Guidelines and Procedures on the Parcelization of Landholdings with Collective Certificates of Land Ownership Award ( DAR Administrative Order No. 02, s. 2019 )

March 29, 2019

DAR ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 02, S. 2019

PREFATORY STATEMENT

Under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), public and private agricultural landholdings (LHs) are acquired by the government to be distributed to tenants, farmers, farmworkers, and/or other tillers who are qualified to become agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs), in the form of an individual Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) covering one (1) contiguous tract or several parcels of land cumulated up to a maximum of three (3) hectares. However, qualified beneficiaries may opt for collective ownership, through a farmers' cooperative/association or some other form of collective organization, for the issuance of Collective CLOA (CCLOA). In all cases, the total area shall not exceed the award ceiling of three (3) hectares per ARB.

In the past decades, many LHs were awarded to ARBs under a collective and unsubdivided form of ownership. Pursuant to Section 25 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 6657, as amended by Section 10 of R.A. No. 9700, the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is mandated to immediately undertake the parcelization of CCLOAs over lands that are not collectively farmed or operated in an integrated manner.

These LHs covered with CCLOAs are part of the land acquisition and distribution (LAD) process. DAR shall therefore endeavor to parcelize them to stabilize ownership, tenureship and control of the lands awarded to the concerned ARBs.

In addition, there are reports from the field implementers and civil society organizations (CSOs) regarding disputes or controversies among the ARBs with existing CCLOAs due to boundary conflict, inclusion/exclusion of ARBs, and other conflicts resulting to splitting of group into sub-groups, and/or co-owners opting for individual ownership.

Moreover, there are LHs covered with CCLOAs, which have been acquired and distributed under Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) financing, where the government has not been able to collect land amortization, while the ARBs have not been able to fully pay the lands for them to become full owners, due to the difficulty in generating the Land Distribution and Information Schedule (LDIS).

2.17 Qualified ARBs — refers to farmers or farmworkers who possess the requisites stipulated under Section 22 of R.A. 6657, as amended, on the qualifications of ARBs, and who may therefore be awarded CLOAs, or other proof of ownership or possession of the land. aDSIHc

2.18 Sworn Undertaking — refers to a duly sworn/subscribed undertaking by the ARBs of the awarded land covered by a CCLOA, where the said ARBs are consenting to remain as co-owner of CCLOA or are opting their awarded lands to be parcelized into individual CLOA.

SECTION 3. Statement of Policies. —

3.1 As a general rule, the land awarded to an ARB should be in the form of an individual title, covering one (1) contiguous tract or several parcels of land cumulated up to a maximum of three (3) hectares.

Pursuant to Section 25 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended by Section 10 of R.A. No. 9700, it shall be the policy of DAR to parcelize CCLOAs where the beneficiaries do not opt for collective ownership and the LH does not exhibit any of the following four (4) conditions:

3.1.1 The current farm management system of the land covered by CARP will not be appropriate for individual farming of farm parcels;

3.1.2 The farm labor system is specialized, where the farmworkers are organized by functions and not by specific parcels such as spraying, weeding, packing and other similar functions;

3.1.3 The ARBs are currently not farming individual parcels but are collectively working on large contiguous areas; or

3.1.4 The farm consists of multiple crops being farmed in an integrated manner or includes non-crop production areas that are necessary for the viability of farm operations, such as packing plants, storage areas, dikes, and other similar facilities that cannot be subdivided or assigned to individual farmers.

3.2 The DAR recognizes the individual ARBs as collective owners of the awarded land, even if the same is registered under the name of a cooperative, group, or organization to which the individual ARB is a member at the time of CLOA registration. The names of all the collective owners should be inscribed in the face or annotated on the dorsal portion of the CCLOA. The ownership of the land is vested to the individual ARBs, not the cooperative, association, organization, or group.

3.3 In cases where some of the ARBs choose to maintain the CCLOA while the others opt to dissociate himself/themselves from a CCLOA, the same shall be parcelized resulting to a combination of individual CLOAs and CCLOAs subject to existing laws and policies of DAR. ATICcS

3.4 Each of the ARB in the CCLOA shall be entitled for a share not to exceed the three (3)-hectare award ceiling under CARP except for those lands distributed from Landed Estates and Settlement areas pursuant to Commonwealth Act (C.A.) No. 539, R.A. No. 1400, DAR Memorandum Circular (M.C.) No. 15, Series of 1983, and DAR A.O. No. 3, Series of 1990. The ownership of ARBs, who have occupied and cultivated the lands, and whose rights thereon have been vested prior to June 15, 1988 in accordance with pertinent laws, shall be recognized subject to applicable limit provided by the law from which the vested right was derived.

3.5 In the event that the LH covered by the CCLOAs have been parcelized and the ARBs have been allocated with the award ceiling, and there is still an excess area or remaining portion of the subject land for allocation, the PARPO shall cause the simultaneous conduct of identification, screening and selection of additional qualified beneficiaries in accordance with pertinent policy under R.A. No. 6657, as amended.

3.6 CCLOAs with whole area verified to be within inalienable areas as confirmed by way of a Certification issued by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)/Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), shall not be parcelized.

In case a portion of the landholding covered by CCLOA is determined to be not within inalienable areas, as confirmed by the DENR-CENRO, the same shall be segregated and parcelized.

3.7 In case of LHs where ARBs have or are with actual tillages, the DAR shall parcelize the same based on the actual areas of tillage provided that each area awarded to ARBs shall not exceed the three (3)-hectare limit. After applying the three (3)-hectare limit, the total/accumulated excess area shall be allocated in the most equitable and practicable manner to other ARBs in the CCLOA.

3.8 With respect to LHs, which do not have actual tillage at the time of parcelization of CCLOA, such as, among others, those formerly under a plantation system, the DAR shall parcelize the subject land based on the agreement of the ARBs.

In case of disagreement on the equitable allocation of the land, the following shall be observed, whichever is applicable:

3.8.1 Manner provided under Section 6 of Memorandum Circular No. 6, Series of 2014; or

3.8.2 Conduct of raffle, wherein the following shall be undertaken:

• Print in a piece of paper the names of the ARBs (one [1] per ARBs or group of ARBs)

• Draw the names of ARBs printed in a piece of paper or raffle through lottery by a DAR official or the ARBs themselves. Names of ARB shall be drawn from the raffle box/es in the presence of the BARC. Barangay Chairman or representative of any civic organization in the area.

• In case when a group of ARBs is drawn, the lot drawn shall be allocated to the first "ARB in the group" and the succeeding lot numbers in the schematic plan will be assigned/allocated to the other ARBs in the order as listed in the paper until the last member of the group is given/assigned a lot (e.g., ARB#3 = lot #9; thus, ARB#4 = lot #10; . . . ARB #9 = lot #15, if group of 7).

• After ten (10) days from the conduct of raffle, the concerned PARPO shall issue an Order of Lot Allocation (CARPER LAD Form No. 70-F).

3.9 Individual lots may be provided with access roads and other common use areas to be included in the parcelization scheme.

In determining the width of access road/right of way from the other lots, the area which is least prejudicial to the affected lot shall be considered. The access road/right of way shall be in accordance with the standard of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on access road specifications necessary to bring out the crops and to bring in the necessary farm implements. TIADCc

All common use areas as determined by DAR shall be segregated and titled in the name of the Republic of the Philippines (RP) and shall not be amortized under Section 26 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended and in accordance with Section 104 of A.O. No. 7, Series of 2011, as amended by Section 1 of A.O. No. 2, Series of 2016.

3.10 In case of death of the original ARB, the heirs shall substitute the deceased CLOA-holder upon their submission of a death certificate of the deceased ARB duly-certified by the pertinent government authority and other substantial proof of death without prejudice to a final Order of Reallocation. The CLOA shall be registered in the name of:

"The Heirs of _______________________________ [name of deceased ARB]" shall be stated in lieu of the deceased ARB in the annotation of names and issuance of individual CLOA.

3.11 For agrarian reform plantation-based cooperatives whose land is not under an Agribusiness Venture Arrangements (AVA) but is currently self-manage and operated by the agrarian reform plantation-based cooperative, a member who opts to voluntarily withdraw/sever his/her membership from the agrarian reform cooperative shall be entitled to a refund of his/her paid-up land share and cash share capital contribution and all other interests in the cooperative, pursuant to Rule 3, Section 5 of the Rules and Regulations Implementing Certain Provisions of the Cooperative Code of the Philippines.

The land share shall be forfeited and shall be transferred or assigned to existing ARB-members or to other qualified ARBs or held in trust by the cooperative pursuant to Section 4.8 of Joint DAR-Cooperative Development Authority (DAR-CDA) A.O. No. 9, Series of 2008.

3.12 Portions of a LH covered by CCLOAs with common service facilities as defined under Section 2.8 hereof shall be segregated and issued CCLOA. This shall be managed in a manner to be agreed upon by the ARBs, and as allowed by the prevailing laws. Land amortization due on the land shall be equally shared and paid collectively by the concerned ARBs.

3.13 Where the dispute/controversy does not affect the area of award, or the number of ARBs, the DAR shall continue the process of parcelization until the issuance of the subsequent individual CLOAs; and

Where the dispute/controversy shall result to a change in the size/area or to an increase/decrease in the number of ARBs, the process of parcelization shall be held in abeyance until the Order of the Regional Director/Secretary on the inclusion/exclusion of ARBs has become final and executory.

3.14 CCLOAs with legal or technical infirmities shall be processed as soon as such infirmities are properly addressed/resolved.

3.15 Subdivision survey of CCLOA undertaken by a private Geodetic Engineer commissioned by the co-owners is allowed. The RD, upon recommendation of the PARPO shall issue survey authority. The PARPO shall ensure that the survey and subsequent redocumentation of individual CLOAs are in accordance with the pertinent provisions of this A.O.
