Documentary filmmaker Ditsi Carolino follows the struggles of farm workers of Hacienda Vicenta in La Castellana town in Negros Occidental who are fighting for their right to own land under the Philippines’ Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).
They were promised in 2012 that they will each get about one hectare of land each. But in 2021, as their collective title was being processed, the Department of Agrarian Reform granted the application of the landowner for land use conversion.
This documentary received funding and production support from the Legal Education Advancement Program (LEAP), Legal Education Board (LEB), and UP Law Center.
The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) was granted permission for the first public release of the documentary.

Namfrel addresses the IP address controversy during a PCIJ roundtable with election watchdogs.
TNTrio – an IT group led by former ICT chief Eliseo Rio – showed that several election returns (ERs) that the Comelec's transparency server received from different vote-counting machines (VCMs) during the 2022 elections have the same IP address. The group alleged that the VCMs were pre-programmed to generate spurious ERs.
Namfrel national chairperson Angel "Lito" Averia Jr. explained how the Internet works and the difference between private and public IP addresses.
He said the controversy can be resolved if TNTrio can identify or present which VCMs produced the spurious ERs. "That will resolve everything kung tama o mali ang sinsabi nila," he said.
A manual count can be conducted to compare the results, he said.
Former Comelec commissioner Luie Guia said the controversy shows the need for more transparency moving forward.
The Philippines will hold on October 30 the Barangay and SK Elections, where voters will go back to a manual election system.
It's the first of three — possibly four — elections that loom in the Philippines in the next two years.
In this PCIJ roundtable held in September, election watchdog groups identify priority issues.
There will be 2 or 3 elections in 2025: the May 2025 national elections, the May 2025 BARMM elections, and another village and youth elections if a recent Supreme Court ruling will be followed. Comelec is expected to file a motion for reconsideration.
