The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) handed over Certificate of Land Ownership Awards (CLOA) composed of 95 hectares to some 94 farmers in the Province of Dinagat Islands recently.
Of the 94 beneficiaries, 36 farmers are from Cagdianao, 29 from San Jose and another 29 from Dinagat.
Provincial Administrator Ben Glen Ecleo, Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer (PARO) Jamil Amatonding, Jr. and Dinagat Vice Mayor Lilibeth Edradan led the distribution of the land titles.
In her message, Ecleo thanked DAR for its Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), which paved way for the distribution of these titles and many other development opportunities for the said province. He also challenged the beneficiaries to pay their taxes in order to augment the income of the province, and make their lands as productive as possible.
PARO Amatonding, on the other hand, said that more lands and opportunities are coming to the province. He also urged the farmers to continue uniting its efforts with the LGU to support CARP. (DAR-13/PIA-Caraga)
