Since the hacienda type of landownership is quite unique, it is assumed that the village located within a hacienda, so called a hacienda barrio , has various distinctive features in relation to its socio‐economic structure. In this monograph, one of the hacienda barrio in Central Luzon is taken as a case study, revealing a heterogeneous composition of the tenant class, that is, the existence of non‐cultivating tenants and sub‐tenants. The author attempted to get an integrated or systematic understanding of this composition through an examination of the social stratification, arriving at the hypothetical conclusion that the existence of multiple sub‐classes within a homogeneous tenant class should be understood as a differentiation of the tenant class within the framework of the hacienda.
