FACTS:
RULING:
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Rolando Sigre and granted his consolidated petitions. The
Court ruled that DAR Memorandum Circular No. 6 is not in conflict with PD 816, which states
that tenant-farmer (agricultural lessee) shall pay lease rentals to the landowner until the value of
the property has been determined or agreed upon by the landowner and DAR. The circular only
supplements such Presidential Decree by mandating that tenant-farmer pays rental to LBP after
the value has been determined. Moreover, the Court reiterated that there is no question on the
constitutionality of PD 27, providing for the emancipation of tenants from the bondage of soil
and transferring to them the ownership of the land they till.
