DAR MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 04-14
| TO | : | All DAR Regional Directors |
| All Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officers | ||
| All Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officers | ||
| All Persons Concerned | ||
| SUBJECT | : | Guidelines Governing Landholdings that are for Inclusion in or Deduction from the Carper Land Acquisition and Distribution Database |
PREFATORY STATEMENT
The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is mandated to complete the acquisition and distribution of the remaining CARP-covered landholdings (LHs) in 2016. The CARPER LAD Database, however, shows that there is a significant proportion of LHs that are tagged as low priority. The documentation and processing of these LHs have been temporarily stalled due to legal, technical, operational and administrative issues. In many instances, these LHs are not targeted for distribution; hence, these are just set aside. However, those landholdings which are subject of requests for coverage shall be given priority in the documentation and processing.
There are also instances when certain LHs not previously included in the CARPER LAD Database are identified by either the DAR field personnel or other stakeholders and are validated to be coverable. In such cases, these LHs are added to the CARPER LAD Database.
In view of the foregoing, there is an urgent need to conduct the review and evaluation of the LHs tagged in CARPER LAD Database as low priority to determine which among them will remain classified as low priority, be transformed into workable, or for deduction so that the remaining balance could be firmed up immediately for the purpose of planning and programming of the LAD targets. Likewise, a review and validation of newly identified LHs has to be undertaken to identify which LHs are for inclusion to the CARPER LAD Database.
In all levels of the documentation, processing and evaluation of subject LHs, transparency shall be observed to provide all stakeholders the opportunity to participate in the process. Thus, the necessary support of all concerned agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), landowners, and agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) is of utmost importance.
This Memorandum Circular (MC) is issued to provide guidelines for the processing and evaluation of LHs for inclusion in and deduction from the CARPER LAD Database after compliance of certain requirements.
SECTION 1. Coverage. —
This MC shall cover all landholdings that are tagged as low priority or which are for deduction from the CARPER LAD Database as well as newly identified LHs found to be coverable under CARP which are for inclusion in the CARPER LAD Database.
SECTION 2. Definition of Terms. —
1. CARPER LAD Database — refers to DAR's inventory of all agricultural LHs officially adopted by the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council Executive Committee (PARC ExCom) as the CARPER LAD Balance of the DAR as of July 1, 2009, and all LHs not initially included but subsequently identified, validated and added to it. These LHs in the database have either been distributed to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs), retained by landowners, found to be not coverable under CARP or are still part of the balance as of January 1, 2014 for DAR's acquisition and distribution to ARBs.
2. Low Priority Landholdings — refer to agricultural landholdings in the CARPER LAD Database which exhibit characteristics that may render them not coverable under CARP during the LAD process. As such, these LHs shall be tagged as low priority LHs upon submission of supporting documents stipulated under Annex A (Matrix of Supporting Documents for LHs to be Declared as Low Priority and for Deduction from the CARPER LAD Database) of this MC. They shall remain in the LAD CARPER Database until declared as deducted by a final and executory order of the Regional Director or the Secretary.
3. Deducted Landholdings — refer to LHs listed in the CARPER LAD Database but have been found to be not coverable under CARP as evidenced by final and executory decisions/orders from the appropriate government entity and have been previously approved for deduction by the then LAD Technical Review Committee (LAD-TRC) pursuant to MC No. 8, Series of 2010, and those to be approved by the Regional Director or the Secretary pursuant to this MC. Those found to be either distributed before July 1, 2009 or with duplicate record in the LAD CARPER Balance as reflected in the LTI OpTool can be deducted from the database without the need for supporting documents. TECcHA
4. Landholdings for Inclusion — refer to newly identified agricultural LHs which were not included in the PARC ExCom-approved CARPER LAD Balance but have been validated to be coverable under CARP. These will be added to the CARPER LAD Database pursuant to the procedures under this MC.
5. High LAD Provincial Agrarian Reform Offices — refer to DAR Provincial Offices (DARPOs) with LAD balances of above 13,000 hectares. Twenty-two (22) DARPOs fall under this category and comprise 77% of the areas in the overall LAD balance. (See Annex B — List of High LAD and Low LAD Provincial Offices)
6. Low LAD Provincial Agrarian Reform Offices — refer to DAR Provincial Offices with LAD balances of 13,000 hectares and below. Fifty-three (53) DARPOs fall under this category and comprise 23% of the areas in the overall LAD balance. (See Annex-B — List of High LAD and Low LAD Provincial Offices)
7. LTI Operational Tool (OpTool) — is a web-based custom application designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness in working with land tenure improvement (LTI) data. It is a new consolidated repository of LTI data from all sources. It makes data available to all authorized users through the internet.
SECTION 3. CARPER LAD Balance Updating. —
The CARPER LAD Balance represents the gross area that will be documented and processed pursuant to existing guidelines on LAD. However, some areas have to be deducted when found to be non-CARPable during the preliminary ocular inspection (pre-OCI) by the Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officers (MARPOs) or during the conduct of DAR-Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) Joint Field Investigation (JFI). In addition, portions of CARPable lands are projected to be retained by the landowners who have not yet exercised their right of retention. Thus, there is a need to update the CARPER LAD Balance on an annual basis, the process of which shall be integrated with the Department's year-end assessment framework. The CARPER LAD Balance Updating Report which would show the consolidated output will be generated by the OpTool. This shall be presented to the PARC ExCom for approval.
The CARPER LAD Balance formula is:
| Beginning LAD Balance (as of the beginning of | ||
| Reporting Period) | ||
| Less: | Deducted LHs (during the Reporting Period) | |
| Add: | Included LHs (Newly Identified LHs Validated to be | |
| Coverable during the Reporting Period) | ||
| Equals: | Sub-Total (for Distribution) | |
| Less: | LAD Accomplishment for the year | |
| • | EP/CLOA awarded | |
| • | LO's retention areas | |
| • | Non-CARPable areas (e.g., roads, canal, rivers, etc.) | |
| Equals: | Ending LAD Balance as of end of Reporting Period | |
| Less: | Low Priority LHs | |
| Equals: | Ending Workable Balance (as of End of Reporting | |
| Period) |
Where:
| Beginning Balance | = | No. of LHs and area (has.) as of the |
| beginning of the reporting period | ||
| Deducted LHs | = | No. of LHs and area (has.) as defined in |
| Item 3, Sec. 2 hereof | ||
| Included LHs | = | No. of LHs and area (has.) as defined in |
| Item 4, Sec. 2 hereof | ||
| LAD Accomplishment | = | No. of LHs and area with EP/CLOA |
| awarded for the period, retention areas, | ||
| and Non-CARPable areas (e.g., roads, | ||
| canal, rivers, etc.) | ||
| Low Priority LHs | = | No. of LHs and area (has.) as defined in |
| Item 2, Sec. 2 hereof |
SECTION 4. Provincial Review and Validation of Landholdings for Inclusion in or Deduction from the CARPER LAD Balance. —
Within seven (7) days from the issuance of this MC, the Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II (PARPO II) shall convene or re-organize the Provincial Task Force on Problematic Landholdings (PTFPL) created pursuant to MC No. 9, Series of 2011.

2. Recommend to the concerned RD or RD of origin (as the case may be) the Approval/Disapproval of the inclusion in or deduction of LHs from the CARPER LAD Database using CARPER LAD Form 71 and 71-A and transmit same to the RD concerned or RD of origin.
SECTION 6. Procedures in the Processing of LHs for Inclusion in and Deduction from the CARPER LAD Balance. —
Immediately upon the issuance of this MC, the following shall be undertaken:
1. The PARPO shall:
1.1 Direct the LTI OpTool Administrator to generate and distribute copies to PTFPL members of the list of LHs tagged as low priority, including the specific reasons for tagging them as such, as well as the list of those LHs for inclusion in the CARPER LAD Database identified by the DAR and other stakeholders, and form a Secretariat to prepare the supporting documents therefor, as provided in Annex A (Matrix of Required Supporting Documents).
1.2 Within two (2) days from the receipt of the updated list of low priority LHs, and list of LHs for inclusion:
1.2.1 Convene the PTFPL to do an initial analysis and evaluation of the subject LHs on whether they can be transformed into workable ones or be instead considered for deduction, do an initial review of said LHs for inclusion in the CARPER LAD Database, and identify which of the LHs are already covered by PARCCOM resolutions previously submitted to the DAR Central Office LAD Technical Review Committee (now dissolved, with its functions assumed by the RLBET), and which LHs are not;
1.2.2 Provide the PARCCOM with the list of LHs not covered by previous resolutions, together with the supporting documents prepared by the Secretariat, with the request to do an initial review and recommendation thereof prior to the conduct of a Joint PTFPL-PARCCOM deliberation thereon to be convened by the PARPO; and IaDcTC
1.2.3 Simultaneous with the provision of the list to the PARCCOM, cause the posting of the list of LHs for inclusion in and deduction from the CARPER LAD Database in the bulletin boards of barangay and municipal halls for seven (7) days, as well as in the bulletin boards of the DARPO and DAR Municipal Offices (DARMO) where the properties are located (CARPER LAD Form No. 72), which list should be prominently labelled and located in front or in the lobby of the offices where it can be seen by the public; likewise, the PARPO shall send copies of the list to all concerned civil society organizations (CSOs) operating in the area, after which the Municipal/City Administrator,Barangay Captain/Secretary, BARC Chairman, MARPO, and PARPO II shall thereupon issue their corresponding Certification of Posting Compliance (CARPER LAD Form No. 72-A); in this regard, any person who may have concerns or wish to be clarified on the subject LH may submit their comments/protests/petitions to the DAR Regional Office within the seven (7) day period of posting.
Any protest/petition shall be resolved as an Agrarian Law Implementation (ALI) case pursuant to DAR AO No. 2, Series of 2003, entitled, "2003 Rules for Agrarian Law Implementation Cases".
Pending final and executory resolution of the ALI case, the landholding will be treated as low priority for land acquisition and distribution.
