Unfinished business
Article Abstract:
Land reform remains a continuing dilemma in the Philippines. The implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program under the Corazon Aquino administration proved to be more bureaucratic than community-based. The program itself was debilitated by the lack of local participation of intended beneficiaries, the absence of a national land use policy, the lack of political will and the recent onslaughts of natural disasters. The choice has not yet been made on whether to prioritize the restoration of democratic structures and further retard reform or to shift to 'undemocratic' implementation of the program.

He is reviewing a spending cut, a commission to study the deficits, a constitutional amendment to give him veto over single items in the appropriations bill, and an amendment forbidding an imbalanced budget.
