What is the focus of RA 6657?

The focus of Republic Act No. 6657, also known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law, is primarily on agrarian reform in the Philippines. This law was enacted to promote social justice and provide for the equitable distribution of land to landless farmers and farmworkers. It aims to alleviate poverty among rural populations and improve agricultural productivity by distributing public and private agricultural lands to those who till them.

The legislation establishes policies and mechanisms to ensure that land reform is effectively implemented, including provisions for the redistribution of land and the granting of rights to farmers. The goal is to provide security of tenure and improve the living conditions of rural residents by empowering them with ownership of land.

While the other options—overseas workers' welfare, labor rights, and seafarer protection—are significant areas of concern within the realm of labor and employment, they fall outside the scope of RA 6657. This law is specifically tailored to address issues related to agriculture and land reform rather than general labor or overseas employment topics.
