Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officer Jessan Saquian said in a statement the installation is proof that the DAR is implementing the program mandated by the government as a measure to improve the lives of farmer-beneficiaries.

“Raise issues and concerns on land reform to the authorized agency, which is the DAR,” he told the farmer-beneficiaries.

Last February 13, the DAR in Negros Occidental-North also installed 63 ARBs in Barangay Jerusalem a day after they received their certificates of land ownership award (CLOAs).

The awarded landholdings was previously owned by Ma. Cecilia Arguelles Gonzaga.

Figueroa oriented the beneficiaries on their rights and obligations, which include regularly paying their respective amortizations and land taxes.

The previous landowner asked the ARBs not to lease the awarded lands, but instead make it more productive.

“I have agreed to subject these lands to CARP believing that we are all mere stewards or caretakers of God creation,” she added.

For his part, Caliban village chief Antonio Luis Gonzaga expressed his support to the programs of the DAR.

He also encouraged the beneficiaries to take good care of the land and to fulfill their obligations.

In response, Dionesia Banquillo, one of the beneficiaries, expressed her gratitude to the government and the former landowner for granting them the land titles. (PNA)
