**[00:04:14.250] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000027)  
Honorable members of the Committee on Appropriations, Secretary Conrad Estrella III

**[00:04:19.430] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000028)  
and esteemed guests from the Department of Agrarian Reform,

**[00:04:22.590] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000029)  
Distinguished colleagues and fellow public servants, magandang umaga po inyong lahat.

**[00:04:28.510] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000030)  
As the lead agency tasked with implementing genuine

**[00:04:31.330] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000031)  
and comprehensive agrarian reform, the Department of Agrarian Reform remains steadfast in advancing

**[00:04:37.550] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000032)  
the redistribution of land to farmer beneficiaries. This mandate is anchored on the Comprehensive

**[00:04:44.570] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000033)  
Agrarian Reform Program and reinforced by landmark measures such as the New Agrarian

**[00:04:50.950] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000034)  
Emancipation Act, Republic Act 11953, which has delivered historic, tangible results.

**[00:04:59.750] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000035)  
In his recent directives, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has continuously underscored DAR's

**[00:05:06.210] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000036)  
crucial role in fast-tracking the distribution of land titles, whether through certificates

**[00:05:12.170] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000037)  
of land ownership award, the CLOAS, electronic titles, or COCROMs.

**[00:05:17.630] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000038)  
These initiatives are designed to secure farmer ownership and provide lasting relief from

**[00:05:23.230] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000039)  
agrarian debt.

**[00:05:24.710] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000040)  
As of August 12, 2026, the Department has reported that the debt condonation process

**[00:05:30.990] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000041)  
under this law has successfully distributed a total of 703,047 certificates of condonation

**[00:05:39.410] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000042)  
with release of mortgage, these are our COCROMs, covering 901,246 hectares.

**[00:05:47.630] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000043)  
of land and freeing hundreds of thousands

**[00:05:52.910] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000044)  
of agrarian reform beneficiaries from a massive 54.7 billion in unpaid debts, fully enabling

**[00:06:00.710] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000045)  
them to cultivate the lands they till as free and empowered landowners.

**[00:06:06.730] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000046)  
For fiscal year 2027, the NEP proposed a budget of 14.691 billion, representing approximately

**[00:06:17.630] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000047)  
of the proposed ₱7.2 trillion national budget.

**[00:06:22.150] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000048)  
This budget is strategically allocated with $3.373 billion

**[00:06:27.910] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000049)  
for land tenure security program

**[00:06:30.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000050)  
or 22.96% of the total agency budget of $1.29 billion,

**[00:06:39.710] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000051)  
which is 8.23% for agrarian justice delivery program

**[00:06:44.330] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000052)  
and $2.477 billion, 16.86%

**[00:06:49.570] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000053)  
for agrarian reform beneficiaries development and support program.

**[00:06:55.150] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000054)  
This allocation embodies DAR's commitment not only to distribute land

**[00:06:59.370] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000055)  
but also to transform beneficiaries into empowered, self-reliant,

**[00:07:04.910] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000056)  
and productive stewards of their communities.

**[00:07:08.350] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000057)  
This committee anticipates a clear and comprehensive presentation

**[00:07:11.830] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000058)  
that will demonstrate how last year's approach

**[00:07:14.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000059)  
to land appropriations were maximized

**[00:07:16.810] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000060)  
and how this proposed budget will translate into measurable gains,

**[00:07:20.810] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000061)  
ensuring secure land tenure,

**[00:07:23.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000062)  
protecting the rights and welfare of farmer beneficiaries,

**[00:07:27.810] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000063)  
and improving the quality of life in agrarian reformed communities.

**[00:07:32.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000064)  
On that note, before the agency begins its presentations,

**[00:07:36.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000065)  
I would like to introduce, which is myself,

**[00:07:39.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000066)  
the sponsor of DAR's budget, Vice Chairperson Representative Ian Dy.

**[00:07:44.810] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000067)  
Let us now proceed to the presentation

**[00:07:46.810] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000068)  
of the Secretary of the Department of Agrarian Reform's proposed budget

**[00:07:50.810] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000069)  
for fiscal year 2027.

**[00:07:53.310] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000070)  
Thank you.

**[00:07:58.450] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000071)

**[00:08:04.450] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000073)  
Thank you.

**[00:08:05.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000074)  
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

**[00:08:08.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000075)  
Distinguished Deputy Speakers,

**[00:08:11.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000076)  
our partners in service to the people,

**[00:08:17.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000077)  
from the legislative branch,

**[00:08:19.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000078)  
both from the minority and the majority,

**[00:08:23.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000079)  
my former colleagues,

**[00:08:28.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000080)  
I still breathe the same air when I'm here.

**[00:08:32.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000081)  
I still feel at home.

**[00:08:34.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000082)  
Good morning to all of you.

**[00:08:38.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000083)  
It is without most respect and gratitude that we present the Department

**[00:08:42.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000084)  
of Agrarian Reform's proposed budget for fiscal year

**[00:08:46.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000085)  
2027.

**[00:08:49.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000086)  
Allow me to begin a directive from His Excellency,

**[00:08:55.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000087)  
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.

**[00:08:58.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000088)  
during his 2026 State of the Nation Address.

**[00:09:02.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000089)  
Ang sabi niya,

**[00:09:04.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000090)  
Asahan ninyo, kukumpletuhin na natin ngayong taon

**[00:09:08.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000091)  
ang ginagawa nating pagpapawalang-bisa

**[00:09:11.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000092)  
sa mga utang ng ating mga benepisyaryo.

**[00:09:15.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000093)  
This directive gives clear direction to the Department of Agrarian Reform.

**[00:09:21.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000094)  
The President has entrusted us with a very specific and urgent responsibility

**[00:09:28.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000095)  
to fulfill the mandate of the law by completing this year

**[00:09:33.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000096)  
the debt condonation process for our agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:09:39.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000097)  
This is anchored on Republic Act Number 11953,

**[00:09:44.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000098)  
or the new Agrarian Emancipation Act,

**[00:09:48.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000099)  
which institutionalized the condonation of the unpaid amortizations,

**[00:09:53.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000100)  
interest, penalties, and other related obligations

**[00:09:57.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000101)  
of qualified agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:10:01.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000102)  
And by the way, may I take this opportunity,

**[00:10:04.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000103)  
ladies and gentlemen, honorable members of the Appropriations Committee,

**[00:10:09.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000104)  
to congratulate each and every one of you,

**[00:10:13.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000105)  
because this is the accomplishment also of the House of Representatives,

**[00:10:19.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000106)  
which, when this was proposed as a bill and debated upon,

**[00:10:23.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000107)  
nobody went against it,

**[00:10:26.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000108)  
and that there was unanimous voting for this measure.

**[00:10:31.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000109)  
So thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

**[00:10:35.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000110)  
Our directive today is rooted in a long legacy of agrarian reform.

**[00:10:43.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000111)  
On September 26,

**[00:10:45.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000112)  
1972,

**[00:10:47.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000113)  
Presidential Decree Number 2

**[00:10:49.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000114)  
declared the entire Philippines a land reform area,

**[00:10:53.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000115)  
followed on October 21 by Presidential Decree 27,

**[00:11:00.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000116)  
the Tenant Emancipation Decree,

**[00:11:03.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000117)  
which sought to emancipate tenant farmers by transferring ownership of the land they tilled.

**[00:11:09.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000118)  
At that time,

**[00:11:11.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000119)  
my grandfather, the late Minister Conrado F. Estrella,

**[00:11:15.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000120)  
worked alongside the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos,

**[00:11:21.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000121)  
in advancing this historic reform.

**[00:11:25.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000122)  
More than five decades later,

**[00:11:28.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000123)  
on July 7, 2023,

**[00:11:31.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000124)  
Republic Act 11953, or the new Agrarian Emancipation Act,

**[00:11:36.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000125)  
continued this legacy.

**[00:11:38.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000126)  
And today,

**[00:11:39.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000127)  
President Ferdinand R. Marcos,

**[00:11:42.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000128)  
and I,

**[00:11:43.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000129)  
carry this responsibility forward,

**[00:11:46.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000130)  
from land distribution and debt condonation

**[00:11:49.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000131)  
to agrarian justice and the empowerment of our farmers.

**[00:11:56.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000132)  
The years 2022

**[00:11:59.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000133)  
to 2026

**[00:12:01.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000134)  
may aptly be described as banner years for the Department of Agrarian Reform.

**[00:12:08.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000135)  
In 2022,

**[00:12:11.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000136)  
there at the beginning of this administration,

**[00:12:14.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000137)  
DAR immediately strengthened the implementation of its core mandate.

**[00:12:20.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000138)  
We were able to distribute 21,876 land titles,

**[00:12:27.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000139)  
covering approximately 25,159 hectares

**[00:12:33.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000140)  
and benefiting 24,804 agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:12:40.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000141)  
This represented a 124% increase

**[00:12:43.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000142)  
over the baseline period,

**[00:12:50.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000143)  
comparing it to the previous administrations,

**[00:12:54.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000144)  
Your Honors.

**[00:12:55.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000145)  
I-lay din natin 'yung basis natin

**[00:12:59.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000146)  
from previous administration kasi 'yung dinistribute

**[00:13:03.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000147)  
nilang land titles is the same with what we have distributed

**[00:13:06.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000148)  
in six months only.

**[00:13:09.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000149)  
Their accomplishment in the previous year

**[00:13:12.070] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000150)  
for a period of one year and three months.

**[00:13:18.160] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000151)  
Pumareho lang ho kami,

**[00:13:20.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000152)  
ngunit six months lang ho namin inimplement.

**[00:13:23.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000153)  
At the same time,

**[00:13:26.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000154)  
DAR reinforced its legal service system

**[00:13:28.630] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000155)  
and strengthened its rural development campaign.

**[00:13:31.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000156)  
This early momentum

**[00:13:33.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000157)  
was significant

**[00:13:36.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000158)  
because it demonstrated that

**[00:13:38.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000159)  
agrarian reform would remain a priority

**[00:13:41.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000160)  
under this administration.

**[00:13:44.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000161)  
It also provided the foundation

for much more ambitious reform

**[00:13:49.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000163)  
fulfilling the President's commitment

**[00:13:51.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000164)  
to free our farmers from agrarian debt.

**[00:13:56.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000165)  
In 2023,

**[00:13:58.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000166)  
a historic milestone was achieved.

**[00:14:01.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000167)  
Republic Act No. 11953

**[00:14:04.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000168)  
or the new Agrarian Emancipation Act

**[00:14:07.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000169)  
was signed into law.

**[00:14:09.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000170)  
A landmark measure

**[00:14:10.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000171)  
that was acted upon swiftly

**[00:14:12.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000172)  
by our legislators

**[00:14:14.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000173)  
and received broad support

**[00:14:16.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000174)  
reflecting our shared commitment

**[00:14:18.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000175)  
to liberate our beloved farmers

**[00:14:21.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000176)  
from the burden of agrarian debt.

**[00:14:25.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000177)  
During this year,

**[00:14:27.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000178)  
DAR distributed 63,897 land titles

**[00:14:32.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000179)  
equivalent to 84,044 hectares

**[00:14:36.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000180)  
benefiting 73,907

**[00:14:39.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000181)  
agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:14:42.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000182)  
This represented a 396% increase

**[00:14:45.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000183)  
over the baseline period.

**[00:14:47.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000184)  
In fact,

**[00:14:48.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000185)  
Your Honors,

**[00:15:12.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000198)  
I think we did

**[00:15:14.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000199)  
more by distributing

**[00:15:15.660] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000200)  
84,044

**[00:15:17.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000201)  
hectares.

**[00:15:19.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000202)  
We recognize the invaluable role

**[00:15:22.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000203)  
of our legislators in

**[00:15:24.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000204)

**[00:15:38.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000211)  
In 2024,

**[00:15:40.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000212)  
the Department translated

**[00:15:42.240] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000213)  
the law into actual benefits

**[00:15:44.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000214)  
on the ground.

**[00:15:46.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000215)  
DAR began the

**[00:15:47.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000216)  
nationwide distribution of

**[00:15:50.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000217)

and with

**[00:15:53.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000219)  
release of mortgage, otherwise

**[00:15:56.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000220)  
known as the COCROM,

**[00:15:58.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000221)  
the instrument that formally

**[00:15:59.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000222)  
documents the condonation of

**[00:16:01.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000223)  
the qualified agrarian debt

**[00:16:03.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000224)  
and the release of the corresponding

**[00:16:05.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000225)  
mortgage. This was

**[00:16:07.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000226)  
a historic first for

**[00:16:09.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000227)  
the Department. We continued

**[00:16:12.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000228)  
to strengthen our land distribution

**[00:16:14.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000229)  
program. We were able

**[00:16:15.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000230)  
to distribute 102,536

**[00:16:19.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000231)

covering

benefiting 88,310

**[00:16:29.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000236)  
agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:16:33.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000237)  
This accomplishment

**[00:16:34.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000238)  
represented a 581%

**[00:16:37.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000239)  
increase over the baseline

**[00:16:38.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000240)  
period.

**[00:16:40.600] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000241)  
In 2025,

**[00:16:42.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000242)  
the Department significantly accelerated

**[00:16:45.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000243)  
both land distribution

**[00:16:47.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000244)  
and debt condonation.

**[00:16:49.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000245)  
We distributed

**[00:16:50.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000246)  
199,838

**[00:16:54.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000247)  
land titles

**[00:16:55.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000248)  
covering 302,540

**[00:16:58.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000249)  
hectares,

**[00:16:59.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000250)  
and benefiting

**[00:17:00.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000251)  
176,202

**[00:17:04.460] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000252)  
agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:17:07.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000253)  
This represents

**[00:17:08.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000254)  
1,133%

**[00:17:11.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000255)  
increase over the baseline

**[00:17:13.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000256)  
period. More importantly,

**[00:17:16.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000257)  
we distributed

**[00:17:17.620] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000258)  
252,953

**[00:17:21.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000259)

with release of mortgage

**[00:17:25.520] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000261)  
or COCROM with a total

**[00:17:27.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000262)  
amount condoned of approximately

**[00:17:29.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000263)  
35.69 billion.

**[00:17:32.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000264)  
These figures

**[00:17:34.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000265)  
demonstrate the scale

**[00:17:36.260] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000266)  
of the reform being implemented

**[00:17:38.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000267)  
by the Department.

**[00:17:40.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000268)  
For our farmers, however,

**[00:17:42.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000269)  
these are not merely

**[00:17:44.160] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000270)  
numbers. Every

**[00:17:46.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000271)  
certificate of condonation

**[00:17:48.040] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000272)  
represents a family relieved

**[00:17:50.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000273)  
from financial burden.

**[00:17:52.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000274)  
Every title represents

**[00:17:54.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000275)  
greater security.

**[00:17:56.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000276)  
And every hectare represents

**[00:17:58.460] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000277)  
an opportunity for a better future.

**[00:17:59.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000278)  
For our beneficiaries,

**[00:18:01.340] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000279)  
to build a more secure future

**[00:18:03.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000280)  
and success in our

**[00:18:05.600] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000281)  
national food security program.

**[00:18:09.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000282)  
This brings

**[00:18:10.380] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000283)  
to the central

**[00:18:11.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000284)

Pursuant to

**[00:18:15.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000286)  
Republic Act 11953,

**[00:18:18.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000287)  
DAR was mandated

**[00:18:19.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000288)  
to complete debt condonation

**[00:18:21.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000289)  
process by June 30,

**[00:18:24.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000290)  
2026.

**[00:18:26.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000291)  
And we have fully complied

**[00:18:27.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000292)  
with this deadline, ladies and gentlemen.

**[00:18:29.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000293)  
As to the distribution

**[00:18:32.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000294)  
of the certificates of condonation

**[00:18:34.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000295)  
and release of mortgage,

**[00:18:36.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000296)  
the remaining distribution

**[00:18:38.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000297)  
is now limited to

**[00:18:40.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000298)  
BARM area, which is

**[00:18:42.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000299)  
in its final stage of

**[00:18:44.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000300)  
completion. This is

**[00:18:46.260] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000301)  
fully aligned with the directive of

**[00:18:48.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000302)  
President Ferdinand R.

**[00:18:50.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000303)  
Marcos Jr. during his

**[00:18:51.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000304)  
2026 State of the Nation address.

**[00:18:54.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000305)  
We must

**[00:18:56.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000306)  
complete this year.

**[00:18:58.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000307)  
And that's

**[00:18:59.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000308)  
this is a

**[00:19:01.840] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000309)  
responsibility that DAR takes

**[00:19:03.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000310)  
with the highest sense of urgency

**[00:19:06.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000311)  
and accountability.

**[00:19:09.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000312)  
Nagawa po natin yan.

**[00:19:10.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000313)  
Nakapag-comply po tayo.

**[00:19:13.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000314)  
Everything has been

**[00:19:14.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000315)  
validated already, except that

**[00:19:16.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000316)  
in the BARM area,

**[00:19:18.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000317)  
we were not yet able

**[00:19:20.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000318)  
to

**[00:19:21.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000319)  
distribute the

**[00:19:23.840] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000320)  
COCROMs there.

**[00:19:25.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000321)  
We would rather wait for the

**[00:19:28.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000322)  
elections to be over.

**[00:19:29.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000323)  
Then we will distribute the COCROMs.

**[00:19:31.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000324)  
Anyway,

**[00:19:33.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000325)  
these remaining certificates

**[00:19:35.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000326)  
of condonation and release of

**[00:19:37.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000327)

validated already.

We distributed

**[00:19:44.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000330)  
and this brings

**[00:19:47.930] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000331)  
us to the central priority

**[00:20:30.950] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000349)  
For 2026,

**[00:20:33.090] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000350)  
DAR received a significantly

**[00:20:34.570] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000351)  
higher appropriation

**[00:20:36.310] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000352)  
of 16.849 billion.

**[00:20:39.350] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000353)  
The increase in resources

**[00:20:41.590] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000354)  
reflects the scale and urgency

**[00:20:43.670] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000355)  
of the programs being

**[00:20:45.610] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000356)  
implemented by the Department,

**[00:20:47.850] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000357)  
particularly the continuing

**[00:20:49.390] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000358)  
implementation of the new

**[00:20:51.450] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000359)  
Agrarian Emancipation Act

**[00:20:53.210] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000360)  
and our broader efforts to

**[00:20:55.330] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000361)  
strengthen land tenure security,

**[00:20:58.010] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000362)  
agrarian justice delivery,

**[00:21:00.090] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000363)  
and support services.

**[00:21:02.170] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000364)  
The Department's programs

**[00:21:03.730] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000365)  
continue to be anchored

**[00:21:05.310] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000366)  
on three

**[00:21:06.310] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000367)  
fundamental pillars.

**[00:21:07.850] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000368)  
The land tenure security,

**[00:21:10.110] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000369)  
agrarian justice delivery,

**[00:21:12.750] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000370)  
and support services.

**[00:21:14.910] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000371)  
These pillars therefore represent

**[00:21:17.910] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000372)  
the Department's comprehensive approach

**[00:21:20.190] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000373)  
to agrarian reform,

**[00:21:22.030] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000374)  
not only providing land,

**[00:21:24.110] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000375)  
but ensuring that our beneficiaries

**[00:21:26.590] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000376)  
have the legal protection,

**[00:21:28.270] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000377)  
resources,

**[00:21:29.550] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000378)  
and opportunities necessary

**[00:21:32.150] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000379)  
to prosper.

**[00:21:33.350] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000380)  
We now proceed to the program pillar.

**[00:21:36.730] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000381)  
We now proceed to the program pillar,

**[00:21:38.250] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000382)  
which is the land tenure security.

**[00:21:41.330] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000383)  
As of August 12, 2026,

**[00:21:45.170] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000384)  
under the Marcos administration alone,

**[00:21:48.250] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000385)  
from July 2022 to August 12, 2026,

**[00:21:52.850] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000386)  
DAR has distributed 410,179 titles,

**[00:21:59.370] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000387)  
covering 556,088 hectares

**[00:22:03.570] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000388)  
and benefiting 376,738

**[00:22:05.570] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000389)  
agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:22:11.730] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000392)  
The annual figures also show

**[00:22:13.890] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000393)  
a sustained upward trajectory.

**[00:22:16.930] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000394)  
From 21,876 titles in 2022,

**[00:22:21.990] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000395)  
we increased to 69,897 in 2023,

**[00:22:26.290] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000396)  
We increased to 69,897 in 2023,

**[00:22:28.230] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000397)  
102,536 in 2024,

**[00:22:32.570] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000398)  
and 199,838 titles in 2025.

**[00:22:35.230] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000400)  
This sustained increase demonstrates the Department's determination to accelerate land distribution and provide beneficiaries with stronger tenure security.

**[00:22:51.370] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000401)  
The same commitment is reflected in our implementation of the Debt Condonation Program.

**[00:22:56.150] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000402)  
As of August 12, 2026, DAR has distributed a cumulative 703,047 COC ROMs.

**[00:23:05.230] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000403)  
Covering 901,246 hectares with a total amount condoned by approximately 54.70 billion.

**[00:23:18.810] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000404)  
Under Republic Act 11953, the identified scope covers 620,255 ARBs representing 1,184,635.

**[00:23:35.230] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000405)  
And approximately 57.76 billion in agrarian debt.

**[00:23:42.610] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000406)  
As we move toward completion, the Department remains focused on reaching every qualified beneficiary covered by the law.

**[00:23:51.150] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000407)  
This is the concrete expression of the President's directives that we complete the debt condonation process this year.

**[00:24:06.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000408)  
For fiscal year 2020,

**[00:24:09.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000409)  
With regards to agrarian justice delivery, the second pillar is agrarian justice delivery.

**[00:24:17.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000410)  
Agrarian reform cannot be complete if farmers have land but cannot obtain timely and accessible justice when disputes arise.

**[00:24:29.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000411)  
The Department therefore continues to strengthen its legal mechanisms to ensure that the agrarian disputes are resolved fairly,

**[00:24:38.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000412)  
efficiently, and effectively.

**[00:24:39.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000413)  
Our objective is clear to reduce case backlogs, improve the efficiency of legal processes, and bring justice closer to our farmers and other agrarian stakeholders.

**[00:24:59.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000414)  
This slide presents the performance of the agrarian implementation or ALI cases.

**[00:25:08.380] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000415)  
In 2022,

**[00:25:10.760] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000416)  
out of 7,644 cases,

**[00:25:15.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000417)  
there are resolved 9,123 representing 119 resolution rate.

**[00:25:22.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000418)  
Now you might be wondering,

**[00:25:24.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000419)  
bakit mas malaki yung case resolved kaysa sa case load?

**[00:25:27.340] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000420)  
Because we discovered that hindi lang pala 7,644 ang case load natin.

**[00:25:35.040] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000421)  
We discovered that there were many other cases that we,

**[00:25:40.760] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000422)  
that are pending and we resolved it also.

**[00:25:43.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000423)  
That's why we reached 119.

**[00:25:45.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000424)  
In 2022, we reached 119% rate.

**[00:25:54.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000425)  
In 2023,

**[00:26:00.380] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000426)  
out of 19,847 cases,

**[00:26:04.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000427)  
we resolved 16,308 cases or 82%.

**[00:26:08.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000428)  
In 2024,

**[00:26:10.660] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000429)  
out of 23,273,

**[00:26:14.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000430)  
we resolved 21,183 cases equivalent to 91 percent.

**[00:26:21.520] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000431)  
In 2025, last year,

**[00:26:23.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000432)  
out of 18,941 cases,

**[00:26:27.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000433)  
we resolved 16,984 cases or 90%.

**[00:26:32.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000434)  
And from January to July of this year,

**[00:26:36.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000435)  
we resolved 8,389 cases

**[00:26:40.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000436)  
out of 13,048

**[00:26:44.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000437)  
cases or 64.29%.

**[00:26:48.840] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000438)  
29%.

**[00:26:50.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000439)  
These figures reflect

**[00:26:53.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000440)  
the continuing efforts

**[00:26:55.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000441)  
of the department to address

**[00:26:56.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000442)  
agrarian legal concerns

**[00:26:58.760] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000443)  
and

**[00:26:59.760] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000444)  
move toward our goal

**[00:27:02.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000445)  
of a more efficient and

**[00:27:04.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000446)  
responsive

**[00:27:05.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000447)  
justice system.

**[00:27:08.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000448)  
If you will notice,

**[00:27:10.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000449)  
the caseload,

**[00:27:12.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000450)  
yun po caseload natin

**[00:27:14.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000451)  
e pababa ng pababa.

**[00:27:16.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000452)  
That is because

**[00:27:17.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000453)  
we are patterning our

**[00:27:20.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000454)  
in addressing these cases,

**[00:27:23.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000455)  
we copied the barangay

courts

**[00:27:26.160] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000457)  
wherein instead

of clogging the RTCs

**[00:27:30.660] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000459)  
and the MTCs and the RTCs,

**[00:27:33.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000460)  
we already

**[00:27:34.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000461)  
initiated some mediation

**[00:27:36.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000462)  
in the grassroot level. Kaya

Similarly,

the Department of Agrarian Reform

**[00:27:53.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000471)

From January to June

**[00:28:56.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000501)  
2026, we resolved

**[00:28:58.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000502)

the Department's continuing commitment

**[00:29:12.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000509)  
to strengthen the legal,

ethical foundations of agrarian reform

**[00:29:16.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000511)  
and ensure that disputes involving

farmers, beneficiaries,

agrarian reform

does not end

**[00:29:40.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000522)  
with the award of land.

**[00:29:42.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000523)  
Our responsibility is to help

**[00:29:44.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000524)  
ensure that our beneficiaries are

**[00:29:46.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000525)  
equipped with the resources, knowledge,

**[00:29:48.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000526)  
infrastructure, technology,

**[00:29:50.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000527)  
and market opportunities

**[00:29:52.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000528)  
necessary to make

**[00:29:54.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000529)  
their land productive and

**[00:29:56.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000530)  
their organizations sustainable.

**[00:29:58.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000531)  
Under this pillar,

**[00:29:59.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000532)  
DAR continues to provide support that enables our farmers not only to own land, but to make a viable and sustainable livelihood from it.

**[00:30:11.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000533)  
One of the important forms of support is irrigation.

**[00:30:14.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000534)  
From July 2022 to July 2026, DAR has facilitated 285 irrigation projects, of which 233 have been completed and 52 are ongoing.

**[00:30:28.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000535)  
These projects amount to P5.02 billion covering 34,711.74 hectares and benefiting 40,775 farmer beneficiaries.

**[00:30:46.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000536)  
Importantly, the majority of these irrigation facilities are solar-powered, providing a more sustainable and cost-efficient source of water.

**[00:30:58.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000537)  
Beyond increasing productivity, these also help reduce the time and effort required for water access, particularly for women involved in farming and household activities.

**[00:31:14.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000538)  
Through reliable and sustainable water infrastructure, we help farmers improve production, reduce vulnerability to weather conditions, and maximize the productive potential.

**[00:31:28.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000539)  
We have also continued to improve physical connectivity through farm-to-market roads.

**[00:31:36.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000540)  
From July 2022 to July 2026, DAR has completed 537 farm-to-market roads nationwide, covering a total distance of 435.807 kilometers and benefiting 155,123 agrarian reform.

**[00:31:58.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000541)  
There are also 89 ongoing projects covering approximately 108.351 kilometers and benefiting 26,953 ARBs.

**[00:32:14.620] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000542)  
These roads help address one of the persistent challenges faced by farmers, bringing their produce from the farm to the market.

**[00:32:25.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000543)  
Better connectivity means reduced transport costs.

**[00:32:28.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000544)  
Transportation difficulties improve access to markets and greater opportunities for our beneficiaries to increase their income.

**[00:32:38.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000545)  
Modern agriculture requires modern tools.

**[00:32:48.240] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000546)  
As part of our support services, DAR has distributed 13,009 farm machineries and equipment, including support facilities, benefiting 3,207 agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:33:03.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000547)  
These interventions are intended to improve productivity, reduce production costs, and strengthen the capacity of ARB organizations to undertake agricultural activities at a more efficient and competitive scale.

**[00:33:20.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000548)  
Our objective is to ensure that the land awarded to our beneficiaries is supported by the appropriate resources to make it productive and sustainable.

**[00:33:33.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000549)  
Capacity building remains as one of the most important investments we make for our agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:33:43.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000550)  
From July 2022 to July 2026, DAR recorded 1,605,635 training participants in terms of service count.

**[00:33:57.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000551)  
This training goes beyond seminars.

**[00:33:59.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000552)  
They prepare our farmers and their organizations.

**[00:34:03.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000553)  
To succeed and endure.

**[00:34:04.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000554)  
We have learned that many agriculture-based cooperatives do not fail because of a lack of dedication or hard work.

**[00:34:15.180] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000555)  
They fail because they lack three critical foundations, financial, technical, and managerial skills.

**[00:34:23.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000556)  
We are equipping our beneficiaries not only to cultivate the land, but also to manage their finances responsibly,

**[00:34:31.620] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000557)  
adapt modernly,

**[00:34:33.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000558)  
implement technologies,

**[00:34:34.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000559)  
lead their cooperatives effectively,

**[00:34:37.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000560)  
and build sustainable enterprises.

**[00:34:40.260] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000561)  
Enthusiasm may start a cooperative,

**[00:34:43.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000562)  
but knowledge and good management keep it alive.

**[00:34:47.520] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000563)  
This is the kind of empowerment we want to leave behind,

**[00:34:51.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000564)  
not just productive farms,

**[00:34:53.840] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000565)  
but capable farmers who can sustain their progress for generations.

**[00:35:00.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000569)  
Access to capital is equally important in enabling our farmers to become economically independent.

**[00:35:07.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000570)  
From July 2022 to July 2026,

**[00:35:11.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000571)  
DAR has facilitated access to credit and microfinance services

**[00:35:15.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000572)  
for 674,282 agrarian reform beneficiaries, service count beneficiaries.

**[00:35:25.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000573)  
Access to affordable financing provides farmers with opportunities to invest in production,

**[00:35:31.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000574)  
acquire necessary inputs,

**[00:35:34.460] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000575)  
improve their enterprises,

**[00:35:36.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000576)  
and expand their economic activities.

**[00:35:39.040] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000577)  
Ultimately, our goal is to help build financially capable

**[00:35:43.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000578)  
and self-reliant farmers who can contribute more significantly

**[00:35:48.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000579)  
to the development of their communities and the nation.

**[00:35:53.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000580)  
Marketing assistance is another important component

**[00:35:56.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000581)  
of our support to agrarian reform beneficiaries organization.

**[00:36:01.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000582)  
From July 2022 to July 2026,

**[00:36:04.460] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000583)  
DAR has linked 4,934 ARB organizations to market opportunities,

**[00:36:14.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000584)  
benefiting 1,041,308 ARBs in terms of service count

**[00:36:21.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000585)  
and generating 28.98 billion in total sales.

**[00:36:27.040] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000586)  
These gains are supported through various enterprise development and market linkage,

**[00:36:34.460] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000587)  
initiatives that help ARBOS strengthen their enterprises,

**[00:36:38.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000588)  
develop their products,

**[00:36:39.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000589)  
and gain more reliable access to markets.

**[00:36:43.380] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000590)  
We also partner with institutional buyers from both the public and private sectors,

**[00:36:49.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000591)  
creating more direct and sustainable market opportunities for our ARBOS.

**[00:36:55.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000592)  
By creating these more direct market linkages,

**[00:36:59.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000593)  
we help reduce the exposure of our farmers to predatory pricing,

**[00:37:04.240] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000594)  
and provide them with better opportunities to negotiate

**[00:37:07.460] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000595)  
and sell their products at fairer prices.

**[00:37:12.160] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000596)  
Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that the productivity gains of our beneficiaries

**[00:37:17.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000597)  
are translated into actual income,

**[00:37:20.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000598)  
stronger enterprises, and more sustainable livelihoods.

**[00:37:25.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000599)  
Another important initiative is the Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty, or PAHAP, project.

**[00:37:32.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000600)  
The program connects agrarians,

**[00:37:34.240] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000601)  
agrarian reform beneficiary organizations directly with government and private institutions

**[00:37:39.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000602)  
as suppliers of nutritious agricultural products,

**[00:37:43.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000603)  
including rice, vegetables, and other commodities.

**[00:37:51.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000604)  
This creates a direct link between farmers and institutional markets,

**[00:37:56.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000605)  
bypassing middlemen who engage in predatory pricing,

**[00:38:00.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000606)  
and ensuring farmers receive a more patriotic pricing for their produce.

**[00:38:06.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000607)  
From July 2022 to July 2026,

**[00:38:12.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000608)  
the program has generated approximately 9.972 billion in total gross sales.

**[00:38:20.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000609)  
It has linked 448 ARBOS to institutional markets

**[00:38:25.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000610)  
and served 13,440 ARBs with nationwide coverage.

**[00:38:31.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000611)  
The project is funded through the General Appropriations Act,

**[00:38:35.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000612)  
with a total project fund of approximately 208 million.

**[00:38:41.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000613)  
This demonstrates that government support can go beyond production.

**[00:38:46.840] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000614)  
By connecting farmers directly to markets,

**[00:38:49.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000615)  
we create opportunities for increased income,

**[00:38:52.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000616)  
stronger organizations, and more sustainable agricultural enterprises.

**[00:38:59.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000617)  
We now proceed to the department's budget performance and proposed allocation

**[00:39:05.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000618)  
for fiscal year 2027.

**[00:39:09.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000619)  
We subscribe to the principle that government spending,

**[00:39:13.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000620)  
when properly and efficiently implemented,

**[00:39:17.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000621)  
serves as a means of pump-priming the economy,

**[00:39:22.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000622)  
particularly when public resources translate into quality and meaningful investments.

**[00:39:30.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000623)  
In DAR, our programs and projects are therefore designed not only to deliver services,

**[00:39:35.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000624)  
to our agrarian reform beneficiaries,

**[00:39:38.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000625)  
but also to generate productive economic activity in the countryside.

**[00:39:44.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000626)  
Through our budget, we seek to ensure that every peso entrusted to the department

**[00:39:50.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000627)  
is spent efficiently, responsibly, and with the highest level of accountability.

**[00:39:57.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000628)  
Let us now look at our Budget Utilization Rate, or BUR.

**[00:40:03.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000629)  
In fiscal year 2023,

**[00:40:05.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000630)  
against an allotment of 17.49 billion,

**[00:40:10.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000631)  
DAR posted an obligation rate of 74% and a disbursement rate of 82%.

**[00:40:18.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000632)  
In fiscal year 2024,

**[00:40:21.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000633)  
against an allocation of 17.385 billion,

**[00:40:26.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000634)  
DAR posted an obligation rate of 88.67%

**[00:40:32.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000635)  
and a disbursement rate of 75%.

**[00:40:34.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000636)  
In fiscal year 2025,

**[00:40:39.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000637)  
with an allotment of 20.55 billion,

**[00:40:44.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000638)  
our obligation rate improved to 91.49%,

**[00:40:49.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000639)  
while our disbursement rate increased to 74.65%.

**[00:40:56.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000640)  
For fiscal year 2026, as of June,

**[00:40:59.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000641)  
our total allotment stood at 18.379 billion.

**[00:41:05.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000644)  
At mid-year, we recorded an obligation rate of 47%

**[00:41:10.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000645)  
and a disbursement rate of 70%.

**[00:41:14.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000646)  
This reflects that activities and services benefiting our agrarian reform beneficiaries

**[00:41:21.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000647)  
have been timely delivered.

**[00:41:23.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000648)  
These figures tell us two things.

**[00:41:28.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000649)  
First, the department has demonstrated that it can absorb and use the resources of the government.

**[00:41:36.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000652)  
Second, there remains room to further strengthen the pace of implementation,

**[00:41:42.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000653)  
particularly in translating allotments into obligations and obligations into actual disbursements.

**[00:41:51.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000654)  
As of mid-year, our obligation rate stands at 47%,

**[00:41:56.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000655)  
while our disbursement rate is already at 70%.

**[00:42:01.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000659)  
While we recognize the need to accelerate our disbursement rate,

**[00:42:07.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000660)  
it is positive indication that our existing obligations

**[00:42:11.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000661)  
are being translated into actual payments and program delivery.

**[00:42:16.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000662)  
For the remaining months of fiscal year 2026,

**[00:42:20.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000663)  
our task is clear—

**[00:42:23.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000664)  
accelerate implementation without sacrificing accountability and compliance.

**[00:42:30.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000665)  
is not spending for the sake of spending.

**[00:42:33.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000666)  
Our goal is responsible and judicious utilization

**[00:42:38.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000667)  
where every obligation represents a real commitment

**[00:42:43.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000668)  
and every disbursement represents an actual accomplishment

**[00:42:47.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000669)  
delivered to our beneficiaries.

**[00:42:51.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000670)  
Against this performance backdrop,

**[00:42:54.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000671)  
we now move to our proposed budget for fiscal year 2027.

**[00:42:59.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000672)  
The Department of Agrarian Reform has a total fiscal year 2027

**[00:43:06.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000673)  
national expenditure program of approximately 16.935 billion.

**[00:43:13.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000674)  
This represents the resources that will support

**[00:43:20.620] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000675)  
the Department's continuing implementation of agrarian reform

**[00:43:25.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000676)  
from securing land tenure and delivering agrarian justice

**[00:43:29.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000677)  
to providing support services to the people.

**[00:43:31.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000678)  
and implementing projects.

**[00:43:34.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000679)  
But this amount must again be viewed in terms of what we intend to accomplish with it.

**[00:43:42.100] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000680)  
What we in DAR continuously ask is,

**[00:43:46.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000681)  
how do we ensure that this 16.935 billion

**[00:43:50.160] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000682)  
produces the greatest possible value for our agrarian reform beneficiaries?

**[00:43:56.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000683)  
That requires sound planning,

**[00:44:01.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000684)  
disciplined financial management,

**[00:44:03.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000685)  
timely procurement,

**[00:44:05.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000686)  
reliable information systems

**[00:44:07.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000687)  
and strong accountability at every level of the Department,

**[00:44:12.220] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000688)  
and of course the support of our distinguished lawmakers.

**[00:44:16.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000689)  
Thank you in advance for your support.

**[00:44:21.380] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000690)  
Let us now break down the 16.935 billion fiscal year 2027.

**[00:44:34.350] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000691)  
Next.

**[00:44:36.830] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000692)  
According to expense class, approximately 7.066 billion or 41.72% is allocated for personal services.

**[00:44:50.310] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000693)  
Another 8.61 billion or 50.90% is allocated for maintenance and other operating expenses.

**[00:45:00.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000694)  
While 1.249 billion or 7.37% is allocated for capital outlays.

**[00:45:08.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000695)  
So, makikita po natin dito, mas maliit po ang kapital, mas malaki ang kita kung iahambing natin sa isang negosyo.

**[00:45:18.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000696)  
Hindi po shortchains ang ating government dito.

**[00:45:22.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000697)  
The largest share goes to MOOE which supports the actual implementation and day-to-day delivery of the department's programs and activities.

**[00:45:33.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000698)  
Personal services, meanwhile, provides the human resources necessary to carry out our mandate from the central office down to our regional, provincial, and municipal offices.

**[00:45:46.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000699)  
Capital outlays support necessary investments that strengthen the department's operations.

**[00:45:52.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000700)  
What is important is that these components work together.

**[00:46:00.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000701)  
We need people, we need operational resources, and we need the systems, equipment, and facilities that allow our people to work effectively.

**[00:46:10.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000702)  
Our responsibility is to ensure that this mix of resources remains aligned with the department's priorities and delivers the maximum benefit to our state.

**[00:46:22.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000703)  
As we look toward fiscal year 2027, our direction remains clear.

**[00:46:32.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000704)  
Sustain the gains we have achieved, complete our remaining debt condonation obligations, continue land distribution and strengthen tenure security, expand access to agrarian justice, and ensure that our beneficiaries have the means to make their land productive and sustainable.

**[00:46:52.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000705)  
For land tenure security, DAR will sustain the upward trajectory of distribution of split e-titles and remaining land titles, including CLOAS, and continue the implementation of Executive Order No. 75 Series of 2019.

**[00:47:12.260] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000706)  
We will also complete the distribution of the remaining certificates of condonation with the release of mortgage in the Bangsa-Moro Autonomous Region.

**[00:47:23.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000707)  
At the same time, we will strengthen engagement with stakeholders to accelerate the resolution of issues affecting the documentation of remaining land holdings.

**[00:47:36.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000708)  
Finally, the department will establish a more accurate and reliable inventory and data system through comprehensive digitalization of land distribution and tenure security records.

**[00:47:48.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000709)  
These measures are essential to ensuring that land distribution

**[00:47:52.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000710)  
is not only accelerated but properly documented, transparent, and sustainable.

**[00:48:01.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000711)  
For agrarian justice delivery, the Department will continue to streamline legal processes

**[00:48:07.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000712)  
and reduce delays in case resolution.

**[00:48:11.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000713)  
The implementation of the Electronic Certificate of No Pending Appeal or e-CONA system

**[00:48:18.520] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000714)  
will help address delays in the issuance of Certificates of No Pending Appeal

**[00:48:24.620] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000715)  
and facilitate the resolution and termination of cases.

**[00:48:29.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000716)  
DAR will also strengthen the training and institutionalization of alternative dispute resolution methods

**[00:48:37.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000717)  
among its legal personnel with the objective of achieving mutually acceptable outcomes among parties.

**[00:48:44.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000718)  
Consistent with DAR Memorandum 198,

**[00:48:47.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000719)  
our field implementors will be encouraged to maximize the use of agrarian reform justice on wills or ARJAL,

**[00:48:59.260] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000720)  
bringing free, adequate, and effective legal assistance closer to our farmer beneficiaries,

**[00:49:07.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000721)  
agricultural lessees, landowners, and other stakeholders.

**[00:49:11.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000722)  
This is particularly important for farmers who may otherwise have to leave their areas

**[00:49:17.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000723)  
simply to access legal assistance.

**[00:49:21.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000724)  
The Department will also strengthen its legal workforce to help draft and fast-track the resolution of agrarian law implementation cases,

**[00:49:32.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000725)  
consistent with our zero-caseload policy.

**[00:49:36.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000726)  
Our objective is straightforward, timely, accessible, and fair justice for our agrarian reform stakeholders.

**[00:49:46.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000727)  
Ladies and gentlemen, we subscribe to the dictum that justice delayed is justice denied.

**[00:49:57.160] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000728)  
That's why we are full speed ahead of the resolution of the pending cases.

**[00:50:11.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000729)  
Finally, under agrarian reform beneficiaries development and sustainability,

**[00:50:16.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000730)  
the Department will continue transforming agrarian reform beneficiary organizations into self-sustaining cooperatives.

**[00:50:26.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000731)  
This will be supported through several key interventions.

**[00:50:30.700] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000732)  
First, we will strengthen access to capital so that organizations have the financial capacity to expand their enterprises.

**[00:50:39.960] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000733)  
Second, we will promote secure market integration through public-private partnerships.

**[00:50:46.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000734)  
Third, we will encourage technological adoption to improve productivity and competitiveness.

**[00:51:03.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000735)  
And fourth, we will strengthen institutional capacity building,

**[00:51:08.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000736)  
ensuring that ARB organizations are equipped with the leadership, management, and organizational capabilities

**[00:51:17.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000737)  
necessary to sustain their operations.

**[00:51:20.980] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000738)  
The objective is to move our beneficiaries beyond dependence on government assistance

**[00:51:27.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000739)  
toward greater self-reliance, productivity, and sustainability.

**[00:51:33.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000740)  
Honorable members of Congress, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

**[00:51:39.340] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000741)  
the fiscal year 2027 proposed budget of the Department of Agrarian Reform

**[00:51:47.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000743)  
It is ultimately about more than figures and appropriations.

**[00:51:51.340] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000744)  
It is about fulfilling our commitments, securing the land and rights of our farmers,

**[00:52:00.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000745)  
and completing the historic debt condonation program mandated by Republic Act 11953

**[00:52:07.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000746)  
and directed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.

**[00:52:12.520] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000747)  
With the resources entrusted to us,

**[00:52:18.800] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000749)  
We are committed to ensuring that every peso is translated into meaningful programs,

**[00:52:25.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000750)  
concrete services, and tangible benefits for our farmers and their families.

**[00:52:33.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000751)  
As we move forward, we remain guided by one enduring vision,

**[00:52:39.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000752)  
sariling lupa para sa bagong bukas na masagana.

**[00:52:44.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000753)  
Thank you for your patience. Maraming salamat po.

**[00:52:54.880] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000754)  
Maraming maraming salamat, Secretary Conrad Estrella,

**[00:52:59.400] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000755)  
for that detailed and comprehensive report on the agrarian reform.

**[00:53:06.360] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000756)  
May we now move on to interpolations and discussion.

**[00:53:11.480] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000757)  
May I remind our distinguished colleagues that each member is allotted five minutes for questions or interpolation,

**[00:53:19.740] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000758)  
excluding the responses of the resource persons.

**[00:53:23.060] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000759)  
When the bell sounds,

**[00:53:24.120] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000760)  
the member has 30 seconds to conclude.

**[00:53:27.640] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000761)  
Consistent with the long-standing practice of the House,

**[00:53:31.340] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000762)  
the Chair shall recognize minority, independent, and majority members in an alternating manner when practicable.

**[00:53:40.900] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000763)  
The Chair first recognizes the Honorable Representative Leila de Lima from the minority.

**[00:53:48.060] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000764)  
Ma'am?

**[00:53:49.340] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000765)  
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

**[00:53:52.020] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000766)  
Good afternoon.

**[00:53:52.780] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000767)  
Good afternoon.

**[00:53:52.980] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000768)  
Good afternoon.

**[00:53:54.120] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000769)  
Good afternoon to my colleagues and good afternoon to the DAR family, especially to the Secretary.

**[00:53:59.620] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000770)  
First, I wish to manifest for the record that I am fully supportive of the proposed budget for the DAR.

**[00:54:07.160] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000771)  
But I have, of course, issues to—I have questions to propound on certain issues.

**[00:54:13.200] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000772)  
I'm aware of the limited time.

**[00:54:14.740] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000773)  
I have only five minutes, so tingnan ko na lang po kung ilan ang makukover ng five minutes.

**[00:54:21.000] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000774)  
So, diretsuhan lang po tayo.

**[00:54:24.120] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000775)  
The split project.

**[00:54:26.360] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000776)  
Ano na po pinaka-status ng split?

**[00:54:28.300] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000777)  
Is it finished?

**[00:54:29.320] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000778)  
Is the World Bank loan exhausted?

**[00:54:32.440] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000779)  
Or did the department simply deprioritize the split?

**[00:54:37.040] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000780)  
The split is, of course, the support for parcelization for individual titling.

**[00:54:46.460] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000781)  
So, priority pa rin ho ba yung split project?

**[00:54:51.420] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000782)  
Is it still a DAR priority for 2027?

**[00:54:54.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000783)  
Yes, Your Honor.

**[00:54:58.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000784)  
It is still a priority.

**[00:55:00.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000785)  
In fact, we are moving full speed ahead with the split program.

**[00:55:06.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000786)  
And we are proud to say, Your Honor, that no less than the World Bank, because this is a World Bank-funded project,

**[00:55:17.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000787)  
no less than the World Bank have announced that one of the—

**[00:55:24.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000788)  
best, or if not the best-performing agencies,

**[00:55:29.040] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000789)  
one of the best, or if not the best agencies that are implementing World Bank-funded projects

**[00:55:37.140] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000790)  
is the Department of Agrarian Reform.

**[00:55:39.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000791)  
And we really have to concentrate on this, Your Honor, especially this year,

**[00:55:46.900] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000792)  
because this is going to expire next year.

**[00:55:50.320] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000793)  
December 31st, 2027.

**[00:55:54.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000794)  
And we really need this, Your Honor, because this helps us in the parcelization of the collective cloas that were distributed in the past.

**[00:56:07.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000795)  
And this collective cloas, as we all know, did not really accelerate the distribution of titles.

**[00:56:16.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000796)  
Rather, it created the confusion and even conflict among the agrarian reform beneficiaries.

**[00:56:24.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000797)  
Because, Your Honor, well, in the collective cloas, there was no parcelization to speak of.

**[00:56:34.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000798)  
It was not specified in the title.

**[00:56:38.820] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000799)  
One title bearing numerous owners, but they don't know which part—

**[00:56:43.400] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000800)  
So, doon nagkakaroon ng problema?

**[00:56:45.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000801)  
Doon nagkakaroon ng problema.

**[00:56:47.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000802)  
And that is why the split came about so that we can already start—

**[00:56:54.120] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000803)  
the parcelization.

**[00:56:56.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000804)  
And we have been successful so far, Your Honor.

**[00:56:58.620] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000805)  
So, the World Bank loan has not been exhausted yet?

**[00:57:01.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000806)  
No, it has not been exhausted.

**[00:57:03.640] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000807)  
They are very strict with the approval of the releases, Your Honor.

**[00:57:13.320] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000808)  
So, gusto ko po sana makakuha ng data for 2025 and 2026.

**[00:57:18.380] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000809)  
How many collective cloas were validated, parcels were surveyed,

**[00:57:22.820] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000810)  
and e-titles were generated?

**[00:57:24.120] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000811)  
And actually distributed compared with DAR's annual targets?

**[00:57:30.880] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000812)  
Can DAR provide the figures per region?

**[00:57:33.520] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000813)  
You don't have to produce it now, but if you have it now, I'd be happy to have that.

**[00:57:40.320] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000814)  
How much of the split loan has also been disbursed to date?

**[00:57:45.380] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000815)  
Kasi nga yung limited time left for you to complete the program or the project.

**[00:57:50.920] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000816)  
Doon naman po tayo sa LTSB budget.

**[00:57:54.120] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000817)  
Based on 2027 NEP, may budget allocation po ang DAR ng 4.10 billion

**[00:58:00.160] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000818)  
para sa Land Tenure Security Program or yung LTSB.

**[00:58:05.500] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000819)  
Pero may libu-libong ARBs pa rin po na owners on paper.

**[00:58:09.720] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000820)  
Dahil hindi nila actual na napapasok, nahahawakan,

**[00:58:14.260] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000821)  
o na lilinang ang mga lupang iginawad sa kanila.

**[00:58:18.780] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000822)  
Magkano po sa 4.10 billion pesos allocation

**[00:58:22.800] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000823)  
ang direktang—

**[00:58:24.120] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000824)  
ilalaan para tugunan ng mga backlog

**[00:58:27.200] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000825)  
sa installation, land acquisition, compensation, at enforcement.

**[00:58:33.920] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000826)  
At ilang hectares po, at higit sa lahat,

**[00:58:36.020] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000827)  
ilang hectares at ilang ARBs po

**[00:58:39.200] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000828)  
ang konkretong commitment ng DAR

**[00:58:41.960] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000829)  
na mailalagay sa actual na posesyon,

**[00:58:46.160] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000830)  
sa posesyon at control ng mga beneficiaries

**[00:58:48.560] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000831)  
sa ilalim ng programang ito.

**[00:58:51.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000832)  
Your Honor,

**[00:58:52.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000833)  
if you will allow it,

**[00:58:55.340] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000834)  
our Undersecretary for FOO will answer that concern.

**[00:58:59.880] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000835)  
Yes, please.

**[00:59:01.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000835-split-2)  
Thank you.

**[00:59:01.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000836)  
May I request that from the Chair

**[00:59:05.660] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000837)  
that Undersecretary Keisel Celeste be recognized.

**[00:59:12.460] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000838)  
Thank you, Your Honor.

**[00:59:13.760] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000839)  
Ay, Yusek Keisel Celeste, you're recognized.

**[00:59:17.120] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000840)  
Thank you, Your Honor.

**[00:59:18.120] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000841)  
Mr. Chair, based on the budgetary ceiling provided,

**[00:59:22.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000842)  
for by the DBM,

**[00:59:23.880] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000843)  
tayo po ay binigyan lang po tayo

**[00:59:26.440] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000844)  
ng about 20,000 hectares to be funded each year.

**[00:59:32.320] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000845)  
So based on this 20,000 hectares funded each year,

**[00:59:35.460] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000846)  
nagbibigay po tayo ng about, let's say,

**[00:59:38.120] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000847)  
rough figure po, nasa 10,000 pesos per hectare

**[00:59:41.300] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000848)  
ang funded po natin for LTSP

**[00:59:45.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000849)  
from documentation down to distribution, Mr. Chair.

**[00:59:48.680] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000850)  
10,000 per hectare. Is that sufficient?

**[00:59:52.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000851)  
No, ma'am.

**[00:59:53.080] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000852)  
Absolutely.

**[00:59:53.960] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000853)  
No, ma'am.

**[00:59:54.920] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000854)  
Okay. Pero yung proposal nyo, was it the one granted now sa NEP?

**[01:00:00.000] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000855)  
Is that the same as your proposed amount?

**[01:00:02.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000856)  
No, ma'am. We could propose definitely a higher target,

**[01:00:07.200] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000857)  
but based on the budgetary ceiling provided for by the DVM,

**[01:00:10.140] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000858)  
we are constrained to have it budgeted up until only about 20,000 hectares per year.

**[01:00:16.420] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000859)  
And that would cover how many hectares again?

**[01:00:19.500] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000860)  
About 20,000 to 22,000. One is to one, ma'am.

**[01:00:22.880] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000861)  
Pwede na siguro yun for 2027?

**[01:00:26.180] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000862)  
Not enough, ma'am.

**[01:00:27.420] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000863)  
Not enough, definitely.

**[01:00:28.460] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000864)  
Doon naman po tayo sa debt condonation.

**[01:00:31.240] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000865)  
Nag-report po ang DAR na 57.6 billion of farmers' obligations ang nakondone.

**[01:00:37.260] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000866)  
Can you confirm it?

**[01:00:39.100] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000867)  
57.76 billion.

**[01:00:42.060] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000868)  
Yes, Your Honor.

**[01:00:42.500] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000869)  
Kinabang umano ang mahigit 610,000 ARBs.

**[01:00:48.140] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000870)  
Yes, Your Honor.

**[01:00:49.520] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000871)  
Ilang ARBs na po ang actual na nakatanggap ng debt condonation hanggang sa kasalukuyan?

**[01:00:54.460] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000872)  
Nandito.

**[01:00:55.620] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000873)  
At ilang porsyento po ito ng kabuang bilang ng ELP?

**[01:00:58.460] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000874)  
Eligible beneficiaries.

**[01:01:03.650] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000875)  
She would like to answer it, Your Honor.

**[01:01:06.250] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000876)  
Go ahead, please.

**[01:01:08.050] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000877)  
Your Honor, as of date, we have already distributed about 703,000 COCROMs to our ARBs.

**[01:01:16.050] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000878)  
It was also reported that may ilang mga ARBs po ang hindi qualified para sa debt condonation.

**[01:01:25.630] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000879)  
At sa halip ay isinailalim na lang ng moratorium.

**[01:01:30.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000880)  
Ilang ARBs po ang hindi naisama sa condonation program?

**[01:01:35.410] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000881)  
At ano-ano po yung mga dahilan kung bakit hindi sila kasama?

**[01:01:39.210] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000882)  
What are the reasons for their exclusion?

**[01:01:42.430] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000883)  
At magkano po ang kabuang halaga ng utang na nanatili nilang kailangang bayaran?

**[01:01:47.210] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000884)  
Your Honor, based on the data that we have right now,

**[01:01:50.250] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000885)  
the only COCROMs that we have not yet distributed are the ones that have been,

**[01:01:56.610] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000886)  
that are supposed to be distributed in the BARMM area.

**[01:01:59.510] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000887)  
But based on...

**[01:02:00.830] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000888)  
Your question po.

**[01:02:02.410] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000889)  
We will definitely validate this issue on where some of our ARBs have not allegedly been issued cockrobs.

**[01:02:12.250] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000890)  
The reasons for the exclusion.

**[01:02:14.950] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000891)  
I suppose you have ideas why they have been excluded.

**[01:02:19.010] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000892)  
Ano po ba yung mga usual?

**[01:02:27.060] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000893)  
One of the reasons why these ARBs may have been excluded, Your Honor,

**[01:02:32.440] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000894)  
is that the implementation of RA 11953.

**[01:02:36.840] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000895)  
has actually, has a cut-off of up until July 2020, 2024.

**[01:02:45.840] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000896)  
So yung mga na-disqualify, yung mga exclude, hindi na sila umabot?

**[01:02:49.180] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000897)  
So wala nang ibang rason?

**[01:02:50.660] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-000898)  
This could be a possible reason, ma'am, but we will definitely validate and provide your office with a more detailed explanation for this.

**[01:02:59.060] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000899)  
I would appreciate that.

**[01:03:00.380] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000900)  
Doon naman po tayo sa agricultural land conversion.

**[01:03:02.720] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000901)  
Patuloy pa rin po ang reports ng illegal agricultural land.

**[01:03:06.840] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000902)  
Agricultural land conversion despite existing regulations.

**[01:03:10.320] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000903)  
Magkano po ang inilaan ng DAR para sa monitoring, detection, at enforcement laban sa illegal conversions?

**[01:03:18.940] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000904)  
At ilan na po ang mga kasong na-aksyonan at successfully resolved ng DAR sa nakalipas na tatlong taon?

**[01:03:27.160] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000905)  
So these are illegal land conversion because there are indeed reports on this.

**[01:03:31.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000906)  
Your Honor.

**[01:03:33.040] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000907)  
Secretary.

**[01:03:33.560] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000908)  
Let me say that...

**[01:03:37.380] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000909)  
The illegal conversions, I don't think the DAR have done this, Your Honor.

**[01:03:43.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000910)  
But definitely there are many local government units that have made their own conversion, Your Honor.

**[01:03:53.720] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000911)  
And we are communicating with them also.

**[01:03:57.420] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000912)  
I suppose DAR has been monitoring those cases of illegal land conversion.

**[01:04:01.920] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000913)  
And you must have data and certain information about this.

**[01:04:05.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000914)  
Yes, Your Honor.

**[01:04:05.700] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000915)  
And what do you do?

**[01:04:06.840] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000916)  
With regard to that, that you are...

**[01:04:08.040] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000917)  
We call their attention, Your Honor, that they have illegally converted these lands.

**[01:04:17.540] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000918)  
And then what happens next?

**[01:04:19.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000919)  
There are many, Your Honor, that they went back to DAR.

**[01:04:23.740] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000920)  
And they proceeded with the proper procedure, Your Honor.

**[01:04:31.280] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000921)  
In the first place, there's nothing to revoke because it is not...

**[01:04:35.480] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000922)  
Yes.

**[01:04:35.500] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000923)  
We don't recognize it.

**[01:04:36.840] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000924)  
Yes.

**[01:04:38.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000925)  
But we...

**[01:04:39.680] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000926)  
The others, we called their attention, Your Honor.

**[01:04:44.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000927)  
At least those that we have monitored.

**[01:04:46.940] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000928)  
And some of...

**[01:04:48.840] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000929)  
Many of them have complied so far, Your Honor.

**[01:04:51.880] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000930)  
Thank you for that.

**[01:04:52.600] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000931)  
How much time do I have?

**[01:04:54.900] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000932)  
Much time?

**[01:04:58.270] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000933)  
Hindi ko po nakikita yung timer.

**[01:05:00.070] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000934)  
You have 58 seconds, ma'am.

**[01:05:02.050] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000935)  
One minute.

**[01:05:03.050] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000936)  
One minute.

**[01:05:03.730] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000937)  
Okay.

**[01:05:03.970] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000938)  
So last...

**[01:05:05.970] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000939)  
Kasi one minute na lang.

**[01:05:07.590] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000940)  
I'd like to tackle...

**[01:05:08.570] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000941)  
The case of Sariaya, Quezon.

**[01:05:13.570] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000942)  
The Cloa Cancellation.

**[01:05:15.870] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000943)  
Buhay na kaso po ito, hindi ho ba?

**[01:05:19.070] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000944)  
Ang Cloa Cancellation at Land Conversion na nangyayari ngayon sa Sarayaya Quezon.

**[01:05:25.510] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000945)  
Based on reports.

**[01:05:27.290] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000946)  
May mga ulat po na ang mga magsasaka sa Manggalang Kiling,

**[01:05:31.230] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000947)  
Concepcion 1 at Concepcion Pinagbakuran

**[01:05:34.850] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000948)  
ay nawalan o posibleng mawalan ng kanilang mga Cloa.

**[01:05:38.570] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000949)  
So ang tanong ko po, ilang po, ilang Cloa po sa Sarayaya Quezon

**[01:05:43.350] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000950)  
ang na-revoke na o kasalukuyang subject to cancellation

**[01:05:47.150] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000951)  
at ilang ARBs po ang apektado?

**[01:05:52.410] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000952)  
Your Honor, with the permission of the Chairman and the members of the Appropriation Committee,

**[01:05:59.270] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-000953)  
our Undersecretary for Legal Concerns would address the concern, Your Honor.

**[01:06:08.570] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000954)  
Yes, please.

**[01:06:09.370] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000955)  
Of course.

**[01:06:11.130] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000956)  
Yusek Napoleon Galit.

**[01:06:14.510] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-000957)  
Thank you.

**[01:06:16.250] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000958)  
Magandang umaga po,

**[01:06:18.890] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000959)  
Presiding Officers and Honorable Madam Layla.

**[01:06:25.150] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000960)  
Iyong pong tungkol sa Sarayaya Quezon,

**[01:06:27.510] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000961)  
there was a decision by the Supreme Court in 2018

**[01:06:30.790] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000962)  
where the DAR coverage was nullified

**[01:06:34.670] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000963)  
because the reason,

**[01:06:37.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000964)  
the subject property was already exempted

**[01:06:40.570] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000965)  
prior to the implementation of the CARP law

**[01:06:46.190] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000966)  
which was on June 15, 1988.

**[01:06:49.430] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000967)  
So the legal consequence of which is that

**[01:06:53.030] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000968)  
our ARBs are facing the consequences of having their Cloas being cancelled.

**[01:07:01.530] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000969)  
Now, the reason why this Cloas,

**[01:07:04.750] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000970)  
despite the decision of the Supreme Court,

**[01:07:06.650] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000971)  
are not yet cancelled,

**[01:07:07.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000972)  
most of them, because we are trying to mediate on the part

**[01:07:13.410] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000973)  
for and on behalf of the farmers, Madam Layla.

**[01:07:17.590] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000974)  
For an instance, we are fighting for them

**[01:07:20.710] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000975)  
under the rights under Republic Act 1199

**[01:07:25.730] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000976)  
as amended by 1163

**[01:07:29.690] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000977)  
and as further amended by Republic Act 3844.

**[01:07:33.690] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000978)  
They are entitled to the security of the land.

**[01:07:37.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000979)  
They are entitled to tenure and the disturbance compensation to their blissful being the tenant's right.

**[01:07:47.590] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000980)  
Now, we are likewise conducting further mediation proceedings

**[01:07:53.990] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000981)  
between the land owners who seems to have won the victory at the Supreme Court level.

**[01:08:00.530] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000982)  
And that is why these farmers in Sarayaya Quezon

**[01:08:03.930] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000983)  
are still occupying the land

**[01:08:06.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000984)  
and still farming the land.

**[01:08:07.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000985)  
And we continue to mediate despite the loss that the farmers have suffered.

**[01:08:14.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000986)  
And of course, including the DAR in 2018

**[01:08:18.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000987)  
on account of that decision by the Supreme Court.

**[01:08:21.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000988)  
Madam Layla.

**[01:08:22.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000989)  
Just a follow-up question on that.

**[01:08:26.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000990)  
So, hindi ba pinapakita po nito na may gaps or deficiencies sa naging proseso ng DAR

**[01:08:32.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000991)  
sa original land acquisition validation?

**[01:08:36.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000992)  
At titling?

**[01:08:38.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000993)  
Kung mayroon po, ano ang mga hakbang ng DAR

**[01:08:41.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000994)  
para maitama ang mga pagkukulang na ito at maiwasang maulit ang ganito mga kaso?

**[01:08:47.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000995)  
Madam, Madam Layla.

**[01:08:50.830] Rep. Leila M. de Lima** (asr-000996)  
There must be some deficiencies or gaps there in the original.

**[01:08:54.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000997)  
The decision, the situation which brought about this kind of situation

**[01:09:02.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000998)  
was because

**[01:09:04.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-000999)  
in the implementation of the CARP law, Madam Layla,

**[01:09:09.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001000)  
the DAR normally is very desirous to cover every land holdings

**[01:09:17.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001001)  
which has the character of a private agricultural or a government agricultural land holdings.

**[01:09:23.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001002)  
Nonetheless, there are situations where after the coverage, the notice of coverage,

**[01:09:30.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001003)  
and in fact, very sadly stated,

**[01:09:33.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001004)  
even after CLUAS were issued,

**[01:09:35.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001005)  
where a particular land owner came up with evidence for an instance

**[01:09:42.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001006)  
of a reclassification issued by the local government units,

**[01:09:46.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001007)  
which has an affirmative approval from the DSOD,

**[01:09:50.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001008)  
recently DSOD before the HLURV or the NCV.

**[01:09:55.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001009)  
And that is the reason why in the exercise of adjudicatory power of DAR,

**[01:10:01.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001010)  
we adjudicate this case.

**[01:10:04.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001011)  
However, despite the fact that several farmers have won at the level of the Office of the Secretary before the DAR,

**[01:10:14.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001012)  
on appeal to the Court of Appeals and to the Supreme Court,

**[01:10:18.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001013)  
we lost the case.

**[01:10:19.830] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001014)  
This is the situation of the heirs of GALA versus the samahan ng mamamamayan ng saryaya.

**[01:10:29.530] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-001015)  
Your time is up, ma'am.

Yeah.

We elected si Speaker Lord Velasco.

**[01:13:22.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001048)  
He was the Deputy Speaker then.

**[01:13:24.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001049)  
So, congratulations, Sir.

**[01:13:27.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001050)  
But, Sir, I just have some verificatory questions,

**[01:13:35.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001052)  
It may sound, Sir, parokyal,

**[01:13:49.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001053)  
but this might be happening sa iba pong...

**[01:13:55.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001054)

**[01:13:56.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001055)  
Hindi lang po sa Camarines, Sir.

**[01:13:58.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001056)  
I think you are very much aware...

**[01:14:00.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001057)  
Pakiflash na yung ating ano.

**[01:14:02.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001058)  
Okay.

**[01:14:09.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001059)  
I think you are very much aware in the situation of si Roma.

**[01:14:13.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001060)  
There's a wanderlust title.

**[01:14:16.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001061)  
1,014.92 hectares property overlaps

**[01:14:20.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001062)  
with the holding of 537.53 hectares of alienable and disposable land.

**[01:14:28.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001063)  
438.5 hectares...

**[01:14:29.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001064)  
438.5 hectares of cloa.

**[01:14:33.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001065)  
And 341 hectares timberland.

**[01:14:37.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001066)  
At ang pinakamatindi po dito sa titulo ng wanderlust,

**[01:14:41.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001067)  
pati po dagat, bodies of water, may titulo.

**[01:14:46.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001068)  
Ganyan po yung ating sitwasyon.

**[01:14:48.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001069)  
So, first, may question sa DAR.

**[01:14:52.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001070)  
How many hectares of the Nara settlement in si Roma

**[01:14:56.310] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001071)

**[01:15:00.440] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001072)  
Overlap with Wonderlast title, TCT number 08202-400142.

**[01:15:12.430] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001073)  
Can someone answer my question?

**[01:15:15.930] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001074)  
RD?

**[01:15:22.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001075)  
I don't want to ask the Secretary, but there are a lot of things that are being done.

**[01:15:25.520] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-001076)  
Whoever is answering, please state your name and position.

**[01:15:40.330] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001077)  
Good morning, Mr. Chair and the rest of the committee members.

**[01:15:45.630] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001078)  
Sir, the total coverage of...

**[01:15:48.630] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001079)  
RD, can you sit down?

**[01:15:50.270] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001080)  
Mahaba po ito.

**[01:15:54.030] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001081)  
Pero kasha five minutes.

**[01:15:57.480] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001082)  
Thank you, sir.

**[01:15:58.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001083)  
Yung kabuan po nito na affected is around 745 hectares.

**[01:16:05.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001084)  
Wow.

**[01:16:06.840] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001085)  
Ang na-distribute na po natin dyan ay 155 individual titles.

**[01:16:12.160] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001086)  
And we still have around 600, I mean 677 hectares covering 63 collective titles

**[01:16:21.460] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001087)  
for public.

**[01:16:22.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001088)  
For partialization.

**[01:16:23.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001089)  
So, again, 1014, 745 ang may...

**[01:16:30.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001090)  
Nasa loob po, affected.

**[01:16:31.580] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001091)  
Affected.

**[01:16:32.280] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001092)  
Wow.

**[01:16:33.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001093)  
RD, what's the definition of NARA settlement?

**[01:16:38.520] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001094)  
It's a National Administration for Resettlement Area, which was a project by then President Ramon Magsaysay.

**[01:16:48.760] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001095)  
Is it under the administration of DAR?

**[01:16:51.460] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001096)  
Yes or no?

**[01:16:52.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001097)  
Yes, po.

**[01:16:53.400] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001098)  
Under Republica 6389, it was turned over to the DAR.

**[01:16:57.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001099)  
Well, the question is relevant because portions of the NARA settlement that are not yet covered by CLOA

**[01:17:02.580] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001100)  
have been specifically reserved distribution to the landless under said laws on agrarian reform.

**[01:17:11.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001101)  
RD, is it true that Wanderlust title overlaps with at least two barangay sites in Suroma, Camarinesburg?

**[01:17:18.960] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001102)  
Yes, sir.

**[01:17:19.740] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001103)  
That's a...

**[01:17:20.740] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001104)  
Salbasyon and San Ramon.

**[01:17:24.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001105)  
Would you know the population?

**[01:17:26.600] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001106)  
I'm sorry, sir.

**[01:17:27.900] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001107)  
Hindi ko po alam.

**[01:17:28.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001108)  
Okay.

**[01:17:29.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001109)  
Approximately 2,000.

**[01:17:30.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001110)  
And how many hectares covered by CLOA's and collective CLOA's overlap with Wanderlust title or TCT number 080202400142?

**[01:17:44.340] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001111)  
That's 63 collective CLOA's covering 677 hectares.

**[01:17:50.740] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001112)  
Is DAR's initial projection of 438.5 hectares worth of overlap accurate?

**[01:17:58.690] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001113)  
Yes, sir. That came from the projection surveyed by DNR.

**[01:18:04.570] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001114)  
How many individual ARBs are affected by the overlap with Wanderlust title?

**[01:18:10.970] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001115)  
That's around 276, sir.

**[01:18:18.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001116)  
Mr. Chair, can we ask the department to submit?

**[01:18:23.880] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001117)  
Yes, sir.

**[01:18:25.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001118)  
This of ARBs.

**[01:18:26.920] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001119)  
So, how many families again?

**[01:18:31.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001120)  
That's 276, sir.

**[01:18:33.460] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001121)  
How many ARBs are affected by Wanderlust fencing activities?

**[01:18:39.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001122)  
That's at the moment, sir, it's around 4 directly affected by the fencing activities.

**[01:18:44.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001123)  
A reading of Wanderlust title shows that it was issued on February 14, 2024 by Attorney Victoriano D. Caobang II.

**[01:18:55.640] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001124)  
R.O.D. of Camarines World.

**[01:18:58.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001125)  
Is this correct?

**[01:18:59.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001126)  
Do you have the knowledge?

**[01:19:00.940] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001127)  
Yes, sir.

**[01:19:01.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001128)  
Yes.

**[01:19:01.980] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001129)  
And on December 2025, DAR distributed a total of 3,497 land titles to 2,697 ARBs covering 5,929.36 hectares of agricultural land, including agricultural lands in Sonoma.

**[01:19:23.120] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001130)  
And the distribution was attended by...

**[01:19:25.640] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001131)  
By the DAR Secretary himself, Secretary Conrad Estrella, and the Governor of Camarines World.

**[01:19:32.460] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001132)  
Is this correct?

**[01:19:34.700] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001133)  
As far as I know, yes, sir.

**[01:19:36.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001134)  
Yes, because my point is, kung na-issue yung title ng Wanderlust noong February 2024,

**[01:19:45.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001135)  
bakit hindi sila nag-complain na nagbibigay ng CLOA si Secretary and the Governor sa mga beneficiaries?

**[01:19:55.640] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001136)  
I don't know if you can...

**[01:19:59.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001137)  
I cannot answer that, sir.

**[01:20:00.460] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001138)  
Yeah, I know.

**[01:20:02.420] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001139)  
Napaka-wildo, di ba?

**[01:20:04.280] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001140)  
Kasi kung ikaw may ari ng lupa, dapat wag mo nang ipamigay.

**[01:20:08.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001141)  
Tama?

**[01:20:10.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001142)  
So, at any time during after the distribution, did the Provincial Governor raise any concern to DAR regarding Wanderlust title, CLOA, and overlaps?

**[01:20:23.300] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001143)  
No, none, sir.

**[01:20:24.480] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001144)  
Walang angal.

**[01:20:25.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001145)  
Okay.

**[01:20:27.040] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001146)  
Please provide within the week the financial certified list and technical plotting or survey plan showing all CLOAs and collective CLOAs that overlap with Wanderlust title.

**[01:20:40.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001147)  
All portions of the NARA settlement that overlap with the Wanderlust title, kindly submit to this committee.

**[01:20:48.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001148)  
Okay.

**[01:20:49.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001149)  
Next question.

**[01:20:50.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001150)  
Are titles, OCT, TCTs, or CLOA issued to ARBs given equal treatment as title?

**[01:20:57.180] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001153)  
Yes, sir. That's OCT.

**[01:21:03.580] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001154)  
Yes. Free patent, sales patent, etc.

**[01:21:06.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001155)  
What is the official position of DAR regarding the overlap of Wanderlust title with CLOA issued to ARBs?

**[01:21:13.880] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001156)  
We are exploring, sir, the options that is at our office.

**[01:21:20.100] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001157)  
At the moment, po, there is an ALI case which has been filed by some ARBs.

**[01:21:27.040] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001158)  
It's a petition for, it's a disturbance of possession in the area affected by the fencing.

**[01:21:37.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001159)  
So, you saw the fencing?

**[01:21:39.720] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001160)  
Yes, sir.

**[01:21:40.320] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001161)  
Yes.

**[01:21:41.440] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001162)  
So, is DAR, is it the opinion of DAR, is DAR of the opinion that Wanderlust title is purious?

**[01:21:52.370] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001163)  
Theoretically.

**[01:21:54.650] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001164)  
At the moment, sir.

**[01:21:56.090] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001165)  
For example, sir.

**[01:21:58.390] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001166)  
At the moment, sir, we cannot.

**[01:22:04.170] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001167)  
Are we allowed na magkaroon ng titulo ang dagat?

**[01:22:10.690] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001168)  
Dagat, may titulo?

**[01:22:15.220] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-001169)  
Wala. Hindi po. Wala.

**[01:22:17.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001170)  
I'm just asking for your opinion. So, don't worry.

**[01:22:21.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001171)  
So, what's your opinion?

**[01:22:24.320] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001172)  
Any legal, sir?

**[01:22:29.180] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-001173)  
Usec Galit?

**[01:22:30.300] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001174)  
If given the permission by the, or should I say, okay.

**[01:22:34.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001175)  
Honorable sir, the topic you are touching is with regard to overlapping of titles.

**[01:22:42.540] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001176)  
There seems to be titles issued in favor of Wanderlust, while there are a lot of two was already issued also to our ARBs.

**[01:22:52.540] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001177)  
So, this is a case of two conflicting titles over the same parcel of land.

**[01:22:58.660] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001178)  
Yes.

**[01:22:58.920] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001179)  
In such a situation, under Republic Act 496, as amended by PD,

**[01:23:03.640] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001180)  
1529, one title must be cancelled.

**[01:23:07.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001181)  
Yes.

**[01:23:08.740] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001182)  
I am agreeable with the position of the honorable representative that forest land cannot be subject to titling,

**[01:23:20.140] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001183)  
as well as forest land cannot be subject to titling.

**[01:23:23.640] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001184)  
The remedy of that under Common Act 141, as amended by Presidential Decree 705,

**[01:23:31.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001185)  
is an action for reversion to the State

**[01:23:33.640] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001186)  
to be filed by the Office of the Solicitor General.

**[01:23:38.040] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001187)  
However, those CLOAs that were already issued on those portions that were found to be alienable and disposable,

**[01:23:44.940] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001188)  
they should remain free from whatever claims from the Wanderlust.

**[01:23:48.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001189)  
Thank you for that.

**[01:23:50.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001190)  
Thank you.

**[01:23:50.880] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001191)  
Yes.

**[01:23:51.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001192)  
And during its budget hearing last August 26,

**[01:23:55.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001193)  
the DENR stated that it's preparing to file a reversion case against Wanderlust in the second week of October 2026.

**[01:24:03.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001194)  
Yes.

**[01:24:03.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001195)  
Because Timberland was involved in that.

**[01:24:07.740] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001196)  
So, I know this is not your problem.

**[01:24:10.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001197)  
But we're going to file a bill.

**[01:24:13.480] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001198)  
Later I'll explain.

**[01:24:15.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001199)  
These two recovered at Timberland and bodies of other being claimed by Wanderlust under this questionable title.

**[01:24:21.500] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001200)  
Has the DNR coordinated with the DNR in relation to the reversion case that is set to be filed?

**[01:24:28.620] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001201)  
Considering the matter is interrelated.

**[01:24:30.880] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001202)  
The incident is ongoing coordination.

**[01:24:33.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001203)  
With the proper agency, your honor, the OSG and the DNR.

**[01:24:38.940] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001204)  
Yes.

**[01:24:39.460] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001205)  
We're still not at the OSG because we're still here for the survey.

**[01:24:44.120] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001206)  
That is an ongoing concern.

**[01:24:45.960] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001207)  
Asking consultation, your honor, to the OSG.

**[01:24:49.380] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001208)  
Yes, please.

**[01:24:50.080] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001209)  
Yes, please.

**[01:24:50.640] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001210)  
Kindly help us.

**[01:24:52.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001211)  
Does the ARB plan to file a similar case against Wanderlust?

**[01:24:57.060] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001212)  
Ensuring the protection of ARBs and their corresponding CLOAs.

**[01:25:00.840] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001213)  
Yes.

**[01:25:01.860] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001214)  
As far as the ARBs.

**[01:25:03.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001215)  
As far as the ARBs are concerned, DAR is mandated to protect the interests of our farmers.

**[01:25:07.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001216)  
Yes.

**[01:25:08.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001217)  
Do you have a timetable of filing a reversion case?

**[01:25:11.940] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001218)  
We are pursuing...

**[01:25:15.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001219)  
I'm just asking this, sir, with all due respect.

**[01:25:18.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001220)  
Because in the DNR, second week of October, you said you don't know.

**[01:25:22.400] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001221)  
We are completing the real situation of this partial of lands to be determined and segregated from the one only to proclaim as alienable and disposable.

**[01:25:31.860] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001222)  
Which went to the...

**[01:25:33.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001223)  
To our ARBs.

**[01:25:35.380] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001224)  
And those portions of lands that are foreshown and forest and timber lands,

**[01:25:41.160] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001225)  
which supposedly have been included in the title of the Wanderlust.

**[01:25:47.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001226)  
Okay.

**[01:25:47.580] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001227)  
Thank you, sir.

**[01:25:48.820] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001228)  
During its budget hearing also, again, with DNR,

**[01:25:52.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001229)  
stated that they do not find a copy of purported plan SI-2676,

**[01:25:57.600] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001230)  
the survey plan of Wanderlust.

**[01:26:00.420] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001231)  
I don't know if you can see the title, but there's no survey plan.

**[01:26:03.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001232)  
Did DAR try to locate a copy of this purported survey plan, SI-2676?

**[01:26:09.540] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001233)  
We're trying to dig further on this approved survey plan, Your Honor,

**[01:26:14.940] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001234)  
in view of the fact that the DNR normally does not approve original survey plan

**[01:26:22.000] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001235)  
on lands that are considered as foreshore, timber, and forest land.

**[01:26:28.700] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001236)  
And most specifically, Father, Your Honor,

**[01:26:33.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001237)  
the Wanderlust for the consumption of the committee

**[01:26:37.220] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001238)  
supposedly have filed a reconstitution of their title

**[01:26:42.120] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001239)  
under Republic Act 26, which is the statute governing reconstitution of those titles.

**[01:26:49.800] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001240)  
Nonetheless, it appearing that the basis of their constitution

**[01:26:54.440] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001241)  
was the supposed owner's duplicate copy of the title,

**[01:26:57.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001242)  
but when we're trying to look at the same, we cannot locate this ODC.

**[01:27:02.380] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001243)  
That's why...

**[01:27:03.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001244)  
Nagdududa rin po kami na spurious po talaga yung title.

**[01:27:08.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001245)  
How does the absence of this purported survey plan, SI-2676, affect Wanderlust alleged title?

**[01:27:16.920] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001246)  
It has a very great effect.

**[01:27:21.660] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001247)  
It attaches, it goes into the validity of their title.

**[01:27:27.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001248)  
Yes, thank you.

**[01:27:28.260] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001249)  
Only that we have jurisprudence, Your Honor,

**[01:27:31.660] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001250)  
that we cannot just...

**[01:27:33.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-001251)  
Yes, simply collaterally attack a particular title.

**[01:27:36.480] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001252)  
Yes, I totally agree with you.

**[01:27:39.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001253)  
But yung nangyari po kasi sa amin,

**[01:27:42.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001254)  
iba po, bigla na lang pong dumating na mga tao,

**[01:27:45.180] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001255)  
nag-fencing sila,

**[01:27:46.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001256)  
wala pong paintulot, wala pong sinabi sa mayor,

**[01:27:50.940] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001257)  
wala pong fencing permit,

**[01:27:52.880] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001258)  
hindi man lang po kinonsulta yung mga tao,

**[01:27:55.180] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001259)  
pag-ising na lang po nila,

**[01:27:57.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001260)  
ay may backwood na yung lugar nila.

**[01:28:00.920] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001261)  
Secretary, I'm just doing this because...

**[01:28:03.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001262)  
If you were in my shoes also,

**[01:28:06.240] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001263)  
I'm the congressman of the 4th District.

**[01:28:09.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001264)  
We are talking about yung ating mga farmers.

**[01:28:14.180] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001265)  
We are not talking about ordinary farmers.

**[01:28:17.640] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001266)  
We are talking about may hirap na farmers.

**[01:28:21.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001267)  
They plant for their own consumption.

**[01:28:24.060] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001268)  
And kung kayo rin sabihan ng isa na mag-asawang matanda na,

**[01:28:30.880] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001269)  
1950s congressman,

**[01:28:33.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001270)  
dito na po kami.

**[01:28:35.780] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001271)  
Ang lupa pala namin ay hindi na po amin.

**[01:28:40.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001272)  
That is where I am coming from.

**[01:28:43.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001273)  
Pero paubos na yung aking orahoy.

**[01:28:47.840] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001274)  
Paandar ka ng paandar.

**[01:28:51.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001275)  
So, eto na lang po.

**[01:28:53.940] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001276)  
Very last.

**[01:28:55.640] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001277)  
Dahil marami pa sana po akong itatanong.

**[01:28:59.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001278)  
But definitely,

**[01:29:00.440] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001279)  
I want to investigate this further.

**[01:29:05.380] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001280)  
Because, Secretary,

**[01:29:07.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001281)  
if I may,

**[01:29:10.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001282)  
I won't ask na.

**[01:29:12.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001283)  
Manifestasyon na lang.

**[01:29:14.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001284)  
We want to file a bill.

**[01:29:16.980] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001285)  
Napakalaki po ng problema natin.

**[01:29:18.820] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001286)  
It's not only for DAR, DNR, NAMRIAP.

**[01:29:21.700] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001287)  
Dapat isa lang po ang mapa po natin.

**[01:29:24.280] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001288)  
Kasi minsan,

**[01:29:25.680] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001289)  
dun po nagtuturoan.

**[01:29:26.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001290)  
And this is not the problem of DAR.

**[01:29:31.700] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001291)  
Secretary,

**[01:29:32.820] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001292)  
nadamay lang po kayo.

**[01:29:34.740] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001293)  
Dahil po may one,

**[01:29:35.380] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001294)  
Wonderlast na kumuha po ng lupa ninyo.

**[01:29:38.060] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001295)  
And para sa mga ARB po natin.

**[01:29:40.440] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001296)  
Para sa mga hihirap natin.

**[01:29:42.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001297)  
Yun po yung pinaglalaban nyo.

**[01:29:44.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001298)  
Yun naman po yung ninanakawan.

**[01:29:46.920] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001299)  
So, ang point ko lang po dito,

**[01:29:49.540] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001300)  
bago po mag-issue ang DAR,

**[01:29:51.480] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001301)  
ang ROD,

**[01:29:53.000] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001302)  
ng clearance,

**[01:29:54.320] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001303)  
dapat may clearance po sa DAR,

**[01:29:57.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001304)  
may clearance din po sa DNR,

**[01:29:59.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001305)  
under one.

**[01:30:00.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001306)  
map. This is nothing

**[01:30:02.180] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001307)  
political.

**[01:30:04.740] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001308)  
Kung nakikita nyo po,

**[01:30:06.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001309)  
hindi naman ako nag-mention kung sino may

**[01:30:07.820] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001310)  
ari ng Wanderlust eh.

**[01:30:09.880] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001311)  
Di ba? Pero kung

**[01:30:11.580] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001312)  
i-google nyo ngayon,

**[01:30:14.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001313)  
puro po mga letter V

**[01:30:15.320] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001314)  
nakalagay po doon. Just google it.

**[01:30:18.760] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001315)  
So,

**[01:30:20.060] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001316)  
ito lang po yung tanong kasi namin,

**[01:30:21.600] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001317)  
dahil alam namin, it's spurious.

**[01:30:24.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001318)  
Isipin nyo po yung

**[01:30:25.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001319)  
provincial government,

**[01:30:27.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001320)  
gobyerno rin yung

**[01:30:32.480] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001321)  
kalaban. Ang

**[01:30:34.120] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001322)  
survey is galing po sa

**[01:30:36.020] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001323)  
DNR, galing rin po sa taong

**[01:30:38.040] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001324)  
bayan. As

**[01:30:40.180] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001325)  
local officials, we

**[01:30:42.180] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001326)  
are here to defend

**[01:30:44.280] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001327)  
our people's rights.

**[01:30:47.520] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001328)  
And that's why I

**[01:30:48.120] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001329)  
commend Secretary Estrella

**[01:30:49.880] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001330)  
for doing a great job,

**[01:30:52.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001331)  
giving dignity to our

**[01:30:53.980] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001332)  
farmers. Ito lang

**[01:30:56.200] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001333)  
po sinabi sa akin, Secretary,

**[01:30:57.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001334)  
kakapiranggut nilang po

**[01:30:59.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001335)  
na lupa na meron kami.

**[01:31:02.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001336)  
Kinuha pa sa amin.

**[01:31:05.460] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001337)  
Ano po

**[01:31:05.940] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001338)  
ang gagawin nyo kung

**[01:31:07.900] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001339)  
kayo rin po ang nasa

**[01:31:09.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001340)  
katayuan ko? That's why I'm

**[01:31:11.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001341)  
just asking the DAR,

**[01:31:14.240] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001342)  
give me a timetable.

**[01:31:16.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001343)  
I'm very serious

**[01:31:18.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001344)  
about this.

**[01:31:19.760] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001345)  
Bihira lang po ako magsalita.

**[01:31:22.600] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001346)  
Bihira lang po ako humingi

**[01:31:23.980] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001347)  
ng tulong. But this is

**[01:31:25.980] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001348)  
not for me.

**[01:31:27.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001349)  
Nothing to gain here.

**[01:31:29.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001350)  
Wala po akong lupa doon.

**[01:31:32.060] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001351)  
And before my dad passed away,

**[01:31:34.820] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001352)  
that was the last na

**[01:31:36.240] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001353)  
nabuksan po namin

**[01:31:37.740] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001354)  
na daan ang Siroma.

**[01:31:40.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001355)  
It's a very poor place,

**[01:31:43.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001356)  
but

**[01:31:43.720] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001357)  
mayaman. May white

**[01:31:46.160] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001358)  
clay po kami. Pinaalam ko

**[01:31:48.080] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001359)  
na rin sa DNR, ang nangyayari

**[01:31:50.100] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001360)  
po sa white clay.

**[01:31:51.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001361)  
White clay po namin, may stockpile.

**[01:31:53.960] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001362)  
Ang kumukuha,

**[01:31:57.920] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001363)  
hindi yung mayari.

**[01:31:59.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001364)  
Galing sa

**[01:32:00.620] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001365)  
Kapitolyo.

**[01:32:04.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001366)  
Kanyang po nangyayari po sa amin.

**[01:32:06.300] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001367)  
So with this, Secretary,

**[01:32:07.860] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001368)  
I'm just asking for your commitment.

**[01:32:11.220] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001369)  
Kindly expedite.

may fence na.

**[01:32:23.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001375)  
Ano ang laban mo

**[01:32:24.140] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001376)  
sa gobernador kung simpleng tao ka lang?

**[01:32:26.800] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001377)  
So kindly help

**[01:32:27.840] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001378)  
the people of Siroma.

**[01:32:29.340] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001379)  
Because I have to protect

**[01:32:31.260] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001380)  
my people and Siroma. I have

**[01:32:33.360] Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella** (asr-001381)

marami na pong mga magsasaka ang merong

**[01:33:18.580] Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando** (asr-001403)

ay hindi pa rin sila nai-install.

**[01:33:22.740] Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando** (asr-001405)  
Ano po ba yung mga rason kung bakit

**[01:33:24.340] Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando** (asr-001406)  
hindi pa rin nai-install yung mga magsasakang

We cannot address this matter

hindi ma-install dahil merong leasehold

**[01:45:42.160] Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando** (asr-001939)

Eh, ang aking palagay,

**[01:46:07.620] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-001952)

Ako na ho ang humihingi ng paumanhin. Ngunit hindi ko na ho palalampasin sa susunod na hindi ho kayo pagsabihan na hindi kayo maimbitahan sa mga programa natin.

**[02:00:18.160] Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez** (asr-002352)  
Opo, kasi Mr. Chair, kasi minsan kasi parang mayroong itinatago na hindi dapat kung malaman. So hindi naman po natin malilihim yan, ng mga projects na yan.

**[02:00:32.060] Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez** (asr-002353)  
Naturally, parang insulto po yun sa distrito, district congressman na hindi tayo pinapalam ano bang nasa likod dyan.

**[02:00:42.340] Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez** (asr-002354)

Tama po yun na yung karamihan po na siya naman binigyan ng batas, ng karapatan ng batas, doon po sa Section 16, Section 65 ng Republic Act 6657,

**[02:03:04.480] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002373)  
yung atin din pong mga manggagawa na kung saan ang mga CLOA ay na-issue na may mga limang taon na ay hinahayaan

**[02:03:15.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002374)  
na mag-file ng conversion. Ngayon, ang pag-file nila ng conversion, e para sa FORFOS na maging mas productive yung kanilang economic growth doon sa kanilang lupa na kanilang sinasaka, na hinahayaan naman at pinapahintulutan ng batas.

**[02:03:32.260] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002375)  
Ang tanging namin inaano doon sa mga farmers na nag-a-apply for conversion, ang katanungan na palagi namin sinasabi,

**[02:03:44.920] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002376)  
kinakailangan,

**[02:03:45.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002377)  
kinakailangan po, yung pong lupa ay hindi irrigated at hindi irrigable with firm funding commitment na naaayong po sa ating Administrative Order 01, 02, 01, Series of 2002, EO 01, Series of 2019.

**[02:04:03.880] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002378)  
Ngayon po, yung pong mga farmers na yan na Honorable Ma'am, kinanagpile sila ng conversion.

**[02:04:15.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002379)  
Ang pagmamayari po, nasa kanila pa rin po.

**[02:04:19.500] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002380)  
May mga pagkakataon po lang na sila ay nag-judge and venture ng isang debilo fair.

**[02:04:25.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002381)  
So, in which case, yung pong debilo fair at saka yung agrarian reform beneficiaries, nagsishare po sila sa pakinabang ng lupa na kanilang sinasaka.

**[02:04:37.700] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002382)  
Marami po yun. Tama po kayo.

**[02:04:40.200] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002383)  
Marami po sa nag-a-apply ng conversion, karamihan po ay manggagawa.

**[02:04:44.220] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002384)  
Na hindi...

**[02:04:45.460] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002385)  
Rin po namin po pwedeng tanggihan, ayon sa batas, basta nasa tama po yung kalagayan ng kanilang lupa.

**[02:04:53.860] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002386)  
At sa ngayon po, sila pa rin po ang nakikinabang sa kanilang lupa.

**[02:04:59.280] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002387)  
Thank you for the update, Mr. Chair.

**[02:05:01.480] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002388)  
But my questions have not been answered.

**[02:05:03.260] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002389)  
My question po is, when is the last time DAR has undertaken a revalidation of the status of ARBs?

**[02:05:14.800] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002390)  
Kailan po?

**[02:05:15.340] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002391)  
Kailan po kayo huli na nagsagawa po ng revalidation?

**[02:05:19.600] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002392)  
Ongoing po ba ito?

**[02:05:21.620] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002393)  
O ginagawa natin by face?

**[02:05:24.520] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002394)  
At nasaan na po tayo pagdating sa revalidation?

**[02:05:26.760] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002395)  
Ma'am, regarding po sa revalidation ng mga ARBs tungkol sa status ng mga farmers,

**[02:05:32.780] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002396)  
for the information of the committee,

**[02:05:35.680] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002397)  
sa aming po sa DAR as an agency, we have a lot of sectors.

**[02:05:39.520] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002398)  
Meron po kaming tinatawag na sectors of field operation office,

**[02:05:42.880] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002399)  
na siyang nangangasiwa doon sa pagpapalilisan.

**[02:05:45.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002400)  
Sa mga kalagayan ng mga farmers, ilan ba sila na nag-apply ng conversion?

**[02:05:50.860] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002401)  
At kung sila pa rin ba ang nakaposition sa mga lupa na yan?

**[02:05:54.820] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002402)  
Yan pong revalidation namin tungkol dyan sa kalagayan ng farmers is an ongoing concern.

**[02:06:01.800] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002403)  
Wala pong non-stop po yan under the monitoring po at supervision ng ating ahinsya, ang DAR.

**[02:06:11.480] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002404)  
Maraming salamat.

**[02:06:12.420] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002405)  
May we also get the numbers, Mr. Chair?

**[02:06:15.340] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002406)  
Ang sabi niyo ho kanina na may mga nag-apply for conversion,

**[02:06:19.780] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002407)  
ilang ARBs ito at ilang hektarya yung gagamitin

**[02:06:23.380] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002408)  
at sa kasalukuyan na suma sa ilalim sa land use conversion?

**[02:06:27.080] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002409)  
At maaari niyo ho bang maibahagi sa amin kung ilan dito yung para sa residential, commercial, industrial o institutional na paggamit?

**[02:06:36.100] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002410)  
Tama po yan.

**[02:06:37.100] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002411)  
Nangangakaw po kami sa inyo, Honorable Ma'am, na isasubmit sa inyo

**[02:06:42.220] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002412)  
yung total na detail, data,

**[02:06:45.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002413)  
ng land holdings na nakapag-apply ng conversion,

**[02:06:50.940] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002414)  
kung ilan ang mga farmers ang nag-apply ng conversions,

**[02:06:54.020] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002415)  
at kung ilan naman na ang nag-apply naman yung mga regular titles na hindi na-covered ng ating coverage sa 6657.

**[02:07:02.820] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002416)  
Nangangakaw po kami sa inyo na ipapadala po namin sa inyo sa lalong madaling panahon, Ma'am.

**[02:07:07.720] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002417)  
Mr. Chair, we will welcome the submission from DAR on this matter.

**[02:07:12.000] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002418)  
Now, there is this study.

**[02:07:15.340] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002419)  
Conducted by the UP Department of Geodetic Engineering

**[02:07:20.100] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002420)  
tungkol po sa issue ng land use conversion sa probinsya ng Tarla.

**[02:07:26.420] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002421)  
At sa kanilang pag-aaral mula 2017 hanggang 2022,

**[02:07:31.080] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002422)  
ang agricultural lands ay lumiit from 50.19% to 47.64%

**[02:07:37.720] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002423)  
habang nag-triple naman sa bilang at porsyento, 333.3%.

**[02:07:45.340] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002424)  
Ang expansion ng mga solar farms.

**[02:07:49.420] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002425)  
Ito ho ba ay alam ng DAR?

**[02:07:52.360] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002426)  
At ano ho ang sinasagawa natin para matiyak na napoprotektahan pa rin natin ang ating agricultural lands?

**[02:07:59.840] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002427)  
Ang kasabay nitong malawakan at mabilisan na expansion ng mga solar farms.

**[02:08:07.320] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002428)  
Ganito po yan, Ma'am.

**[02:08:08.920] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002429)  
Yung pong dalawang niyang bahagi, yung pong para sa elektrisidad,

**[02:08:13.860] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002430)  
at saka yung...

**[02:08:15.340] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002431)  
Yung pong tungkol sa ating mga ARBs, sa ating mga farmers,

**[02:08:21.320] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002432)  
ito po ay parihas sa binabanggit at pinapaprotektahan din ho ng ating saligang batas.

**[02:08:29.120] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002433)  
Yung pong sa mga farmers, ang tinatawag po natin na protection na ibinibigay dyan ay yung social justice.

**[02:08:34.480] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002434)  
Ang tungkol sa pagpapalago ng agraryo, which is, according to our president, is a foundational approach.

**[02:08:43.480] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002435)  
At yung isa naman po, elektrisidad, pangangailangan din po ng buong Pilipino, ng buong kabayanan,

**[02:08:52.620] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002436)  
na atin namang pinapangalagaan ng ating 1987 Constitution, na tinatawag naman po natin na General Welfare Clause.

**[02:09:01.280] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002437)  
Ito po ay parihas namin binabalansi at inaalagaan.

**[02:09:04.900] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002438)  
Kaya nga po, dito kapag dumating na sa amin ang isang application for conversions under the Land Use Case Committee,

**[02:09:13.480] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002439)  
at nakita namin kay farmers siya na nag-apply, kay regular land owners siya na nag-apply,

**[02:09:21.220] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002440)  
tapos kumplito ang requirement niya at naaayon sa batas.

**[02:09:26.540] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002441)  
Kami po, ma'am, ay wala rin hong discretion kasi kundi ang ibigay at i-approve ang kanyang konversyon.

**[02:09:35.400] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002442)  
Ngayon po, tungkol po doon sa ginagawang inventory ng ibang ahinsya ng pamahalaan,

**[02:09:42.360] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002443)  
tama lang po iyon at kami po ay magkipag-coordinate sa kanila para makipag-exchange note kami tungkol naman sa data namin dito sa DAR

**[02:09:54.040] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002444)  
at saka doon sa ahinsya na nag-conduct din ng kanilang tinatawag na survey na parang lumiliit ang agricultural lot

**[02:10:05.020] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002445)  
because of the conversion of this renewable energy.

**[02:10:09.760] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002446)  
Natural lang po, ma'am, hindi po ako pupunta.

**[02:10:12.360] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002447)  
Kung pwedeng makatanggi na kapag nagkaroon ng konversyon, nakakabawas sa ating agricultural.

**[02:10:19.960] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002448)  
Pero sa akin, ang masasabi ko po, supesyente pa rin po ang lawak ng kalupaan para po sa ating agricultural

**[02:10:29.220] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002449)  
na nangangailangan lang po ng suporta ng modern agriculture.

**[02:10:34.840] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002450)  
Ang Department of Agriculture, Mr. Chair, meron silang sinisimula na geofencing program

**[02:10:39.700] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002451)  
para protektahan yung ating agriculture.

**[02:10:42.360] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002452)  
At sa akin, ang mga ating agricultural lands.

**[02:10:42.840] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002453)  
Dahil tama po kayo, parehong napakahalaga sa sambayan ng Pilipino.

**[02:10:47.200] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002454)  
Pero kailangan din natin tiyakin na kung gaano tayo kabilis na mag-approve ba ng expansion,

**[02:10:53.180] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002455)  
ng development ng mga bagong solar at iba pang mga renewable energy projects

**[02:10:57.840] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002456)  
na hindi po natin tinututulan, sinusuportahan po natin ang mga renewable energy projects.

**[02:11:02.940] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002457)  
Pero hindi dapat natin maisakripisyo naman yung ating mga prime agricultural lands.

**[02:11:07.660] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002458)  
And ganyan din yung lupa, kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka.

**[02:11:12.360] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002459)  
Gayon din ang mga manggagawang bukid.

**[02:11:14.320] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002460)  
Kaya, Mr. Chair, kaugnay nito, sabi ng BCDA, ang proposed Pax Silica ay humigit kumulang na 4,000 acres o nasa 1,619 hectares sa New Clark City.

**[02:11:31.560] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002461)  
Sabi naman ng Capas Municipal Government, over 30% ng land area ay considered productive agricultural land.

**[02:11:40.720] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002462)  
Alam po ba ito ng DAR? At nag-issue po ba ang DAR ng mga conversion order na kaugnay ng proyekto na ito?

**[02:11:48.920] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002463)  
Patungkol po diyan sa Pax Silica, ang masasabi ko po sa inyo, wala pa pong nag-a-apply dito ng kahit na anong entities para po mag-apply ng conversion.

**[02:12:01.800] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002464)  
Ang masasabi ko dyan, maski na ang BCDA na host charter under Republic Act 7227,

**[02:12:10.720] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002465)  
ay mayroon din mandate, mayroon din silang mandato, mayroon silang kapangyarihan na magka-exorcise ng expropriation o tinatawag natin na power of eminent domain.

**[02:12:24.620] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002466)  
Ang aming pong protection na ibinibigay sa ARBs, kung sakasakaling dumating sa punto na yung lupa na nasasakop nila at may kluwa at tatamaan ng expropriation,

**[02:12:37.220] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002467)  
we will definitely contest the validity.

**[02:12:40.720] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002468)  
of the exercise of the power of eminent domain by the PAC silika or even the BCDA to that effect.

**[02:12:48.940] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002469)  
There are a lot of situations where we entangled and we are in conflict with the BCDA and the DAR.

**[02:12:55.940] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002470)  
And we do not bow our heads just simply because they are also an agency empowered with the power of expropriation.

**[02:13:08.200] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002471)  
We continue to maintain our mandate.

**[02:13:10.720] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002472)  
To protect the interest of the farmers, ma'am.

**[02:13:14.500] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002473)  
Maari nyo bang maimbestigahan itong ulat na lumabas na ang BCDA daw ho ay nag-offer sa landowners at farmers ng 30 pesos per square meter or around 300,000 pesos per hectare

**[02:13:29.600] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002474)  
sa, dito po sa mga lupa na natukoy po natin ng mga productive agricultural lands.

**[02:13:36.100] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002475)  
Maari nyo po bang maimbestigahan at matiyak po natin na katulad po ng sabi ninyo,

**[02:13:40.720] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002476)  
ay maprotektahan po natin yung kabuhayan at interest mismo ng ating mga magsasaka at mga katutubo.

**[02:13:50.100] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002477)  
Gayon din, Mr. Chair, gusto ko lang din po masabi sa harap ng ating committee,

**[02:13:55.560] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002478)  
sa totoo lang ho nais namin matanong mismo yung BCDA sa mga katanungan na ito tungkol sa PAC silika.

**[02:14:03.720] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002479)  
Kasi ho, lahat ho ng mga departamento na tinatanong namin tungkol dito,

**[02:14:07.980] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002480)  
ang itinuturo ho sa amin, BCDA daw ho,

**[02:14:10.300] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002481)  
ang nangunguna.

**[02:14:12.060] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002482)  
Ngunit, hindi po tayo mabibigyan niya ng pagkakataon kasi wala po sa schedule ng mga budget briefings sa harap ng Committee on Appropriations.

**[02:14:21.080] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002483)  
Sumulat na ho kami sa Committee on Appropriations tungkol dito at muli ho kaming nananawagan.

**[02:14:26.400] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002484)  
Dapat ho, masagot itong katanungan ng taong bayan tungkol sa PAC silika at paharapin ng BCDA sa harap ng Committee on Appropriations at sa Kongreso na ito.

**[02:14:37.620] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002485)  
Ang ngayon naman, Mr. Chair,

**[02:14:40.300] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002486)  
sa EO 75,

**[02:14:42.620] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002487)  
meron na ho ba kayong report tungkol sa execution ng Executive Order No. 75

**[02:14:49.740] Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago** (asr-002488)  
at ilang ektarya na ng government-owned land ang na-identify ng DAR na may kinalaman ho dito?

**[02:14:58.260] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002489)  
Ang mapatungkol po sa...

**[02:15:00.000] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002490)  
Executive Order 75, which covers government-owned land, kung tawagin namin ay GOL, na may pinanggalingan din yan na isang Executive Order earlier issued during the time of President Cory Aquino,

**[02:15:13.320] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002491)  
Executive Order 407, ay isang bagay na kahit na pinahinto na kami sa aming pag-cover sa mga private agricultural lands, ay patuloy pa rin namin ginagawa ito.

**[02:15:27.000] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002492)  
Katunayan dito, noong nakaraang three weeks ago, nag-order ang aming kagalanggalang nakalihim, Sekretary Conrado Estrella, na paboran ang isang acquisition sa government-owned land under our position that the same has already been converted into alienable and disposable dito sa Cagayan de Oro.

**[02:15:52.860] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002493)  
Patuloy po ang mandato ng DAR sa pangangalap.

**[02:15:57.000] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002494)  
ng lupa ng mga government-owned land, kasi iyan po ay inuutos din sa amin ng ating Pangulo kung kaya siya ay nag-issue ng tinatawag natin na Administrative Order 22, Series of 2024, na tinatawag po natin na Coordinating Agency, na siya nag-iimbintorin ng mga government-owned lands.

**[02:16:18.840] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002495)  
Now, mapatungkol po doon sa kung ilan na po ang government-owned lands na naano ng DAR na iimbintorin.

**[02:16:27.000] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002496)  
Ang nakakaalam po niya na Honorable Congress Lady, walang iba kundi ang aming Undersecretary po ipoo-oo kung pupwede pong matanong natin si Undersecretary Kissel Celesti.

**[02:16:46.600] DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Atty. Napoleon U. Galit** (asr-002497)  
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

**[02:16:47.500] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-002498)  
To recognize USEC, Celeste.

So,

well thank you

**[02:46:04.780] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003495)  
okay so

**[02:46:05.440] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003496)  
nirace po natin kasi nga may mga

**[02:46:09.260] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003497)  
questions tayo

**[02:46:10.160] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003498)  
this seems to be

**[02:46:11.340] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003499)  
parang hindi yung usual

**[02:46:13.240] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003500)  
ang sinasabi kasi yung timing

**[02:46:16.260] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003501)  
baka December pa magkapirmahan

**[02:46:18.720] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003502)  
so sinasabi nyo lalagyan naman

**[02:46:21.160] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003503)  
ng appropriation nito

**[02:46:22.500] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003504)  
22 billion yan

**[02:46:25.500] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003505)  
so kung dinagdag lang yan

**[02:46:27.240] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003506)  
ay maapektuhan nyo yung

**[02:46:29.440] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003507)  
ceiling which is not

**[02:46:30.460] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003508)  
di ba unconstitutional

**[02:46:32.040] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003509)  
so either magbabawas

**[02:46:34.840] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003510)  
ng iba

**[02:46:35.240] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003511)  
to make room for the 22 billion

**[02:46:38.020] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003512)  
or ilalagay ito sa unprogrammed appropriations

**[02:46:40.400] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003513)  
baka ganun po ang mangyayari dito

**[02:46:42.660] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003514)  
samantala merong

**[02:46:44.800] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003515)  
constitutional issues

**[02:46:46.960] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003516)  
di ba nasa Supreme Court

**[02:46:48.400] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003517)  
yung usapin ng unprogrammed appropriations

**[02:46:50.920] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003518)  
anyway

**[02:46:51.680] Rep. Antonio L. Tinio** (asr-003519)

So,

**[02:55:37.440] Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro** (asr-003788)  
would it be possible it would be

**[02:55:39.440] Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro** (asr-003789)  
this project will be implemented

**[02:55:41.440] Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro** (asr-003790)

**[02:55:43.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003791)  
We're trying our best

**[02:55:45.440] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003792)

Nagkasukaso na kasi sila.

**[02:56:43.440] Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro** (asr-003820)

Basta sa tingin ko, pwede pa yan.

Nag-usap na kami ni Yusick Sangkupan yan

Before we hear from

Mr. Chairman, I'm terribly sorry

So, I must have...

**[03:00:03.440] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003913)  
No problem. Do you want me to

**[03:00:09.340] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003914)  
repeat the question?

**[03:00:11.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003915)  
O, kasalanan ko ho.

Okay.

**[03:00:19.020] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003918)  
So, your

**[03:00:26.900] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003922)  
left to acquire

**[03:00:28.760] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003923)  
and distribute under land.

**[03:00:32.100] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003924)  
The secretary

**[03:00:32.660] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003925)

**[03:00:34.760] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003926)

**[03:00:36.440] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003927)  
700,000 hectares remain.

**[03:00:39.800] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003928)  
And the computation

**[03:00:40.740] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003929)  
from the PSA's 2022

**[03:00:42.520] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003930)  
Agricultural Indicator System

**[03:00:44.860] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003931)

at 563,076

**[03:00:49.560] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003933)  
hectares.

**[03:00:50.700] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003934)  
Which figure is Congress

**[03:00:52.560] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003935)  
being asked to budget for?

**[03:00:55.040] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003936)  
The 147,700

**[03:00:58.280] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003937)  
hectares

**[03:00:58.880] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003938)  
or the 563

**[03:01:00.640] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003939)

**[03:01:02.660] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003940)  
Your Honor,

**[03:01:04.320] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003941)

At

**[03:01:32.600] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003956)  
if there are many figures,

**[03:01:35.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003957)  
what is more accurate is the 750.

**[03:01:38.580] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003958)  
And

**[03:01:38.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003959)  
with God's help

**[03:01:40.860] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003960)  
and the support of our

**[03:01:43.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003961)  
congressmen,

**[03:01:44.360] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003962)  
we might be able to make it

**[03:01:47.400] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003963)  
at 500 or a little

**[03:01:49.420] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003964)  
less for this year.

**[03:01:51.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003965)  
And then finish the entire thing

**[03:01:53.520] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003966)  
next year.

**[03:01:55.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003967)  
Your Honor.

**[03:01:55.800] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003968)  
Alright.

**[03:01:57.840] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003969)  
What is the reason that the

**[03:01:59.760] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003970)  
DAR only targets 20,000

**[03:02:02.120] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003971)  
hectares?

**[03:02:02.600] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003972)  
Under LAD?

**[03:02:06.080] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003973)  
That's the only remaining LAD.

**[03:02:08.020] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003974)  
Your Honor.

**[03:02:09.300] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003975)  
Because most are coming from

**[03:02:11.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003976)  
the

**[03:02:12.260] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003977)  
coming from those

**[03:02:16.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003978)  
that are being partialized now.

**[03:02:18.000] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003979)  
Out of the collective

**[03:02:19.540] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003980)  
that were distributed.

**[03:02:21.920] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003981)  
Your Honor.

**[03:02:24.300] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003982)  
May we ask the Secretary

**[03:02:25.980] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003983)  
how many agricultural lands

**[03:02:28.060] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003984)  
were removed from the LAD balance

**[03:02:30.260] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003985)  
by virtue of Memorandum

**[03:02:32.300] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003986)  
Circular 112?

**[03:02:33.980] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003987)  
Can the Secretary walk us through

**[03:02:36.340] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003988)  
the procedure of the DAR in

**[03:02:38.140] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003989)  
cleansing the list of land holdings

**[03:02:40.460] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003990)  
under LAD?

**[03:02:42.780] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003991)  
Your Honor,

**[03:02:44.200] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003992)  
the data is in the possession

**[03:02:46.060] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003993)  
of our Undersecretary

**[03:02:47.880] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003994)  
for Field Operations. May I ask

**[03:02:50.340] DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III** (asr-003995)  
that she be recognized, Your Honor?

**[03:02:54.720] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003996)  
USEC Celeste,

**[03:02:56.120] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-003997)  
can we hear? Celeste, can we hear, please?

**[03:02:58.760] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-003998)  
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

**[03:02:59.720] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-003999)  
Actually, the process of the

**[03:03:01.640] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004000)  
deduction of our balances,

**[03:03:03.560] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004001)  
we are actually following

**[03:03:05.420] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004002)  
the guidelines under MC4

**[03:03:07.180] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004003)  
series of 2014. So, under this

**[03:03:09.620] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004004)  
Memorandum Circular,

**[03:03:11.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004005)  
we do the validation on the ground.

**[03:03:13.240] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004006)  
Ito sa provincial

**[03:03:15.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004007)  
agrarian offices natin.

**[03:03:17.520] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004008)  
And then it will move up to the

**[03:03:19.220] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004009)  
regional level, which

**[03:03:21.480] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004010)  
is the RLBET or the regional

**[03:03:23.540] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004011)  
LAD balance evaluation team.

**[03:03:25.420] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004012)  
So, this is where we evaluate whether

**[03:03:27.440] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004013)  
low-priority land holdings are

**[03:03:29.640] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004014)  
supposed to be taken out

**[03:03:31.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004015)  
of the LAD balance. But right now, Mr. Chair,

**[03:03:33.700] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004016)  
we are revisiting.

**[03:03:35.420] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004017)  
MC4, actually. And we are trying

**[03:03:37.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004018)  
to review the process

**[03:03:39.860] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004019)  
of deduction because we are of the opinion

**[03:03:41.700] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004020)  
that the process of deduction should

**[03:03:43.400] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004021)  
primarily be with

**[03:03:45.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004022)  
the Office of the Secretary, not merely

**[03:03:47.520] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004023)  
at the regional level.

**[03:03:49.860] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004024)  
So, kailangan po, in our opinion,

**[03:03:51.880] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004025)  
kailangan meron pong

**[03:03:53.520] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004026)  
final and executory

**[03:03:55.800] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004027)  
order coming from

**[03:03:57.540] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004028)  
the Secretary of Agrarian Reform just to

**[03:03:59.480] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004029)  
protect

**[03:04:01.260] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004030)  
the interest of our farmers at hindi po

**[03:04:03.500] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004031)  
basta-basta magtatanggal.

**[03:04:05.420] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004032)  
Sa balansin ng LAD, yung mga

**[03:04:07.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004033)  
land holdings natin. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

**[03:04:09.140] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004034)  
Okay. And follow-up question on that.

**[03:04:13.360] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004035)  
Given that by virtue

**[03:04:15.280] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004036)  
of the CARL, the legislated

**[03:04:17.280] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004037)  
balance is at 5.4 million

**[03:04:19.280] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004038)  
hectares, what is the legal

**[03:04:21.320] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004039)  
basis of the DAR to cleanse

**[03:04:23.260] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004040)  
the LAD balance?

**[03:04:26.960] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004041)  
Just like what I mentioned,

**[03:04:29.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004042)  
Mr. Chair, we have

**[03:04:30.760] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004043)  
a very low-priority

**[03:04:32.400] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004044)  
land holdings.

**[03:04:35.160] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004045)  
And we also have land holdings,

**[03:04:36.980] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004046)  
that are subject to

**[03:04:38.380] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004047)  
legal issues.

**[03:04:41.140] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004048)  
So, ito po yung mga land holdings

**[03:04:42.960] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004049)  
na nahihirapan po tayong

**[03:04:44.600] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004050)  
i-cover. So,

**[03:04:47.140] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004051)  
based on that, we are following right now

**[03:04:49.060] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004052)  
MC4, which we are actually revisiting

**[03:04:51.280] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004053)  
right now, and in the process

**[03:04:53.060] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004054)  
of having it amended. Thank you,

**[03:04:55.040] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004055)  
Mr. Chair.

**[03:04:55.660] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004055-split-2)  
Okay.

**[03:04:56.760] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004056)  
One hectare removed from the list is

**[03:04:58.980] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004057)  
a farmer left landless.

**[03:05:00.860] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004058)  
Is it not illegal

**[03:05:03.060] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004059)  
to remove lands from the list?

**[03:05:05.140] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004060)  
How does the DAR ensure the rights of

**[03:05:06.940] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004061)  
affected and potential beneficiaries

**[03:05:09.020] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004062)  
to due process as

**[03:05:11.020] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004063)  
land holdings are removed from the list?

**[03:05:13.460] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004064)  
And after that, what assurances

**[03:05:15.060] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004065)  
can the DAR give that given

**[03:05:17.100] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004066)  
these deleted lands from the list,

**[03:05:19.120] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004067)  
it will be able to uphold the 5.4

**[03:05:22.260] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004068)  
million hectares

**[03:05:23.180] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004069)  
legislated balance?

**[03:05:24.860] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004070)  
Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is precisely why

**[03:05:27.000] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004071)  
we are pushing for the revisiting and

**[03:05:29.020] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004072)  
amendment of Memorandum Circular

**[03:05:31.200] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004073)  
No. 4, because we want to be more

**[03:05:33.220] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004074)  
strict in implementing the

**[03:05:35.060] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004075)  
deletion process of the LAD balance.

**[03:05:36.940] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004076)  
Okay. Can we require

**[03:05:39.240] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004077)  
the DAR to publish the official figures

**[03:05:41.280] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004078)  
of LAD accomplishments and balance

**[03:05:43.180] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004079)  
the object to congressional inquiry?

**[03:05:45.340] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004080)  
Definitely, Mr. Chair.

**[03:05:46.210] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004080-split-2)  
Okay.

**[03:05:47.320] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004081)  
Given the targets of the DAR

**[03:05:48.800] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004082)  
for LAD, how does it propose

**[03:05:51.100] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004083)  
to accomplish its targets with only

**[03:05:52.920] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004084)  
100 million pesos allocated

**[03:05:54.840] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004085)  
for land acquisition,

**[03:05:57.080] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004086)  
which can only purchase

**[03:05:58.800] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004087)  
a high estimate of 1,000 hectares?

**[03:06:02.160] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004088)  
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

**[03:06:03.160] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004089)  
This is actually the reason

**[03:06:05.320] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004090)  
why

**[03:06:06.940] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004091)  
the reason that we gave

**[03:06:09.360] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004092)  
earlier this afternoon.

**[03:06:11.400] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004093)  
The proposal that we submitted

**[03:06:13.160] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004094)  
to Congress is primarily based

**[03:06:15.340] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004095)  
on the budgetary ceiling set

**[03:06:16.740] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004096)  
by the DBM. So based on this budgetary

**[03:06:19.440] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004097)  
ceiling, hanggang doon lang po kami

**[03:06:21.480] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004098)  
pwedeng mag-set ng proposal namin.

**[03:06:23.720] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004099)  
Okay. For the full balance

**[03:06:25.260] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004100)  
according to...

**[03:06:26.980] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004101)  
Sorry. How much budget is needed

**[03:06:29.500] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004102)  
by the DAR to complete the LAD balance

**[03:06:31.660] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004103)  
according to its own record?

**[03:06:34.140] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004104)  
We took the liberty to

**[03:06:35.400] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004105)  
compute this for the good Secretary.

**[03:06:36.940] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004106)  
For the full balance

**[03:06:38.960] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004107)  
according to the DAR, it needs

**[03:06:40.820] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004108)  
8,849,580,000

**[03:06:44.760] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004109)  
for 30%

**[03:06:45.840] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004110)  
initial cash payment

**[03:06:47.280] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004111)  
and 29,498,600,000

**[03:06:53.840] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004112)  
to pay land

**[03:06:55.220] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004113)  
acquisition in full.

**[03:06:58.020] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004114)  
Is it close

**[03:06:58.960] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004115)  
to that, your numbers?

**[03:07:00.660] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004116)  
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually,

**[03:07:02.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004117)  
the proposed budget

**[03:07:04.120] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004118)  
the proposed budget

**[03:07:06.740] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004119)  
that we have per hectare is about

**[03:07:08.380] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004120)  
ballpark figure, Mr. Chair,

**[03:07:10.180] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004121)  
10,000 pesos per hectare.

**[03:07:12.480] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004122)  
This is not including the landowners

**[03:07:14.500] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004123)  
compensation that we need to

**[03:07:16.160] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004124)  
pay the landowners

**[03:07:18.500] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004125)  
that we have. We have already

**[03:07:20.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004126)  
reported earlier that we have

**[03:07:22.500] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004127)  
about 7 billion pesos

**[03:07:24.820] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004128)  
worth of balance in so

**[03:07:26.640] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004129)  
far as landowners compensation is concerned

**[03:07:28.760] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004130)  
and 2.2 billion of which

**[03:07:30.340] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004131)  
is the cash portion.

**[03:07:31.940] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004131-split-2)  
Okay.

**[03:07:32.840] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004132)  
For the full balance per the

**[03:07:34.660] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004133)  
legislated balance in the comprehensive

**[03:07:36.740] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004134)  
agrarian reform law,

**[03:07:39.040] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004135)  
Carl, the DAR needs

**[03:07:40.520] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004136)  
33,784,560,000

**[03:07:44.960] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004137)  
for 30% initial

**[03:07:46.600] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004138)  
cash payment and

**[03:07:48.160] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004139)  
112,615,200,000

**[03:07:52.640] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004140)  
to pay land acquisition

**[03:07:54.400] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004141)  
in full. What is preventing

**[03:07:56.600] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004142)  
the DAR from asking these full amounts

**[03:07:58.740] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004143)  
to deliver the promise of the

**[03:08:00.540] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004144)  
President?

**[03:08:01.760] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004144-split-2)  
Based on

**[03:08:02.560] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004145)  
the question, Mr. Chair, I think this

**[03:08:04.560] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004146)  
is suggesting that the 30%

**[03:08:06.740] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004147)  
figure that you've mentioned earlier is

**[03:08:08.640] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004148)  
based on the actual balance that we have.

**[03:08:10.840] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004149)  
But the data that we have right now is

**[03:08:12.760] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004150)  
actually the actual

**[03:08:14.960] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004151)  
balance that have already

**[03:08:16.780] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004152)  
passed through the member

**[03:08:18.480] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004153)  
of the valuation. So that is what

**[03:08:20.580] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004154)  
the number that we have

**[03:08:22.760] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004155)  
right now. That is the 2.2

**[03:08:24.780] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004156)  
billion

**[03:08:25.240] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004157)  
cash portion that we need to

**[03:08:28.520] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004158)  
provide for

**[03:08:30.600] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004159)  
landowners compensation.

**[03:08:32.640] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004160)  
This is comprising, Mr. Chair, for the information

**[03:08:34.780] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004161)  
of the committee. This is,

**[03:08:36.740] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004162)  
uh, about 45,000

**[03:08:38.420] DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste** (asr-004163)  
hectares po.

**[03:08:39.360] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004163-split-2)  
Okay.

**[03:08:40.800] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004164)

how much has actually been released

**[03:08:52.800] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004170)

**[03:08:54.780] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004171)  
acquisition, component by

component, and region by region?

**[03:08:59.120] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004173)  
And why has no

for 2025 been published?

**[03:09:14.980] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004176)  
If the data is not

**[03:09:16.160] Rep. Ian Paul L. Dy** (asr-004177)  
available now, we can always have it.

**[03:09:18.520] DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares** (asr-004178)  
Mr. Chair, um, yes.

**[03:09:20.440] DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares** (asr-004179)  
Mr. Chair, if I may

be allowed to respond to the

**[03:09:24.400] DAR Undersecretary for Foreign Assisted and Special Projects Jesry T. Palmares** (asr-004181)
