    This document summarizes Philippine Presidential Decree No. 27, also known as the Tenant Emancipation Law. The decree aims to emancipate tenants from bondage to landlords by transferring ownership of agricultural lands devoted to rice and corn from private landowners to tenant farmers. It entitles tenant farmers to ownership of up to 5 hectares of non-irrigated land or 3 hectares of irrigated land. The decree establishes a process for tenants to receive Certificates of Land Transfer, followed by Emancipation Patents, to ultimately obtain indefeasible ownership of the land. It also defines conditions under which the emancipation patents can be cancelled.
