Receipt Spine

  • Ayala/Bergad complicate the simple claim that the whole land problem started when the flag changed in 1898.
  • The local source sprint records pre-1898 land concentration, landlessness, and rural inequality as part of the receipt trail.
  • The public claim stays balanced: after 1898, power changed through government, currency, markets, credit, roads, ports, and who could endure.
