon 4)
