The profits of the Dominican order continually increased because of thearbitrary increase of the rentals paid by the tenants.The hacienda owner never contributed a single centavo for thecelebration of the town fiesta, for the education of the children, and forthe improvement of the agriculture.

Tenants who had spent much labor in clearing the lands weredispossessed of said lands for flimsy reasons.High rates of interest were charged the tenants for delayed payment ofrentals and when the rentals could not be paid, the hacienda managementconfiscated their carabaos, tools and homes.
