CARPER stands for CARP Extension with Reforms. The Philippines has a program called Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) that aims to redistribute all agricultural lands to landless farmers. In December 2008, the budget for CARP has expired and there remains 1.2 million hectares of agricultural lands waiting to be acquired and distributed to farmers. Philippine Congress being a landlord dominated institution, is reluctant to continue the funding of CARP despite the clear call by farmers and the President to pass a CARP Extension with Reforms law.
