| On 8 August 1963, RA 3844 or the Agricultural Land Reform Code abolished and outlawed share tenancy and put in its stead the agricultural leasehold system. On 10 September 1971, Republic Act No. 6389 ("RA 6389") amending RA 3844 declared share tenancy relationships as contrary to public policy. RA 6389 did not entirely repeal RA 1199 and RA 3844 even if RA 6389 substantially modified them.[15] Thus, RA 3844 as amended by RA 6389 ("RA 3844 as amended") is the governing statute in this case. Petitioner filed his complaint on 8 December 1989 or long after the approval of RA 6389 but before Republic Act No. 6657 or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law of 1988 ("RA 6657"). Notably, RA 6657 only expressly repealed Section 35 of RA 3844 as amended. | |||||
