A Filipino farmer and land reform benefi

A Filipino farmer and land reform beneficiary Nelson Pabalate prepares to plow the field at the disputed farmland planted with rice and sugar in Santa Catalina town in Negros Oriental province in central Philippines on November 13, 2008 after the Department of Agrarian Reform installed the 30 landless farmers at the 61 hectare property, ending an 11- year legal battle against the powerful political clan of Teves family who owns vast tract of agricultural land in this sugar producing province. Despite the success in Santa Catalina the government land reform has made little headway in solving the Philippines' agrarian problem that has bred communist insurgency, critics said.
