Brief
History
Poverty
has always been in our midst. Concerted efforts by different sectors barely
scratch its surface, hence, it remains a pressing problem.
The influx of migrants from rural to urban areas in the 1960s magnified the
worsening situation of the poor, particularly the urban poor. The fear of
ejection and violence haunted them as they struggled for their place in
society. When their situation worsened during the 1980s, urban poor groups
banded together in search of possible solutions to their problems as well as
opportunities for consultation on matters that affect them.
On April 10, 1986, a significant number of urban poor marched to Malacañang
asking for a moratorium on demolitions. It was then that the Presidential Arm
on Urban Poor Affairs (PAUPA) was created. This was subsequently changed to
Presidential Committee for the Urban Poor (PCUP) as a result of a National
Consultation Workshop by two major urban poor alliances on May 30-June 2, 1986.
The name Presidential Council for the Urban Poor was later adopted in lieu of
the Presidential Committee for the Urban Poor.
Finally, on December 8, 1986, the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor
was created by President Corazon C. Aquino through Executive Order No. 82 “to
serve as a direct link of the urban poor to the government in policy
formulation and program implementation addressed to their needs”.
Significant gains were attained but the advent of urbanization lured more
people to the metropolis and compounded the problem. Eighteen years later, on
September 27, 2004, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, issued Executive Order
No. 364, transforming the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) into the
Department of Land Reform (DLR) which now includes the National Commission on
Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and the PCUP to take charge of ancestral domain
reform and urban land reform, respectively.
