The registered landowner (Norberto Quisumbing, Sr. Management and Development Corporation or NQS- RMDC) opposed the government move of putting the land under the agrarian reform program from the very beginning. With a series of legal actions, NQSRMDC was able to suspend the actual distribution of the land to the Sumila... |
The municipal and provincial governments, on the other hand, approved in 1993 the conversion of the status of the land from agricultural to agro-industrial. Within the same year, NQSRMDC applied for the permission to convert the use of land into agro-industrial purpose, and thus exempt it from the agrarian reform progr... |
But the Philippine Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) denied in 1994 the land conversion application on the ground that agrarian rules do not allow such conversion of prime agricultural land.[1] The land title of NQSRMDC was cancelled and DAR awarded to the Sumilao farmers their certificates of land ownership in 1995.... |
In response, the Sumilao farmers went into a hunger strike for twenty-eight days in 1997 in front of the DAR offices in the cities of Quezon and Cagayan de Oro. Their peaceful protest caught the interest of the public, including national personalities such as a Cardinal of the Catholic Church (Jaime Sin), and the then ... |
Due to huge public pressure, then President Fidel V. Ramos overturned the "Torres Decision" and issued the so-called "Win-win Resolution" by providing for one hundred hectares of the land to the Sumilao farmers and forty-four hectares to NQSRMDC. It was a pleasant victory for the Sumilao farmers and the whole peasant s... |
NQSRMDC filed a petition against it before the Supreme Court. MAPALAD, representing the farmer-beneficiaries, filed an intervention to raise novel questions such as the validity of conversion of a prime agricultural land for other purposes, the power of local governments to reclassify lands in relation to DAR's authori... |
Unexpectedly, the Supreme Court decided against the Sumilao farmers. It refused to answer the constitution- al issues and focused its decision on DAR's failure to question the "Torres Resolution" on time.[2] It thus skirted the substantial issues of the case and limited its attention to technical questions. The "Torres... |
Idle land and endless appeals |
Several years passed and the land remained idle. Not one of the proposed projects of NQSRMDC ever materialized. The "promises" of economic vitality, employment and increased income remained promises. NQSRMDC sold the land instead in 2002 to San Miguel Foods, Inc. (SMFI), the biggest conglomerate in the country, which p... |
Meanwhile, in 2003, the adjacent Carlos estate was distributed to some of the Sumilao farmers under the agrarian reform program with the full agreement of the registered landowner, the Carlos family. The farmers received their land ownership certificates. |
With the conditions for land conversion remaining unfulfilled in violation of rules,[3] the Sumilao farmers filed a petition in 2004 to cancel the conversion order, and to award the land to them. They also argued that the planned piggery farm was not one of the agro- industries proposed by NQSRMDC in its land conversio... |
The Sumilao farmers appealed to the Office of the President to reverse the DAR decision. On 18 December 2007, the Office of the President issued an order granting the petition to cancel the land conversion order.[4] Now a new process of legally distributing the land to the Sumilao farmers has to begin. |
Ending of funding for CARP |
The agrarian reform program continues until its "original scope and mandate" has been completed.[5] But by 2008, the law that allotted funds for its implementation will expire.[6] Without a new law providing the funds, the implementation of the program will virtually stop. In this case, while private agricultural lands... |
But there is much to be done under the agrarian reform program. One report states the following unfinished tasks under the program:[7] |
According to DAR estimates, there will still be some 1,077,538 hectares of private agricultural lands and 581,813 hectares of public alienable and disposable lands that will still have to be distributed after 2008. These do not include the areas also still to be covered under leasehold and the differential between the ... |
The DAR also estimates that there will still be some 132,620 agrarian cases pending after 2008. |
The recent moves of the government under President Gloria M. Arroyo and the Philippine legislature (House of Representatives) indicate that the implementation of CARP may come to a halt. The lumping of agrarian reform with other "asset reform programs" of the government such as on urban land and ancestral domain instea... |
No clear land use policy |
Massive land conversions all over the country led to establishment of industrial zones and residential areas on agricultural lands. Such land conversions pose a serious problem in light of growing population, perennial problem of food security, and threat to the ecology. |
The absence of national land use policy complemented by inconsistent land reform policies, inefficient land administration bureaucracy, a highly politicized land tax system, and inefficient agrarian reform and housing development programs affect the efficiency of land markets, and thus the country's economic growth pot... |
The future of the Sumilao farmers |
The Sumilao farmers were robbed of their ancestral land through the current system of land ownership. They tried various ways to recover it. They suffered forced eviction, violent actions by the police, and harassment by security staff of the landowners. Some of them died in the process. |
They marched during October-December 2007 period from Mindanao to Manila (1,700 kilometer distance) to make their plea to the government once more. They demanded that their right to land be respected. The government finally cancelled its own decision allowing the conversion of their land for agro-industrial purpose. Bu... |
The one-hundred-forty-four-hectare ancestral land in Sumilao remains fertile. Its rich soil awaits cultivation. Mt. Sayawan and Mt. Palaopao still protect the land from unwanted weather conditions and the Culaman river runs through the land providing water. The Sumilao farmers may finally return to their ancestral land... |

Now I need to work on making it all stick to my mind. That is how I will know that I understand it all.

I do not want my knowledge to be rickety and full of holes only vaguely recognizing that concepts exist… I want to be solid and have a clear and thorough understanding of everything that I am learning. I want to establish a habit of learning, understanding, and remembering everything that I study. |
It gives me hope to know that one day this will be my warm-up and that I will evolve from where I am right now as long as I keep going and never give up. |

Apple Watch 7 killer feature just leaked — and it's a game-changer |
By Imad Khan 11 December 2020 |
New patent could bring blood pressure monitoring to the Apple Watch 7 |
In a patent filing recently won by Apple, it gives the company a huge leg up in health tracking with built-in blood pressure monitoring. |
The patent, which was originally filed in 2015, looks to use pressure sensors to get tonometric, or tension, readings from a user's wrist to give a blood pressure readout. It's similar to the Tonopen's ophthalmologists use when checking eye pressure. |
The best smarwatches right now |
Apple Watch 6 review: How good is it? |
The patent also states that readings from pressure sensors would be adjusted using one or more "correction factors," such as "wrist circumference, target artery depth, and/or tissue density or hydration." |
Per images found by Patently Apple, it demonstrates how the technology would work. |
The patent filing shows sensors in the band itself, with an actuator, ultrasound transducer and a "plurality of sensors" underneath the wrist . |
A big potential win for Apple Watch 7 |
This is a major win for Apple, as it continues to dominate the smartwatch space. The Cupertino-based company currently has the largest share of the smartwatch market at 36.3%. It's actually a 13% decline from 2019 thanks to increased competition from Huawei and Samsung. |
Apple isn't the first company to pursue blood pressure monitoring on a watch. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 has blood pressure monitoring that needs to be calibrated alongside an actual blood pressure monitor. But because of a lack of approval from the FDA, the feature is inactive in the United States. |
Per a demonstration from YouTuber TechProz, he finds that the Galaxy Watch 3 is relatively accurate, but recommends it should only be used as a reference, and to not take medication solely on its readings. |
If the Apple Watch Series 7 does include blood pressure monitoring, along with the current blood oxygen monitoring found in the Series 6, it would make the upcoming device greatly more advanced than its Android Wear counterparts. And with Google all but abandoning Android Wear -- with the company removing weight traini... |
Do note that companies file patents all the time. And just because Apple has won a particular patent doesn't mean it would lead to a quick public release. Apple could still face other testing or regulatory hurdles before a technology like this ever makes it to your local Best Buy.<eot>Are Muslim Relationships Really Pr... |
