| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "In Luzon, the Second World War led to the founding of a peasant guerrilla force, which was at the same time a united front of militant but inchoate peasant, labor, and professional groups. This was the Hukbalahap, or Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon.
Appropriating the slogan "Land for the landless," the Economic Development Corps (EDCOR) implemented the resettlement of the Huks as a counterinsurgency program during the time of President Elpidio Quirino and President Ramon Magsaysay. To entice the Huks to surrender, it promised land to the landless Huks in the peripheral areas of Luzon and Mindanao. The program helped propel the rise to power of the "man of the masses," Ramon Magsaysay.
This book presents the history of EDCOR--its conception and eventual implementation of a resettlement program for the Huk surrenderees in Mindanao, its implications on Magsaysay's political career, and its continuing relevance to the contemporary unrest in Mindanao."
