    REPUBLIC ACT No.

    2263

    AN ACT AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT NUMBERED ONE


    THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE
    AGRICULTURAL TENANCY ACT OF THE PHILIPPINES.

    "Sec. 9. Severance of Relations. The tenancy relationship is


    extinguished by the voluntary surrender or abandonment of the land
    by, or the death or incapacity of, the tenant:  Provided, That in case of the
    tenant's death or incapacity, the tenancy relationship shall continue between the landholder
    and one member of the tenant's immediate farm household who is related to the tenant
    within the second degree by consanguinity and who shall cultivate the land himself
    personally unless the landholder shall cultivate the land himself personally or through the
    employment of mechanical farm implements, in accordance with section fifty hereof.
    Should the deceased or incapacitated tenant have two or more
    members of his immediate farm household qualified to succeed him,
    the landholder shall have the right to choose from among them who
    should succeed. The expiration of the period of the contract as fixed by the parties, or
    the sale, alienation or transfer of legal possession of the land does not of itself extinguish the
    relationship. In the latter case, the purchaser or transferee shall assume the rights and
    obligations of the former landholder in relation to the tenant, In case of death of the
    landholder, his heir or heirs shall likewise assume his rights and obligations."

    -----------------

    "Sec. 22. Rights of the Tenant:

    "(2) The tenant shall, aside from his labor, have the right to provide any of the
    contributions for production whenever he can do so adequately and on time subject
    to the provisions of section fourteen of this Act.

    "(3) The tenant shall have the right to demand for a home lot
    suitable for dwelling with an area of not more than 3 per cent of
    the area of his landholding provided that it does not exceed one
    thousand square meters and that it shall be located at a
    convenient and suitable place within the land of the landholder
    to be designated by the later where the tenant shall construct
    his dwelling and may raise vegetables, poultry, pigs and other
    animals and engage in minor industries, the products of which
    shall accrue to the tenant exclusively. The Tenant's dwelling
    shall not be removed from the lot already assigned to him by
    the landholder, except as provided in section twenty-six unless
    there is a severance of the tenancy relationship between them
    as provided under section nine, or unless the tenant is ejected
    for cause, and only after the expiration of forty-five days
    following such severance of relationship or dismissal for cause.
