Diosdado Pangan Macapagal Sr.
(September 28, 1910 – April 21, 1997) was the ninth President of the
Philippines, serving from 1961 to 1965, and the sixth Vice-President, serving
from 1957 to 1961. He also served as a member of the House of
Representatives, and headed the Constitutional Convention of 1970. He was
the father of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who followed his path as President of
the Philippines from 2001 to 2010.
PROJECT MADE BY HIS ADMINISTRATION
I. Land Reform Program

To ameliorate the plight of the Filipino peasant in the face of vast
population growth, Macapagal instituted a public land clearance
program to make new farmlands available for immediate use. The
product of his concern for the impoverished majority was the Land
Reform Code of Aug. 8, 1963, which sought to replace the abusive
and unjust tenancy system inherited from colonial times by the
leasehold system, affording full government protection to the
leaseholder. He savored calling himself the "Poor boy from
Lubao". Ironically, he had little popularity among the masses. This could be attributed to an absence
any charismatic appeal owing to his stiff personality. But despite this, Macapagal had certain
achievements. Foremost of these was the Agricultural Land Reform Code of 1963 (Republic Act No.
3844) which provided for the purchase of private farmlands with the intention of distributing them in
small lots to the landless tenants on easy term of payment. It is a major development in history of land
reform in the Philippines, In comparison with the previous agrarian legislation, the law lowered the
retention limit to 75 hectares, whether owned by individuals or corporations. It removed the term
"contiguous" and established the leasehold system. The share-tenancy or the kasama system was
prohibited. It formulated a bill of rights that assured agricultural workers the right to self-organization
and to a minimum wage. It also created an office that acquired and distributed farmlands and a financing
institution for this purpose. The major flaw of this law was, however, that it had several exemptions,
such as ort (big capital plantations established during the Spanish and American periods); fishponds,
salt beds, and lands primarily planted to citrus, coconuts, cacao, coffee, durian, and other similar
permanent trees; landholdings converted to residential, commercial, industrial, or other similar non-
agricultural purposes. It was viewed that the 75-hectare retention limit was just too high for the growing
population density.
Moreover, this law merely allowed the transfer of the landlordism from one area to another. This was
because landlords were paid in bonds, which he could use to purchase agricultural lands. Likewise, the
farmer was free to choose to be excluded from the leasehold arrangements if he volunteered to give
up the landholdings to the landlord. Within two years after the law was implemented, no land was being
purchased under its term and conditions caused by the peasants' inability to purchase the
land. Besides, the government seemed lacking of strong political will, as shown by the Congress'
allotment of only one million Philippine pesos for the implementation of this code. At least
Php200 million was needed within a year from the enactment and implementation of the code, and
Php300 million in the next three years for the program to be successful. The positive result obtained in
1966 demonstrated the value of the land reform program in materially improving the local living
conditions of the rural poor.
However, by 1972, the code had benefited only 4,500 peasants covering 68 estates, at the cost of
Php57 million to the government. Consequently, by the 1970s, the farmers ended up tilling less land,
with their share in the farm also being less. They incurred more debts, depending on
the landlord, creditors, and palay buyers. Indeed, during the administration of Macapagal, the
productivity of the farmers further declined.
II. Foreign Policy

Macapagal's foreign policy displayed an eccentric course. On the one
hand, he affirmed that he would never recognize Communist China
despite what the United States or other nations might decide. On the other,
he criticized in May 1962 the United States support of Laos’s neutralists
as "a species of sophistry that can only weaken the defense of the free
world." In June 1962 Macapagal registered a claim of Philippine
sovereignty over British North Borneo (Sabah). In July he proposed the
establishment of a greater Malayan confederation which would supersede
the British-sponsored plan for the Federation of Malaysia. This would be
a step toward ultimate establishment of a Pan-Asian Union. Macapagal initiated the Manila Accord of
July 31, 1963, signed by himself, President Sukarno of Indonesia, and Abdul Rahman of Malaya; on
August 6 the three chiefs of state issued the Manila Declaration toward the establishment of Maphilindo,
designed to set up closer ties between the three countries in their collective fight against
neocolonialism. This plan broke up with the formation on Aug. 1, 1964, of the Federation of Malaysia
by the Malayan and British governments.
Although Macapagal prided himself in being the "conscience of the common man," he failed in
preventing his administration from being wrecked by the Stone hill scandal of 1962, which revealed
massive government corruption and racketeering that involved almost the whole bureaucracy and
Congress. Despite Macapagal's so-called incorruptibility, he failed to solve decisively the major social
and economic problems of the nation.
III. Socio-Economic Program

The removal of controls and the restoration of free enterprise was intended
to provide only the fundamental setting in which Macapagal could work out
economic and social progress. A specific and periodic program for the
guidance of both the private sector and the government was an essential
instrument to attain the economic and social development that constituted
the goal of his labors.
Such a program for his administration was formulated under his authority
and direction by a group of able and reputable economic and business
leaders the most active and effective of which was Sixto Roxas III. From
an examination of the planned targets and requirements of the Five-Year
program – formally known as the Five-Year Socio-Economic Integrated Development Program – it
could be seen that it aimed at the following objectives.
 immediate restoration of economic stability;
 alleviating the plight of the common man; and
 establishing a dynamic basic for future growth.
Free enterprise was restored with decontrol. The Five-Year Economic Program had been prescribed.
Land reform abolishing tenancy had been launched. These were essential foundations for economic
and social progress for the greatest number.
The essential foundations having been laid, attention must then be turned to the equally difficult task of
building the main edifice by implementing the economic program. Although the success of Macapagal's
Socio-Economic Program in free enterprise inherently depended on the private sector, it would be
helpful and necessary for the government to render active assistance in its implementation by the
citizens.
Such role of the government in free enterprise, in the view of Macapagal, required it (1) to provide the
social overhead like roads, airfields and ports that directly or proximately promote economic growth, (2)
to adopt fiscal and monetary policies salutary to investments, and most importantly (3) to serve as an
entrepreneur or promote of basic and key private industries, particularly those that require capital too
large for businessmen to put up by themselves. Among the enterprises he selected for active
government promotion were integrated steel, fertilizer, pulp, meat canning and tourism.
IV. Stonehill Scandal

The Stonehill scandal, named after American expatriate
businessman Harry Stonehill, was a 1962 bribery scandal in the Philippines
which implicated high level government officials, including
President Diosdado Macapagal, future President Ferdinand Marcos,
former President Carlos P. Garcia, and numerous other top Philippine
officials, who were accused of accepting bribes to protect Stonehill's $50-
million business empire.
The scandal erupted when Jose W. Diokno, who was serving as Justice Secretary under the Macapagal
administration at the time, raided the offices of 42 of Stonehill's business establishments on March 2,
1962 and arrested Stonehill along with a number of his associates. The raid resulted in the confiscation
of phone-tapping instruments, jamming devices, and other espionage equipment as well as six army
trucks worth of documents. Stonehill was accused of tax evasion, economic sabotage, and various
other charges, but among the documents were a letter from Stonehill addressed to Macapagal and a
"blue book" which listed money given to various government officials, including Macapagal, Garcia, and
Marcos
Macapagal ordered Stonehill to be deported in August 1962, which sparked outrage and accusations
of a coverup, notably from Diokno, whom Macapagal had prevented from pursuing the prosecution and
then sacked from the cabinet. Diokno, in lamenting Macapagal's order to deport Stonehill, said, "How
can the government now prosecute the corrupted when it has allowed the corrupter to go?
The scandal is reputed to have cost Macapagal his presidency, where he lost by a landslide to
Ferdinand Marcos during the 1965 Philippine presidential election. Economic historians also note that
it helped fuel a brand of economic nationalism which resulted in policies which slowed the growth of
the Philippines' market economy for decades to come.

Carlos Polestico Garcia
(November 4, 1896 – June 14, 1971)
He was a Filipino teacher, poet, orator, lawyer, public official, political economist,
organized guerrilla and Commonwealth military leader, who was the eighth President
of the Philippines.
PROJECT MADE BY HIS ADMINISTRATION
I. Anti-Communism
After much discussion, both official and public, the Congress of the Philippines, finally, approved a bill
outlawing the Communist Party of the Philippines. Despite the pressure exerted against the
congressional measure, Garcia signed the said bill into law as Republic Act No. 1700 on June 19, 1957.
Republic Act № 1700 was superseded by Presidential Decree № 885, entitled "Outlawing Subversive
Organization, Penalizing Membership Therein and For Other Purposes." This was amended by
Presidential Decree № 1736, and later superseded by Presidential Decree № 1835, entitled, "Codifying
the Various Laws on Anti-Subversion and Increasing the Penalties for Membership in Subversive
Organization." This, in turn, was amended by Presidential Decree № 1975. On May 5, 1987, Executive
Order № 167 repealed Presidential Decrees № 1835 and № 1975 as being unduly restrictive of the
constitutional right to form associations.
On September 22, 1992, Republic Act № 1700, as amended, was repealed by Republic Act № 7636.
II. Filipino First Policy

García exercised the Filipino First Policy, for which he was known. This policy heavily favored Filipino
businessmen over foreign investors. He was also responsible for changes in retail trade which greatly
affected the Chinese businessmen in the country. In a speech during a joint session of Congress on
September 18, 1946, García said the following:
“ We are called upon to decide on this momentous debate whether or not this land of ours will
remain the cradle and grave, the womb and tomb of our race – the only place where we can build
our homes, our temples, and our altars and where we erect the castles of our racial hopes,
dreams and traditions and where we establish the warehouse of our happiness and prosperity,
of our joys and sorrows.
The policy of Garcia, was a response to the impact of free trade and American economic dominance in
the Philippines for years following the World War II. It is meant to assert greater Filipino role over the
country's economy if not to gain control of it by promoting "Filipino business establishment".
Garcia first instituted the policy with the issuance of Resolution No. 202 of the National Economic
Council on August 28, 1958. The policy dictates that Filipinos would have preference over non-Filipinos
in receiving foreign exchange. In line with the policy, Garcia pledged that his administration would assist
Filipino entrepreneurs to make ventures in industries dominated by non-Filipinos.
The policy received positive reception from Filipino businessmen, and there were calls to expand the
scope of the policy to include other spheres of society such as education.
However, it received negative reception from foreign businessmen, particularly
the Americans, Chinese, along with their Chinese-Filipino counterparts. Chinese-Filipinos in particular
accused the policy of discrimination over its interpretation of who is a "Filipino" and felt marginalized by
the policy. The opposition branded the policy as a political propaganda meant to win support from the
public to secure Garcia's reelection as President in the next elections. Critics has also labeled the policy
as being "anti-foreign"
Garcia in response to his critics said that his policy was not meant to foster Filipino "exclusiveness" or
was meant to be "anti-foreign" and stated that the Philippines will not close itself to foreign capital. He
asserts that the policy is meant to give Filipinos priority in relation to the control over the country's basic
industries and their development.
III. Austerity Program

In the face of the trying conditions in the country, Garcia initiated what has been called "The Austerity
Program". His administration was characterized by its austerity program and its insistence on a
comprehensive nationalist policy. On March 3, 1960, he affirmed the need for complete economic
freedom and added that the government no longer would tolerate the dominance of foreign interests
(especially American) in the national economy. He promised to shake off "the yoke of alien domination
in business, trade, commerce and industry." Garcia was also credited with his role in reviving Filipino
cultural arts. The main points of the Austerity Program were:
 The government would tighten up its controls to prevent abuses in the over shipment of exports
under license and in underpricing as well.
 There would be a more rigid enforcement of the existing regulations on barter shipments.
 Government imports themselves were to be restricted to essential items.
 The government also would reduce rice imports to a minimum.
 An overhauling of the local transportation system would be attempted so as to reduce the
importation of gasoline and spare parts.
 The tax system would be revised so as to attain more equitable distribution of the payment-
burden and achieve more effective collection from those with ability to pay.
 There would be an intensification of food production.
The program was hailed by the people at large and confidence was expressed that the
measures proposed would help solve the standing problems of the Republic.
