SUBJECT

Amendments to the Revised Rules and Procedures Governing Acquisition and Distribution of Private Agricultural Lands Under Republic Act No. 6657, as Amended

PREFATORY STATEMENT

On September 30, 2011, Administrative Order (A.O.) No. 7, Series of 2011 (Revised Rules and Procedures Governing the Acquisition and Distribution of Private Agricultural Lands Under Republic Act (R.A.) No. 6657, as amended) was issued by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) pursuant to Section 49 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 6657 and its overall mandate to implement the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and agrarian reform laws.

In the continuing review of the land acquisition and distribution (LAD) process to meet the challenge of completing LAD in the remaining years of CARP implementation, the DAR and the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) recognized the need to reduce and simplify the documentary requirements in order to fast track the conduct of field investigation and land valuation activities for landholdings covered under CARP.

This Administrative Order (A.O.) provides a common understanding and appreciation of the revised procedures in the LAD process and ensures the accuracy and completeness of documents required in the claim folder (CF) for submission to LBP which are necessary prior and during the conduct of field investigation, processing of valuation and approval of land transfer claims.

Thus, in view of the foregoing, the following amendments to A.O. No. 7, Series of 2011, as amended by A.O. No. 3, Series of 2012, are hereby issued:

SECTION 1. Sections 20, 21 and 22 of A.O. No. 3, Series of 2012, which amended Sections 65, 68 and 69 of A.O. No. 7, Series of 2011, are further amended to read as follows:

1.1 Survey Activities Before Field Investigation (FI) and Valuation. Prior to the conduct of Joint Field Investigation (JFI) and valuation, a survey shall be undertaken to segregate the coverable from non-coverable areas, subdivide the acquired areas and establish the land use/s on a per lot basis in accordance with Section 20 of A.O. No. 3, Series of 2012.

The Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer (PARPO) shall, within five (5) working days from receipt of the CF from the Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officer (MARPO), determine the completeness and correctness of the documents required prior to the conduct of JFI and valuation as enumerated in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof, as applicable.

If the documents are complete and correct, the PARPO shall, within the five (5) working day period, submit the CF together with the Advance or Approved copy of the Segregation or Subdivision Plan (AdvSP or ASP), whichever is applicable, to the DAR Regional Office (DARRO), using CARPER LAD Form No. 43 (Revised 2014). aHIDAE

In case of AdvSP, the PARPO and the Geodetic Engineer (GE) who conducted the survey shall jointly certify that the AdvSP to be used in the JFI is the same subdivision plan attached to the survey returns submitted or to be submitted to the DENR or LRA for approval.

The DAR Regional Director (RD) or his duly-authorized representative shall, within three (3) working days from receipt of the CF from the PARPO, convene the DAR-LBP Pre-Processing Unit (PPU) to validate the completeness and correctness of the documentary requirements in the CF prior to the conduct of the JFI and valuation.

For claim folders cleared by the PPU, the RD and LBP Agrarian Operations Center (AOC) Head, or their duly-authorized representatives, shall prioritize the scheduling of JFI on the landholdings, taking into consideration the required 15-day notice to the landowner (LO), ARBs, and other concerned government agencies. Within one (1) day from ascertainment of the JFI schedule, the RD shall advise the concerned PARPO of the schedule (CARPER LAD Form Nos. 44 and 45) for notification of the parties concerned (MARPO, LO, ARBs, other agencies concerned, if necessary).

While waiting for the completion of the JFI, the PPU-cleared CFs shall be in the custody of the CARPO for Operations at the DAR Regional Office (DARRO).

For CFs not cleared by the PPU, the RD shall inform the concerned PARPO of any lacking document/s or discrepancy/ies which is/are noted by the PPU.

1.2 Conduct of Field Investigation (FI). Sections 65 and 68 of A.O. No. 7, Series of 2011, as amended by Sections 20 and 21 of A.O. No. 3, Series of 2012, are hereby further amended specifically the non-inclusion of a Perimeter Land Use Map (PLUM) of the landholding being covered. Instead, the land use shall be indicated per lot in the AdvSP or ASP during FI.

Where a particular lot has multiple land uses (crops), the AdvSP or ASP should reflect the actual land use/s on a per lot basis. In case of conflict between the AdvSP or ASP and the result of the JFI, the latter prevails, and a re-survey shall be conducted to adjust the AdvSP or ASP in accordance with the results of the JFI. TEcCHD

Immediately after the completion of the JFI, the JFI Team shall accomplish and sign the Field Investigation Report (Revised CARPER-LAD Form No. 46) and certify the correctness of the land use/s per lot by affixing their signatures on the AdvSP or ASP.

The FIR signed by the JFI team shall be forwarded by the MARPO to the PARPO and LBP AOC Head for notation and signature.

If the FIR tallies with the AdvSP or ASP, the PARPO shall immediately forward the duly-accomplished FIR, together with copy of the AdvSP or ASP certified by the JFI Team, to the DARRO for inclusion in the CF by the Regional CARPO for Operations.

SECTION 2. Re-survey in Case of Discrepancy/ies. — In case of discrepancy/ies between the AdvSP or ASP and the FIR, a re-survey shall be conducted to conform with the FIR and come up with an adjusted AdvSP or ASP.

The PARPO shall, within five (5) working days from receipt of the adjusted ADVSP or ASP from the MARPO, forward the same to the DARRO.

Upon receipt of the adjusted AdvSP or ASP, the RD shall convene the PPU to review and evaluate if the adjusted AdvSP or ASP tallies with the FIR.

SECTION 3. Transmittal of CF to LBP AOC. — All CFs together with the duly-accomplished FIR and a copy of the AdvSP or ASP cleared by the PPU shall be transmitted to LBP AOC through a Memorandum Request to Value Land (CARPER LAD Form No. 49) signed by the Regional Director. The date of receipt of the RD's Memorandum Request to Value Land shall be considered as the actual date of receipt of the CF by LBP for processing.
