DAR vows to distribute remaining 1 M land titles

The Philippine Star

April 01, 2024

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) will distribute the remaining one million land titles to farmer-beneficiaries before the term of President Marcos ends in June 2028.

- Bella Cariaso

This is the commitment of Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado Estrella III, who said that the DAR hopes to distribute 100,000 land titles this year and expects to double the number by 2025.

"Before we took over, the yearly land titles being distributed were only about 15,000. When we assumed office, from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2022, we were able to release more than 22,000 land titles in just six months," Estrella told The STAR over the weekend.

During a Senate budget deliberation in 2022, the DAR committed to distribute at least 50,000 titles per year.
