LAND TENURE SECURITY PROGRAM (LTSP)

1. Accelerating Land Usec FOO Expanded This in compliance with the directive of the President pursuant to Executive
Acquisition and Order No. 75 series of 2019 "Directing all Departments, Bureaus, Office and
Distribution of Instrumentalities of the Government to Identify Lands Owned by the
Landholdings Under EO Government Devoted to or Suitable for Agriculture for Distribution to
75 Series of 2019 Qualified Beneficiaries". As of January 2020, DAR' s updated inventory of
EO 75 covered landholdings is around 268,086 hectares. For CY 2020,
DAR's registration target stands at 12,638 hectares of EO 75 landholdings.
However, the evolving policy struggle on how to address the resistance of
government institutions aggravated by the limited movements of personnel
which arose from the COVID 19 pandemic had stalled coverage and
eventual distribution of the targetted landholdings. For the current year,
the DAR shall be distributing 14,500 hectares in addition to the slippage
from the previous year.
The proposal intends to accelerate the validation, segregation,
acquisition, and distribution of fifty thousand (50,000) hectares of
EO 75 landholdings to 50,000 farmer-beneficiaries. Acquisition and
distribution of unutilized government-owned lands is also intended
to benefit landless agricultural graduates as well as rebel-returnees
who shall be trained to become farmer-entrepreneuers. Distribution
of EO 75 lands is also considered as an ELCAC-attributory PAP of
the Department in areas where there are presence of communist
insurgents as well as in areas where rural peace has to be
sustained.

2. Reallocation of Usec FOO Expanded This proposal shall cover the reallocation of unprogrammed budget under
Unprogrammed Post Tier 1 ceiling for Post Land Distribution which was originally intended for the
Land istribution Budget to subdivision of collective CLOAs. The latter activity was maintreamed in the
Transformation of SPLit Project beginning this year; hence, an unprogrammed amount of PhP
Problematic landholdings 33.056 million became available for reallocation. Under this initiative, the
to Workables Under amount shall be reallocated to the Supervison and Management for LTSP to
Supervision and be lodged at the DARCO to cover transformation activities that are intended
management for LTSP. to create buffer stock of workable private landholdings for acquisition and
distribution from the inventory of problematic landholdings.
From the list of problematic landholdings, DAR found an initial magnitude of
70,000 hectares that can be transformed into workables considering that
problems identified include reconstitution of titles, survey problems, peace
and order ,and implementation policy gaps that need to be resolved by DAR
and its CARP partners like DENR, LRA, NCIP, and LBP. Thus, the iniative
this year on the transformation activities has to be sustained in 2022 to
generate workable landholdings for distribution in the next two years.
The funds under this Tier 2 proposal will be utilized to ensure that
there will be enough workable target in year 2023 and 2024.
Component of the project includes the following: 1.) Transformation
of Problematics into Workables - includes data cleansing,
consultations activities, amending policy gaps internal to DAR and
with CARP Partners (DENR, LRA, NCIP and LBP); 2.) Reconstution
of Lost/Missing Titles - there are a lot landholdings that were
already in the advanced stage but transfer of title from the
landowner to the Republic of the Philippines cannot be done unless
the titles are adminstratively and/or judicial reconstituted; 3.)
Participatory Social Marketing Campaign thru the conduct of
distribution ceremonies cum consultation dialogues with the
President and key cabinet officials.

This proposal shall not entail any allocation from the available fiscal space
for 2022 but shall involve reallocation of Tier 1 funds from the Post Land
Distribution to Supervision and Management for LTSP.

BALA Expanded The Department of Agrarian Reform thru the enabling leadership of the
Secretary, amidst the global pandemic that our country is into, the AJDP
sector will continue to perform and in continuous support to the program
thrusts and priorities of the Department and as an integral part of the
mandate of the President as to fair and speedy resolution of agrarian cases
and delivery of agrarian legal assistance to the beneficiaries, it is inherent
and crucial for the DAR specifically the Bureau of Agrarian Legal
Assistance (BALA) to implement the same in close collaboration with the
Legal Divisions of DAR Field Offices and thru cooperation of other
Department officials and stakeholders. Likewise, it is the directive of the
AJDP sector to continue to sustain the Zero Backlog policy of DARAB and
ALI cases which shall be expeditiously resolved in compliance with the
issuance of DAR Memorandum No. 4 dated 03 January 2019 and DAR
Memorandum No. 37 dated 08 January 2020 and to be able to preserve the
gains of the same. Further, pursuant to the implementation of the
Administrative Order No. 02, series 2019, on Parcelization of Collective
Certificates of Land Ownership Awards (CCLOAs) it is projected that more
cases under Agrarian Law Implementation (ALI) will be received, reviewed
and evaluated including the unfunded Cancellation cases. Considering the
current scenario, we are challenged to move and deliver our targets and
commitments in the interest of public service and align with the current
protocols and mandate of the current administration. To be able to
effectively and efficiently implement these mandates, it requires sufficient
financial and logistic support, hence this request in Tier 2 is submitted for
consideration and approval.
DARAB Expanded The Adjudication of Cases involves the resolution of cases falling within the
jurisdiction of the DAR Adjudication Board (DARAB), Regional Agrarian
Reform Adjudicators (RARADs) and Provincial Agrarian Reform
Adjudicators (PARADs).
The DAR Adjudication Board (appellate), together with its regional and
provincial counterparts have the primary and exclusive jurisdiction to
determine and adjudicate all agrarian cases and disputes arising from the
implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program under R.A.
No. 9700, R.A. 6657, Executive Order No. 229 and 129-A, R.A. No. 3844 as
amended by R.A. No. 6389, P.D. No. 27 and other agrarian laws and
implementing rules and regulations.
Under EO 229, DAR was granted quasi-judicial power to determine and
adjudicate agrarian reform matters. Sec. 17, EO 229 vested the DAR with
quasi-judicial powers. “The DAR is hereby vested with quasi-judicial powers
to determine and adjudicate agrarian reform matters and shall have
exclusive original jurisdiction over all matters involving implementation of
agrarian reform, except those falling under the exclusive original jurisdiction
of the DENR and the Department of Agriculture (DA).”
Cordially, under Sections 6 and 13 of E.O. 129-A, the Department of
Agrarian Reform Adjudication Board (DARAB) was created under the Office
of the Secretary. Pursuant to EO 129-A, the Board assumed the powers
and functions with respect to the adjudication of agrarian reform cases. E.O.
129-A strengthened the DAR to be more effective in implementing the
CARP. However, when Republic Act No. 6657 (CARP Law) was passed, it
re-invested on DAR the primary jurisdiction to determine and adjudicate
agrarian reform matters (Section 50 of RA 6657 as amended).

considered in CY 2021 NEP, hence, the same activity was not also

Tier 2 FY2022 for consideration and approval.
PURPOSE
To strengthen the commitment and capacity of the Department to
achieve its goal of delivering agrarian legal services especially as
resolution and disposition of Agrarian Law Implementation (ALI)
cases.
•To address the need for reduction of requirements and processing
time for ALI cases specially land conversion and cancellation of
AR titles.
•To effectively and efficiently deliver legal services under ALI in
compliance to administrative orders and memorandum circulars
issued
•To adhere to the thrusts and priorities of the President of the
Philippines and in align with the programs and mandate of the
Department of Agrarian Reform.
•To sustain the zero backlog project on the agrarian law
implementation cases as committed by the DAR Secretary.
•Provide support to the SPLIT Project (Environmental/Social
Safeguards/Legal Processes)
By virtue and pursuant to various administrative orders and circulars
pertinent to AJDP specifically ALI component, additional funds are
being proposed under Tier 2 budget for consideration and approval
to cover additional targets in excess of the Tier 1 ceiling. While the
activity is existing, the target setting under Tier 1 was limited to the
sectoral budget ceiling as provided by the DBM, hence, reducing
the target as programmed. However, as manifested and based on
the commitment of the implementing field offices, where, they could
do and deliver more beyond Tier 1 targets if the corresponding
funds will be released to cover the additional targets as proposed
with regional breakdownas shown in BP Form B.To strengthen the
commitment and capacity of the Department to achieve its goal of
delivering agrarian legal services especially as resolution and
disposition of Agrarian Law Implementation (ALI) cases.
Purpose/Objectives:
- To resolve agrarian reform disputes in a speedy, judicious, and
inexpensive manner;
-To achieve 100% accomplishment of its caseload for the year; and
- To provide full support in the implementation of the agrarian reform
program
In line with the DAR Strategic Plan for 2017-2022, DARAB must
promote the rights and welfare of the farmers in pursuit of social
justice and pursue a just, expeditious and inexpensive adjudication
of AR cases, disputes or controversies.
For the year 2020, most of the regions have already achieved 100%
accomplishment in the resolution of their caseload. For the year
2021, 2022, and the succeeding years, DARAB aims to achieve the
zero-caseload accomplishment, nationwide. To ensure the
achievement of this objective, DARAB must aggressively use
Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) schemes. In addition, since the
objective is the resolution of its annual caseload, DARAB must
anticipate the influx of cases that shall be subjected to Post-
Judgment remedies and Execution activities.
However, because the Department follows target-based budgeting
and the Department has been given a limited budget ceiling.
Furthermore, with the above-mentioned objectives, the given budget
will not be enough to support the over-the-target acccomplishments.
Moreover, the regions have showed in the past years that their
absorptive capacity in resolving cases and in their performance in
other indicators are higher than the given funded targets. Hence,
the proposal for the expansion of the target-based activities of the
Adjudication for Agrarian Reform Cases.
