M2 Lesson 2 (While Task) 2

The three main Catholic orders - Dominican, Augustinian, and Recollect - controlled most of the friar lands in the Philippines and acted as both landowners and local political authorities. As the religious orders refused to sell or rent these lands, farmers were unable to access them to farm. Additionally, the friars did not pay taxes on the lands, negatively impacting the government. Hacienda de Calamba became a site of unrest in the late 1800s due to Jose Rizal's findings that the friars' ownership of most of the land there was unlawful, though they owned little land themselves.

What is the broader history of the friar lands? Why did the Hacienda de Calamba become a site of
agitation in the late nineteenth century?

The three orders of friars (Dominican, Augustinians, and Recoletos) controlled most of these lands.
These landowners not only control most of these lands but acted as political authorities in this area. The
religious orders would not sell these lands of their own accord, and thus the agriculturists who want to
use them were not allowed wither buying or renting. The government was also on its downside since
these landowners do not pay taxes. Hacienda de Calamba became a site of agitation in the late
nineteenth century because of the findings of Rizal on the land ownership of the friars. It was a bit
shocking that there was only a little land owned by the friars, but their possession of the remaining land
was unlawful.
