Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Secretary Bernie Cruz has distributed a total of 179 electronic land titles (e-titles) to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) of Western Visayas under the agency\u2019s Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project over the weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe \u2018e-titles\u2019 issued here in Ibajay, Aklan, that were made possible under the Land Registration Authority\u2019s new computerized system, are the first e-titles distributed to our farmer-beneficiaries nationwide,\u201d Cruz said in a news release on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He disclosed the SPLIT project intends to fast-track the land subdivision or parcelization of Collective Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CCLOAs) of about 1.368 million hectares of lands nationwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cIssuing separate titles for each farmer-beneficiary is better because it enables them to have a clear and defined ownership of the parcels of land they are tilling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Lawyer Sheila Enciso, Western Visayas Regional Director, said under the SPLIT project, the DAR would parcelize the awarded lands covered by a CCLOA.<\/p>\n
This, she said, would mean that each farmer beneficiary would be given an individual land title based on the actual area or a particular portion of land they are tilling.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 179 e-tiles distributed to 161 ARBs are located in Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo, Negros Occidental 1 and Negros Occidental 2 covering a total of 249.8389 hectares of agricultural lands,\u201d Enciso said.<\/p>\n
Enciso credited the hard work, commitment, and dedication of the DAR-Western Visayas personnel, together with the DAR-SPLIT team, partner-agencies, and ARBs for the smooth implementation of the project.<\/p>\n
Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer Ma. Teresa Valencia said the project resolved conflict in allocating and delineating lands from the CCLOAs issued in the earlier phase of the program.<\/p>\n
She disclosed that in the province of Aklan, the 89 e-tiles or Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) distributed to seventy-eight (78) ARBs covering a total of 169 hectares of agricultural lands, are broken down into 13 e-tiles from Feliciano and 76 from Oquendo, Balete.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis move will give leverage to farmers to freely decide on how to till their lands for optimum production,\u201d Valencia said. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
