The prenda system is a traditional Filipino land arrangement where individuals can acquire the rights to use land without full ownership, typically by paying a nominal fee (such as 20,000 pesos for 1,000 square meters of farmland) and returning the amount to the original owner after generating profits from agricultural production.

Uh-huh. Prenda? Prenda. Prenda, which means you can buy the rights to it. And the deal is Um the sale of this um land before it is a rice field, but since the water can't get inside here, so it's just a bit uh hard for them to get the water from the creek, so they just um because they didn't uh plant here like almost 5 years or something, so um it's just a bit waste and before my cousin just go to our house and tell us that they just sell this uh land, just only the rights. 20,000 pesos. I think um it's depend with us uh how we can get a production here.
