470 farmers get land titles

By June 18, 2017Inside News, News

URDANETA CITY-  The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) distributed land titles to 470 farm tillers and workers.

DAR Secretary Rafael ‘Ka Paeng’ Mariano presented the Certificates of Land Ownership Awards (CLOA) to the farmers in what he described as a ‘historical activity for the farmers’.

The land titles covered 654 hectares of agricultural land.

“Itong lupa ay binibigay sa inyo ayon sa batas…. at lagi kong sinsasabi, huwag kayong mang-aagaw ng pinagpawisan ng iba at ipapakain ninyo sa sarili ninyong pamilya,” Mariano told the beneficiaries during the ceremony.

The secretary said the challenge for DAR is the installation of uninstalled beneficiaries who are holders of CLOA or patents.

He said R.A. 657 mandates that the right and responsibilities of the beneficiaries shall commence upon the receipt of a duly registered emancipation patent or CLOA along with their actual physical possession.

Mariano also handed certificates of completion to 71 graduates of the Farmers Business School and to the 144 graduates of mandatory training conducted by the Cooperative Development Authority. (PIA-Pangasinan/ VHS)
