Where: LV =Land Value
 CNI =Capitalized Net Income
CS = Comparable Sales
MV =Market Value per Tax Declaration

the resulting figure in the equation is always multiplied to the number of area or hectarage of land
valued for just compensation.

1. True

Question 98
1 Point
In 1972, another land reform law was passed, this time providing for confiscatory and nationwide
implementation of the law. While the program covered only rice and corn farmlands, these farms make
up the bulk of agricultural production at that time. PD27 has increased smallholder family rice and corn
farms. It was intended to address the design limitations of the Land Reform Code of 1963. Presidential
Decree No 2 was first enacted to declare the entire country to land reform in 1971. Thereafter,
Presidential Decree 27 (or PD27) followed adopting the two-step land distribution scheme of the 1963
Code – the Operation Land Transfer (OLT) and Operation Leasehold or Leasehold Operation (LHO)—
but with significant changes in retention limits and expropriation procedures. Under OLT, lands above
the retention limit of 7 hectares were transferred to tenants through compulsory and confiscatory
acquisition converting tenants into owners of the land they cultivated. The land valuation was based
solely on agricultural production fixed at 2.5 times the annual yield valued at 1972 government support
price. Eligible tenant farmers received a Certificate of Land Transfer (CLT) issued by the Secretary of
Agrarian Reform, for the land they occupy and cultivate, up to a maximum ____________if irrigated or
____________ if unirrigated.
