Calambas Agrarian Trouble

Calamba Hacienda- one of friars estates which was owned by the Dominican Order since 1883. Dec. 30,1887 Civil Governor Of Laguna Province directed the municipal authorities of Calamba to investigate the agrarian conditions of their locality. The hacienda of the Dominican Order comprised not only the lands around Calamba, but also the town of Calamba. The profits of the Dominican order continually increased because of the arbitrary increase of the rentals paid by the tenants. The hacienda owner never contributed a single centavo for the celebration of the town fiesta, for the education of the children, and for the improvement of the agriculture. Tenants who had spent much labor in clearing the lands were dispossessed of said lands for flimsy reasons. High rates of interest were charged the tenants for delayed payment of rentals and when the rentals could not be paid, the hacienda management confiscated their carabaos, tools and homes.
