MSOpinion Giving priority to our economic survival Unknown to many, Marcos Sr. is the only president who issued numerous decrees in favor of the working class to truly make him as the representative of the workers

The administration should give priority to the basic needs of our people.

First, he took the more radical approach of land reform by issuing P.D. 27 limiting the landholdings; urging the formation of farmers’ cooperatives; granting and liberalizing loans to land-reform beneficiaries; building of fertilizer plant and selling them at subsidized price; and carrying out massive irrigation in all agricultural lands.

Marcos was also able to secure a collective bargaining agreement for Filipino workers working inside the bases including the payment of tax on imported items made by US servicemen residing inside them. The First Lady also opened a general hospital for government personnel which former President Marcos initially named “Ospital ng Bagong Lipunan” to serve all in the public service.

The fourth priority of the then Marcos administration was to improve the conditions of the working masses. Yes, we have communist threat in the 50s, but again these are threats borne by the local insurgency movement.
