In view of the approval of the Department's Rationalization Plan pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.)

Accordingly, the pertinent provisions of DAR Administrative Order (A.O.) No. 02, Series of 2002 are hereby amended, as follows:

The "CLUPPI" and the "RCLUPPI" are hereby renamed as the "Land Use Cases Division (LUCD)", and the Regional Land Use Cases Committee (RLUCC)", respectively. cAaDHT

Item III (A) of A.O. No. 02, Series of 2002 is hereby repealed considering that under the present structure of the DAR Central Office, LUCD is now one (1) of the four (4) Divisions of the Bureau of Agrarian Legal Assistance (BALA).

Furthermore, the RCLUPPI-Secretariat of all DAR Regional Offices are hereby abolished. Their functions shall now be performed by the respective Legal Division of the Regional Office.

A.O. No. 02, Series of 2002 and all other Administrative Orders, Memorandum Circulars, and other DAR issuances that are inconsistent herewith are hereby modified, amended, or repealed accordingly.
