Farmers troop to DAR, demand immediate distribution of private agricultural lands
- 2 months ago
Farmers from Negros Occidental and Batangas trooped to the main office of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in Quezon City on Monday, February 19, 2024, to demand the immediate distribution of private agricultural lands (PALs) as promised last year by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The farmers from La-iya, Batangas demands that the Land Bank of the Philippines (Landbank) hasten the issuance of the certificate of deposit (COD) to the account of the Batangas landowner since a memorandum of valuation (MOV) had already been received by the Hennessy Corp., three years ago, while framers from Negros Occidental want President Marcos Jr. that all 12 haciendas covering 4,654 hectares controlled by the late business tycoon Eduardo Cojuangco distributed to thousands of landless farmers.
