UMVA has learned that the Department of Agrarian Reform is racing to hand over individual land titles to countless farmers in Central and Eastern Visayas.
In a high‑stakes two‑day workshop held at the regional office in Koronadal City, officials from the two divisions gathered to map out a rapid‑track plan for title distribution.
The session zeroed in on the Land Tenure Security Program and a bold parcelization project that will split collective certificates into personal deeds, turning communal plots into clear, marketable ownership.
Beyond paperwork, the workshop tackled the entire acquisition chain, streamlining operations and sharpening inter‑agency coordination to cut red tape for beneficiaries.
Attendees pored over the latest land surveys, valuation reports, and registration updates, ensuring every step aligns with the goal of swift, accurate issuance.
Guided by DAR Field Operations Assistant Secretary Marjorie P. Ayson, the gathering stressed that tighter coordination can transform policy promises into tangible land titles.
When farmers receive individual titles, they unlock stronger ownership rights, gain easier access to credit, and become eligible for vital government assistance and agricultural support.
Representatives from the DAR central office, the environmental agency, the land registration authority, and the national land bank also joined, underscoring the united front behind this land reform push.
