The results of a survey conducted in 1978 in a rice village situated at the frontier of Laguna rice growing area are presented with special reference to land tenancy, labour employment, rice production and income distribution. The study village shared characteristics common to the rice villages in Laguna and in the Philippines in general. In terms of land tenure systems, labour hiring institutions, labour absorption, technology adopted, and production structure as observed by the relative factor shares and production function, there were few differences in rice farming between this village and other typical rice villages in the country. A distinct feature as a frontier village is observed in its low share of landless farm labourers in the total village households. The functional share of land in rice production was lower and that of labour higher in this marginal village than in villages at the centre of the Laguna rice belt.
