In the context of agrarian reform in the Philippines, the annotation of a Notice of

Coverage (NOC) by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) on a land title signifies
that the property is subject to agrarian reform laws, particularly the Comprehensive
Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). The annotation serves as notice to the public that the
land is intended for redistribution to qualified agrarian reform beneficiaries.

Here are some key effects and implications of the annotation of a Notice of Coverage:

1. Restrictions on Transfer: The annotation may restrict the transfer or sale of the
property until the issues related to agrarian reform coverage are resolved. The
purpose is to ensure that the intended beneficiaries have an opportunity to
acquire the land.
2. Potential Redistribution: The annotation indicates that the land may be
acquired by the government for redistribution to qualified farmers as part of the
agrarian reform program. The government may acquire the land either through
voluntary land transfer or compulsory acquisition.
