SUBJECT

Rules and Procedures Governing the Acquisition and Distribution of

Agricultural Lands Under Republic Act (R.A.) No. 6657, as Amended by R.A. No. 9700

I.

Prefatory Statement

Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9700, which amends R.A. No. 6657, provides for, among others,
the continuing acquisition and distribution of agricultural lands covered under the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) for a period of five (5) years under
various phases, and the simultaneous provision of support services and the delivery of
agrarian justice to Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs). It further provides that after
June 30, 2009, the modes of acquisition shall be limited to voluntary offer to sell (VOS)
and compulsory acquisition (CA) and that voluntary land transfer (VLT) shall be allowed
only for landholdings submitted for VLT as of June 30, 2009.
The agrarian reform program is founded on the right of farmers and regular
farmworkers, who are landless, to own directly or collectively the lands they till or, in
the case of other farmworkers, to receive a just share of the fruits thereof. To this end,
the State shall encourage and undertake the just distribution of all agricultural lands,
subject to the priorities and retention limits set forth under R.A. No. 6657, as amended,
taking into account ecological, developmental, and equity considerations, and subject to
the payment of just compensation. Owners of agricultural land have the obligation to
cultivate directly or through labor administration the lands they own and thereby make
the land productive.
The principles of agrarian reform or stewardship shall be in accordance with law in the
disposition or utilization of other natural resources, including lands of the public domain,
under lease or concession, suitable to agriculture, subject to prior rights, homestead
rights of small settlers and the rights of indigenous communities to their ancestral
lands.
To ensure the completion of land acquisition and distribution within the prescribed
period, the following rules and procedures are hereby promulgated.
II.

Coverage

These rules and regulations shall govern the acquisition and distribution of all
agricultural lands yet to be acquired and/or to be distributed under the CARP in
accordance with R.A. No. 6657, as amended by R.A. No. 9700.

Definition of Terms
Landless Beneficiary is any farmer/tiller who owns less than three (3) hectares of

agricultural land.

2.

Share Tenant refers to a person who himself and with the aid available from

within his immediate farm household, cultivates the land belonging to or possessed by
another with the latters consent, for purposes of production, sharing the produce with
the landholder under the share tenancy system, or paying the landholder a price certain
or ascertainable in produce or in money or both, under the leasehold tenancy system.
This arrangement has been abolished byR.A. No. 3844, as amended, which
automatically converted the relations under leasehold.
3.

Agricultural lessee refers to a person who, by himself and with the aid available

from within his immediate farm household, cultivates the land, belonging to or lawfully
possessed by another, with the latters consent for purposes of agricultural production,
for a price certain in money or in produce or both. It is distinguished from civil lessee as
understood in the Civil Code of the Philippines.
4.

Farmworker refers to a natural person who renders service for value as an

employee or laborer in an agricultural enterprise or farm regardless of whether his/her

compensation is paid on a daily, weekly, monthly or pakyaw basis. The term includes
an individual whose work has ceased as a consequence of, or in connection with, a
pending agrarian or labor dispute and who has not obtained a substantially equivalent
and regular farm employment.
5.

Regular Farmworker refers to a natural person who is considered employed on a

permanent basis by a landowner engaged in an agricultural enterprise or farm.

6.

Seasonal farmworker refers to a natural person who is employed on a recurrent,

periodic or intermittent basis by an agricultural enterprise or farm, whether as a

permanent or a non-permanent laborer, such as dumaan, sacada, and the like.
7.

Other farmworkers refer to farmworkers who do not fall under Items 5 and 6 of

this Section.
8.

Cooperatives refer to organizations composed primarily of small agricultural

producers, farmers, farmworkers, or other agrarian reform beneficiaries who voluntarily

organize themselves for the purpose of pooling land, human, technological, financial or
other economic resources, and operate on the principle of one member, one vote. A
juridical person may be a member of a cooperative, with the same rights and duties as
a natural person.
9.

Substantially Equivalent and Regular Employment means any employment or

profession from which the applicant farmer derives income equivalent to the income of
a regular farmworker at the time of ARB identification, screening and
selection.
10.

IcAaSD

Agrarian Dispute refers to any controversy relating to tenurial arrangements,

whether leasehold, tenancy, stewardship, or otherwise, over lands devoted to

agriculture, including disputes concerning farmworkers associations, or representation

of persons in negotiating, fixing, maintaining, changing or seeking to arrange terms and

conditions of such tenurial arrangements.
It includes any controversy relating to compensation of lands acquired
under R.A. No. 6657 and other terms and conditions of transfer of ownership from
landowners to farmworkers, tenants and other ARBs, whether the disputants stand in
proximate relation of farm operator and beneficiary, landowner and tenant, or lessor
and lessee.
11.

Usufruct refers to a real right conferred on the beneficiary/usufructuary to enjoy

the fruits of the property of another with the obligation of preserving its form,
substance, and productivity.
12.

Direct Management in so far as preferred beneficiaries are concerned, refers to

the cultivation of the land through personal supervision under the system of labor
administration. It shall be interpreted along the lines of farm management as an actual
major activity being performed by the landowners child from which he/she derives
his/her primary source of income.
13.

Newspaper of General Circulation refers to newspaper or publication of general

circulation, which may be national or local to where the property is located.

14.

Award is the conferment of Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) title to

qualified agrarian reform beneficiaries.

10.

Land subject to a conversion order but not developed within the five-year period

starting from the issuance of the conversion order or the specific time frame stipulated
therein, or if there is a violation of other conditions so provided, shall be reverted to
agricultural use and Notice of Coverage thereon shall be issued by the PARO. An ocular

inspection shall be conducted by the PARO on all lands covered by conversion orders
and shall submit a factual finding on land development or violations of conditions on the
conversion orders if any, to the Regional Director, copy furnished the Center for Land
Use Policy, Planning and Implementation (CLUPPI), for appropriate action pursuant to
the existing implementing rules and regulations (IRR) on land use conversion.
11.

CcAITa

As a general rule, the Notice of Coverage (NOC) shall be addressed to and

received by the LO through the following modes of service:

11.1

Personal Service This is made by handing a copy of the NOC to the LO in

person and having him receive it by affixing his signature or thumbmark with a witness
to the thumbmark who will set his signature in the receiving copy.
11.2

Substituted Service If personal service of the NOC cannot be served directly to

the LO within a reasonable time, service may be made by leaving copies of the NOC and
having this duly received at the LOs:
a.

residence with some person of suitable age and discretion residing therein; or

b.

office or regular place of business with some competent person in charge

thereof.
11.3

Service by Registered Mail If personal or substituted service is not practicable,

the Notice of Coverage shall be sent by registered mail to the last known address of the
LO. The registered mail envelope shall be marked Deliver to Addressee
Only and Return to Sender based on the possibilities that the LO has moved out,
address is erroneous or insufficient, or the LO refuses to accept or receive the mailed
NOC.
11.4

Service by Publication The mode of service by publication shall apply if the LO

is outside the Philippines, or whereabouts is unknown, or LO refused to receive the NOC.

If any of the three (3) modes of service {Items IV (A) (11.1 to 11.3) of this Order} fails,
the NOC will be published in a newspaper of general circulation in such places. Service
by publication shall be evidenced by the affidavit of the editor-in-chief, or
circulation/advertising manager attesting to the fact of said publication and a copy of
the said publication. A Return to Sender stamped on the mailing envelope for
registered mail will serve as proof that the NOC was not received by the LO. The
publication need not state the entire contents of the NOC but only the following
essential particulars:

11.4.1 Coverage of the subject landholding under CARP on the specific land acquisition
schedule based on the prioritized phasing under Section 5 of R.A. No. 9700;
11.4.2 Original Certificate of Title (OCT)/Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT)/Latest Tax
Declaration No/s.;
11.4.3 Complete name/s of the LO/s and last known address, if available;

HTCIcE

11.4.4 Address or location of the subject landholding (barangay, city/municipality,

province); and
11.4.5 A statement that the LO has thirty (30) calendar days from date of NOC
publication to reply to the NOC, and that failure to do so shall be a waiver of the right to
choose his retention area, the privilege to nominate child/children who may qualify as
preferred beneficiaries and to apply for exemption/exclusion from CARP coverage.
12.
12.1

The other modes of service/delivery/receipt of the NOC shall be as follows:

Service upon co-owners In case of co-ownership, the NOC shall be served upon

each and every co-owner, unless one is specifically authorized to receive for the coowners.
12.2

Service upon minors or incompetents When the LO is a minor, insane or

otherwise incompetent, service shall be made upon him/her personally and to his/her
legal guardian if he/she has one, or if none, upon his/her guardian ad litem whose
appointment shall be applied for by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR). In the
case of a minor, service may also be made on his/her father and/or mother.
12.3

Service upon entity without juridical personality When the LOs who are

persons associated through an entity without juridical personality are issued a NOC
under the name by which they are generally or commonly known, service may be
effected upon all the LOs by serving upon any one of them, or upon the person in
charge of the office or place of business maintained in such name. Such service shall
not individually bind any person whose connection with the entity has, upon due notice,
been severed before the proceeding was brought.
12.4

Service upon domestic private juridical entity When the LO is a corporation,

partnership or association organized under the laws of the Philippines with a juridical
personality, service may be made on the president, managing partner, general
manager, corporate secretary, treasurer, in-house counsel or administrator.

13.

Within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of NOC or from its date of

publication, the LO has:

13.1

The right to choose a retention area not exceeding five (5) hectares pursuant to

Section 6 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended; and

13.2

The privilege to nominate child/ren who may qualify as preferred

beneficiary/ies.

SaETCI

The landowner is likewise given the same thirty (30)-day prescribed period from
receipt or date of publication of NOC, whichever is applicable, within which to protest
coverage. Upon receipt of the protest of coverage by DAR, the LO is given another thirty
(30) days to substantiate his/her protest and/or application for exemption or exclusion
from CARP coverage. Failure to comply within the aforementioned 30-day reglementary
periods shall be construed as a waiver or abandonment of the right to protest and/or to
file for an application for exemption or exclusion from CARP coverage.
14.

Notwithstanding a protest of coverage or an application for exemption or

exclusion by a landowner, the processing of the claim folder, including valuation and the
issuance of Certification of Deposit (COD) by the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) and
the transfer of title to the Republic of the Philippines, shall continue unless the Regional
Director or the DAR Secretary, as the case may be, suspends the processing based on
preliminary findings on grounds for exemption or exclusion or the Supreme Court issues
a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on the processing of the claim folder.
B.

Retention

1.

All landholdings five (5) hectares and below shall not be subject to CARP

coverage except for landholdings submitted for voluntary offer to sell (VOS) before July
1, 2009 wherein the retention right has been waived. The PAROs shall issue Certification
of Retention to landowners who have already availed of the same and cover all areas in
excess thereof.
2.

For VOS lands submitted prior to July 1, 2009 where the master list of ARBs has

been finalized, the retention areas of landowners covered under said VOS shall be
processed under the existing guidelines of R.A. No. 6657, as amended, before July 1,
2009.

3.

Landowners who own lands five (5) hectares or less may file a request for the

issuance of Certification of Retention.

4.

Landholdings covered by homestead grants and Free Patents issued pursuant to

Commonwealth Act (C.A.) No. 141 still owned by the original grantees or their direct
compulsory heirs shall be retained by them as long as they were cultivating the said
landholdings at the time of the approval of R.A. No. 9700 and continue to cultivate the
same.
5.

Heirs of deceased landowners who died after June 15, 1988 and whose lands are

covered under CARP are only entitled to the five (5) hectare retention area of the
deceased landowner.
6.

For landholdings under compulsory acquisition (CA), the landowner shall choose

his retained area within thirty (30) days from receipt of Notice of Coverage (NOC) or
date of publication of NOC.

TEaADS

Failure to exercise the right to choose within the prescribed period shall
constitute a waiver thereof. In which case the DAR, through the MARO, shall
automatically choose for the landowner his/her retention area.
For landholdings under voluntary offer to sell (VOS), the landowner shall exercise
his right of retention simultaneously at the time of the offer for sale of the subject
landholding.
7.

When landowners waive their right of choice, the following factors shall be

considered in choosing their retention area:

6.1 commodity produced;
6.2 terrain;
6.3 infrastructure available; and
6.4 soil fertility.
8.

For marriages covered by the New Civil Code, in the absence of an agreement

for the judicial separation of property, spouses whose agricultural land properties are all

conjugal may retain a total of not more than five (5) hectares of such properties.
However, if either or both of them are landowners in their respective rights (capital
and/or paraphernal), they may each retain not more than five (5) hectares of their
respective landholdings. In no case shall the total retention of such couple exceed ten
(10) hectares.
9.

For marriages covered by the Family Code, which took effect on August 03,

1988, a husband owning capital property and/or a wife owning paraphernal property
may retain not more than five (5) hectares each, provided they executed a judicial
separation of properties prior to entering into such marriage. In the absence of such an
agreement, all properties (capital, paraphernal and conjugal) shall be considered to be
held in absolute community, i.e., the ownership relationship is one, and, therefore, only
a total of five (5) hectares may be retained by each couple.
10.

The DAR shall notify the LO, through personal service with proof of receipt or by

registered mail with return card, the portion selected as his/her retention area if the LO
fails to exercise such right within the prescribed period.
11.

In case a tenant chooses to remain in the LOs retained area, he/she shall be a

leaseholder in the said land and shall not qualify to be a beneficiary under CARP.
Conversely, if the tenant chooses to be a beneficiary in another agricultural land, he/she
cannot be a leaseholder in the land retained by the LO. The tenant must exercise this
option within a period of one (1) year from the time the LO manifests his/her choice of
the area for retention.
12.

Tenants/lessees in the retained areas who do not wish to become leaseholders in

the retained lands shall be given preference in other landholdings whether or not these
lands belong to the same landowner, without prejudice to the farmers who are already
in place and subject to the priorities under Section 22 of R.A. No. 6657, as
amended.
13.

IcESDA

In all cases, the security of tenure of the farmers or farmworkers on the LOs

retained land prior to the approval of R.A. No. 6657, as amended, shall be respected.
Further, actual tenant-farmers in the landholdings shall not be ejected or removed
therefrom.
14.

Land transactions executed prior to R.A. No. 6657, as amended, shall be valid

only when registered with the Registry of Deeds within a period of three (3) months
after June 15, 1988 in accordance with Section 6 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended.

Where the transfer/sale of a landholding involves a total of five (5) hectares and
below and such landholding is the retention area of the transferor or subject of retention
by the transferor, and the transferee will not own an aggregate of more than five (5)
hectares as a result of the sale, the transfer is legal and proper. However, a DAR
clearance is needed for the purpose of monitoring and as requisite for the registration of
the title in the name of the transferee with the Registry of Deeds (ROD).
In the case of multiple or a series of transfers/sales, only the first five (5)
hectares sold/conveyed and the corresponding titles issued by the ROD in the name of
the transferee shall be considered valid and be treated as the transferors retained area,
but in no case shall the transferee exceed the five (5)-hectare landholding ceiling
pursuant to Sections 6, 70 and 73 (a) of R.A. No. 6657, as amended. In so far as the
excess area beyond five (5) hectares sold and conveyed is concerned, the same shall be
covered under CARP, regardless of whoever is the current title-holder to the land,
considering that the transferor has no right of disposition of these lands since CARP
coverage of these lands is mandated by law as of June 15, 1988. Any landholding still
registered in the name of the landowner after earlier dispositions up to an aggregate of
five (5) hectares are no longer part of his retention area and therefore shall be covered
under CARP.
15.

CARP covered agricultural lands which are to be expropriated or acquired by the

local government units (LGUs) and to be used for actual, direct and exclusive public
purposes, such as roads and bridges, public markets, school sites, resettlement sites,
local government facilities, public parks and barangay plazas or squares, consistent with
the approved local government land use plan, shall not be subject to the five-hectare
retention limit. However, prior to the expropriation/acquisition by the LGU, the subject
land shall first undergo the land acquisition and distribution process of the CARP, and
the ARBs therein shall be paid just compensation without prejudice to their qualifying as
ARBs in other landholdings under the CARP.
16.

The title of the land awarded under the agrarian reform program must indicate

that it is an Emancipation Patent (EP) or Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA)

and any subsequent transfer of title must also indicate that it is an EP or a CLOA.
17.

Pursuant to Section 4 of R.A. No. 9700, an LGU may, through its Chief Executive

and/or an ordinance, exercise the power of eminent domain on agricultural lands for
public use, purpose, or welfare of the poor and the landless, upon payment of just
compensation to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) on these lands, pursuant to the

provisions of the Constitution and pertinent laws. The power of eminent domain may not
be exercised unless a valid and definite offer has been previously made to the ARBs,
and such offer was not accepted. In cases where the land sought to be acquired has
been issued with a Notice of Coverage or is already subject to voluntary offer to sell
(with letter-offer submitted to DAR) the concerned LGU shall suspend the exercise of its
power of eminent domain until after the LAD process has been completed and the title
to the property has been transferred to the ARBs.

cDACST

Where agricultural lands have been subjected to expropriation, the ARBs therein
shall be paid just compensation. For this purpose, lands subjected to expropriation
includes all agricultural lands which have been reviewed and approved by the DAR to be
actually, directly and exclusively used by the LGU for public purpose with a case for
expropriation already filed by the LGU before a judicial court. ARBs are those who have
been certified by the Barangay Agrarian Reform Council (BARC) and DAR as
beneficiaries of the subject landholdings.
18.

The expropriation/conversion of agricultural lands shall be subject to the existing

guidelines of DAR on land conversion. Irrigable and irrigated lands where (1) there is
agricultural activity, (2) land is suitable for agriculture, or (3) the land is presently
occupied and tilled by farmers shall not be subject of expropriation by the LGUs.
C.
1.

Land Acquisition
Pursuant to Section 3 of R.A. No. 9700, the landholdings of LOs owning a total of

five (5) hectares or less shall not be subject of acquisition and distribution under CARP.
2.

Landholdings above five (5) hectares which were offered under voluntary land

transfer (VLT) and not approved by the DAR shall be covered under compulsory
acquisition (CA).
All VLT applications submitted to DAR after June 30, 2009 shall no longer be
processed.
3.

Landowners (LOs) may voluntarily offer their private agricultural lands for

coverage under R.A. No. 6657, as amended or under R.A. No. 9700. Upon its acceptance
by the DAR, the Letter-Offer for coverage under Voluntary Offer to Sell (VOS) can no
longer be withdrawn. In any case, the DAR can immediately subject such landholding to
coverage under compulsory acquisition and distribution under CARP notwithstanding
the schedule of prioritized phasing under R.A. No. 9700.

The acceptance letter for VOS shall stipulate that upon offer under VOS, the
schedule of coverage under R.A. No. 9700 is deemed waived.
Landowners who received NOCs for their landholdings under Compulsory
Acquisition (CA) may be allowed to shift to Voluntary Offer to Sell (VOS), provided, that
the claim folder (CF) for the subject landholding has not yet been received by the
Claims Processing, Valuation and Payment Division (CPVPD) of the Land Bank of the
Philippines (LBP) for valuation.
4.

Landowners who have voluntarily offered their landholdings for coverage under

CARP and those who have previously waived their rights to retain are disqualified from
becoming ARBs of other landholding/s being covered or to be covered under CARP. The
LOs voluntary offer or his previous waiver is construed to be his inability and/or
unwillingness to cultivate the land and make it productive.

EcIDaA

Likewise, children of the same landowners who were not nominated as preferred
beneficiaries are disqualified from becoming an ARB in another landholding following
the qualification criteria pursuant to Section 22 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended.
5.

For tenanted lands or lands under leasehold, the Agrarian Reform Beneficiary/ies

(ARB/s) shall continue to pay their lease rentals as tenants/lessees based on their
leasehold contracts until such time that the LBP issues a Certification of Deposit (COD).
6.

As a general rule, untitled public alienable and disposable (A & D) lands are

within the jurisdiction of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
pursuant to Commonwealth Act (C.A.) No. 141 (Public Land Act). However, subject lands
are deemed private and for coverage by the DAR, if all the requisites specified in R.A.
No. 6940, as amended by R.A. No. 9176 for the determination whether or not private
rights over a landholding have already been acquired based on the following:
a.

Continuous occupancy and cultivation by oneself or through ones predecessors-

in-interest for at least thirty (30) years prior to the effectivity of R.A. No. 9176 on
December 4, 2002 (i.e., December 1972);
b.

The land must have been classified as alienable and disposable for at least thirty

(30) years prior to the effectivity of R.A. No. 9176;

c.

One must have paid the real estate tax thereon; and

d.

There are no adverse claims on the land.

In cases where the DAR and DENR have jointly identified specific untitled

properties that may be covered under the LAD component of CARP, the DENRCommunity Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO)/Provincial Environment
and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) or Regional Technical Director (RTD) Land
Management Service (LMS) shall issue the certification that the subject tract of land is
within an area classified as alienable and disposable.
7.

The current list of all lands covered by NOCs and all remaining unacquired and

undistributed landholdings covered under CARP that are in the process of acquisition
and distribution or will be acquired based on the schedule of priorities under Section 5
of R.A. No. 9700 shall be submitted by the DARPO to the ROD concerned for segregation
of the corresponding original copy of the Certificates of Title of all these lands from the
regular volume or files of the Registry, and the compilation of the same in a new
separate volume (CARP Volume) until the customary number of titles constituting a
regular volume is reached. This CARP Volume shall be treated as a restricted volume
and any voluntary transaction on any of the titles included in this restricted file shall be
subject to clearance in writing from the PARO. The maintenance of the CARP Volume
shall be undertaken by the LRA-CARP personnel under the supervision of the
ROD.

AHaDSI

8.

Any title contained in the CARP Volume shall only be returned to the

general/regular file upon proof that the property covered by said title is exempted,
excluded or ascertained to be outside CARP coverage. Such proof may be in the form of
a Court Order or DAR Order which has become final and executory.
9.

The ROD shall issue a Transfer Certificate of Title (for titled properties) and an

Original Certificate of Title (for untitled properties) in the name of the Republic of the
Philippines (RP title) upon receipt of a copy of the LBPs Certification of Deposit (COD)
from the DARPO.
10.

Landholdings distributed by the DENR under R.A. No. 6657, as amended shall no

longer be acquired and distributed by the DAR.

11.

Landholdings subject of acquisition shall be validated based on ownership

documents and on the projection by the DAR on DENR land classification maps to
determine whether or not the areas are alienable and disposable.

12.

All projections undertaken by the DARPO on land titles, whether administratively

or judicially (survey was based on the cadastral map of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources {DENR}) issued, shall be confirmed or validated by the DENRCommunity Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) or Provincial
Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) as to the land classification status of
said lands.
All projections undertaken by the DARPO on lands covered by judicially issued
titles and whose survey was based on the Private Survey (Psu) Plan of the Land
Registration Authority (LRA) shall be confirmed or validated by the LRA on whether
these lands do not overlap with other titled or decreed property.
13.

Titles judicially issued prior to 1921 based on Act No. 2874 need not be validated

or confirmed by the DENR-CENRO/PENRO as to their land classification status as such

lands are classified as alienable and disposable. However, the DARPO shall:
13.1

Undertake the projection as to land classification status; and

13.2

Obtain a certification from the Land Registration Authority (LRA) that the

property does not overlap with a titled or decreed property. Such certification shall
include, among others, the Judicial Decree number, date of issuance of Decree, name of
adjudicatee, location and area.
Such properties that partially overlap with other titled or decreed properties
shall be segregated accordingly during the conduct of survey by the landholdings
subject of acquisition. The acquisition and distribution of such landholdings that either
partially or fully overlap with decreed properties shall continue regardless in whose
name the decree is.
14.

TCaEIc

As a general rule, the conduct of survey to determine land use, segregation of

coverable and not coverable area, and subdivision survey shall be undertaken prior to
field investigation (FI). The PARO shall ensure that all field survey activities shall be
completed before the conduct of field investigation (FI).
However, in the event that the finalization of the master list of ARBs will
necessitate resolution of petitions for inclusion and exclusion of ARBs in the master list,
the PARO shall inform the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) regarding the matter, in
which case, the conduct of subdivision survey will come after the field investigation (FI)

or upon the finalization of the master list of ARBs so as not to delay the land acquisition
process.
15.

The Land Use Management and Development (LUMD) fund shall be released and

utilized only for CARP covered lands with Requisition Survey Services (RSS) approved by
the DARs Bureau of Land Development (BLD), pursuant to existing guidelines on
requisition, approval and monitoring of survey services.
16.

A landowner-mortgagor of a foreclosed agricultural land where the two-year

right of redemption period has already expired and is subsequently to be covered under
CARP, cannot qualify as an ARB on the foreclosed land notwithstanding his/her being in
actual possession and cultivation thereof. The DAR shall be responsible for taking
possession of the land by negotiating or filing of the appropriate case, if necessary, and
to successfully install the qualified ARB/s.
D.
1.

Land Valuation and Landowner Compensation

The compensation for lands covered under R.A. No. 9700 shall be: a) the amount

determined in accordance with the criteria provided for in Section 7 of the said law and
existing guidelines on land valuation; or b) the value based on the order of the DAR
Adjudication Board (DARAB) or the regular court, which has become final and executory.
The basic formula for the valuation of lands covered by VOS or CA shall be:
LV = (CNI x 0.60) + (CS x 0.30) + (MV x 0.10)
Where: LV =

Land Value

CNI =
CS =

Capitalized Net Income (based on land use and productivity)

Comparable Sales (based on fair market value equivalent to 70%

of BIR Zonal Value)

MV =

Market Value per Tax Declaration (based on Government

assessment)
1.1

If three factors are present

ATcEDS

When the CNI, CS and MV are present, the formula shall be:

LV = (CNI x 0.60) + (CS x 0.30) + (MV x 0.10)

1.2

If two factors are present

1.2.1 When the CS factor is not present and CNI and MV are applicable, the formula
shall be:
LV = (CNI x 0.90) + (MV x 0.10)
1.2.2 When the CNI factor is not present, and CS and MV are applicable, the formula
shall be:
LV = (CS x 0.90) + (MV x 0.10)
1.3

If only one factor is present

When both the CS and CNI are not present and only MV is applicable, the

formula shall be:

LV = MV x 2
In no case shall the value of idle land using the formula (MV x 2) exceed the
lowest value of land within the same estate under consideration or within the same
barangay, municipality or province (in that order) approved by LBP within one (1) year
from receipt of Claim Folder (CF.)
The specific guidelines governing the valuation of lands under voluntary offer to
sell (VOS) or compulsory acquisition (CA) pursuant to R.A. No. 6657, as amended by R.A.
No. 9700 are provided in CARP-LAD Annex A of this Order.
2.

All previously acquired lands wherein valuation is subject to challenge by

landowners shall be completed and finally resolved pursuant to Section 17 of R.A. No.
6657, as amended.
In like manner, claims over tenanted rice and corn lands under P.D. No. 27 and
Executive Order (E.O.) No. 228 whether submitted or not to the Land Bank of the
Philippines (LBP) and not yet approved for payment shall be valued under R.A. No. 6657,
as amended.

Landholdings covered by P.D. No. 27 and falling under Phase I of R.A. No. 9700
shall be valued under R.A. No. 9700.
3.

In cases of rejection, landowners may withdraw the original value of the

landholding as determined by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and Land Bank
of the Philippines (LBP) per Memorandum of Valuation (MOV) and subsequently
deposited in their names, subject to their submission of the requirements for
payment.

ATESCc

When the LO later accepts the original value or as recomputed by the LBP based
on existing valuation guidelines, mere filing of a manifestation by the LO as regards the
acceptance of the original value or a joint manifestation by the LO and the LBP on the
recomputed value with the DAR Adjudication Board (DARAB) shall automatically
terminate the just compensation case pending thereat.
4.

Landowners, other than banks and financial institutions, who voluntarily offer

their lands for sale, shall be entitled to an additional five percent (5%) cash payment.
5.

For landholdings which were conveyed after the effectivity of R.A. No. 6657, the

LBP shall consider the transferor as the payee.

However, payment must be released to the LO-transferee if the LO-transferor
issues a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) or Deed of Assignment in favor of the former.
6.

In the determination of the Annual Gross Production (AGP), Selling Price (SP) and

Cost of Operation (CO) to be used in the land valuation, the audited financial statement
filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) shall be obtained by the DARMO from the
LO fifteen (15) days prior to the date of field investigation. If the landowner fails to
submit the same, the DAR and LBP may adopt applicable industry data or, in the
absence thereof, conduct an industry study on the specific crop.
7.

Small portions or patches within the covered landholdings which are determined

to be less productive than the bigger portion during the conduct of joint field
investigation shall be valued based on the current use of the adjacent portions, provided
that said small portions or patches shall not exceed 10% of the productive area.

Likewise, small portions or patches of landholdings above 18 percent slope,

undeveloped and of no use to the landowner shall be valued as idle provided it shall not
exceed 10% of the covered landholding.
E.

4.

Only after the agricultural lessees and share tenants, and regular farmworkers

have each been awarded three (3) hectares pursuant to Section 8 of R.A. No. 9700, shall
other qualified beneficiaries such as seasonal farmworkers, other farmworkers, actual
tillers/occupants of public lands, collectives or cooperatives of the above beneficiaries,
and others directly working on the land, be accommodated.
5.

The child of an LO shall be given preference in the distribution of his/her parents

land pursuant to existing rules and regulations on award to children of LOs provided
he/she meets all of the following criteria:
5.1

Filipino citizen;

5.2

At least fifteen (15) years of age; and

5.3

investigation of the landholding under CARP.

However, only untenanted portions of the landholding may be subject to award

to qualified children of the LO and actual tenant-tillers in the landholding shall not be
ejected or removed therefrom. An LOs child cannot claim that he/she is directly
managing the farm or a specific area of tillage, if the same has tenants or lessees,
considering that the tenants on the land have the right to directly manage the land or
area of tillage with the obligation to pay the LO lease rental therefor.
6.

In the event that the agricultural land for distribution in commercial farms or

plantations is sufficient following the order of priority under Section 22 of R.A. No. 6657,
as amended, the farmworker-beneficiaries therein on or prior to 15 June 1988, shall
enjoy priority of award of a maximum of three (3) hectares.
On the other hand, farmworkers who were hired after the effectivity of R.A. No.
6657 shall be accommodated based on their length of service, reckoned from 15 June
1988, and subject to Item IV (F) (1.2) of this Order.
7.

All potential ARBs of a landholding who have been included in the preliminary

list, including those who have signified their intent or interest with the DARMO to be
included in the preliminary list of potential ARBs thereof, must submit the essential
documents to prove their qualifications as ARBs as provided under Item V (D.1.d) of this
Order within fifteen (15) days from posting of the said list.
Potential ARBs who fail to comply with the submission of the required
documents to prove their qualifications fifteen (15) days from the last day of posting of
the preliminary list of ARBs shall not be delisted from the preliminary list of ARBs. The
DARMO shall use available documentary evidence at hand, if any, or exhaust all efforts
to gather the necessary information/evidence as bases in the evaluation of the potential
ARBs qualifications and inclusion in the said list.
8.

For the purpose of screening and selection of qualified ARBs in commercial

farms, plantations and other landholdings that qualify for collective distribution under
Item IV (F) (4) of this Order, all concerned PAROs shall create a Beneficiary Screening
Committee (BSC) whose members shall be composed of the PARO as the Ex-Officio
Chairperson, the MARO, the DARPO Legal Offer, the Provincial Agrarian Reform
Coordinating Committee (PARCCOM) Chairman or his representative and the BARC
Chairman of the area where the landholding is located or his representative, pursuant to
DAR A.O. No. 7, Series of 2003.

The BSC may invite the landowner/s and/or civil society organization (CSO)
representatives in the area to serve as resource persons in the ARB selection and
screening process, as may be necessary.
The BSC shall exercise exclusive jurisdiction in the screening and selection of
ARBs in commercial farms, plantations and other landholdings for collective distribution
to ARBs.
9.

Qualified beneficiaries in a particular landholding shall include those

determined/identified by the DAR during the actual investigation and documentation

process. The master list of ARBs selected by the MAROs or the Beneficiaries Screening
Committee (BSC) in the case of commercial farms or plantations, shall be certified under
oath by the BARC and further attested to under oath by the LO in so far as his tenants,
lessees and regular farmworkers in the landholding are concerned, pursuant to Item IV
(E) (10) of this Order.
10.

TacADE

The right of the LO to attest to the master list of ARBs in so far as the tenants,

lessees and regular farmworkers in his/her landholdings are concerned, is deemed

waived after the lapse of fifteen (15) days from his/her receipt of the said master list of
ARBs, if he fails to act on it within the said period. Thereafter, the master list of ARBs
shall become final and executory. Landowners who fail, refuse or delay the issuance of
the attestation despite proof of qualification of the beneficiaries, shall be liable under
Sections 24 and 25 of R.A. No. 9700.
In case of partial or full non-attestation or repudiation by the LO of the ARBs in
the master list, the LO shall be required to submit evidence to sustain his partial or full
non-attestation, repudiation of ARBs, and/or substitution or addition to the master list of
ARBs.
The landowners refusal to attest to all or specific ARB/s in the master list
despite the presentation of proof of their being either tenants or lessees or regular
farmworkers shall not in any way delay the LAD process. The MARO shall submit a
report on this to the PARO.
11.

The DARPO shall, within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the DARMOs report,

conduct a revalidation of the qualifications of the ARBs being tenants or lessees or

regular farmworkers in cases where the landowner refuses to attest to:

11.1

Specific ARBs in the master list of ARBs (partial attestation);

11.2

Specific ARBs in the master list of ARBs (partial attestation) and identifies other

ARBs either by substitution or addition whom the LO claims are his tenants, lessees or
regular farmworkers; or
11.3

All ARBs in the master list of ARBs (full non-attestation) and identifies other ARBs

either by substitution or addition whom the LO claims are his tenants, lessees or regular
farmworkers.
Should the PARO find that there is possible merit to the LOs partial or full nonattestation of the master list of ARBs, he shall order the BARC to conduct compulsory
arbitration within thirty (30) days to pass upon the issue.
The BARC shall submit a report of its findings within five (5) days after
arbitration to the PARO who shall then evaluate and finally determine the qualifications
of the ARBs in the master list. The PAROs decision shall be final in so far as the master
list is concerned.
12.

Protests for inclusion/exclusion from the master list of qualified ARBs may be

filed in writing at the DARPO by an interested party not later than fifteen (15) days from
the last day of posting of the master list, for resolution within thirty (30) days from
receipt of the same.
13.

The master list of qualified ARBs becomes final after the lapse of fifteen (15)

days from issuance of the PAROs decision on the protest and receipt of the same by the
parties.
14.

The authority of the PARO to determine ARBs qualifications is specifically limited

in the context of partial attestation or full non-attestation by the LO and to resolve

protests and petitions on the ARBs qualifications to be included in the master list. After
this phase, the other processes and the authority to decide on the determination of
ARBs qualifications under specific issuances (e.g., inclusion/exclusion of ARBs issued
with CLOA from the master list of ARBs under agrarian law implementation cases) shall
remain.
15.

In case an appeal/motion for reconsideration is filed on the PAROs decision/s or

order/s for inclusion/exclusion of potential ARBs in/from the master list, the rules and

procedures provided under the existing agrarian law implementation (ALI) rules shall be
followed.
16.

The ARBs who qualify under the screening process shall state under oath before

the judge of the city or municipal court that he/she is willing to work on the land to
make it productive and to assume the obligation of paying the amortization for the
compensation of the land and the land taxes thereon as stipulated in the Application to
Purchase and Farmers Undertaking (APFU).
ARBs in the master list who fail or refuse to execute and sign the APFU shall be
given thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the APFU to sign it. Failure to sign the
APFU within the reglementary period of thirty (30) days shall be considered as a waiver
of right to become an ARB. Due notice shall be given to the concerned parties stating
the consequence of such failure to sign and execute the APFU within the prescribed
period.
F.
1.

Land Distribution
Equitable distribution of the land shall be observed subject to the following

considerations:
1.1

Landholdings covered by CARP shall be distributed first to agricultural lessees

and share tenants and regular farmworkers of the same landholding up to a maximum
of three (3) hectares each. Only when the qualified agricultural lessees and tenants and
regular farmworkers by order of priority under Section 22 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended,
shall have received three (3) hectares each, shall the remaining portion of the subject
landholding, if any, be distributed to seasonal and other farmworkers, actual tillers or
occupants of public lands, collectives or cooperatives of the beneficiaries and others
directly working on the land, pursuant to R.A. No. 9700.
1.2

Excess areas subsequent to the three-hectare award to entitled beneficiaries

pursuant to R.A. No. 9700, shall be distributed to other qualified beneficiaries without
prejudice to the consideration of immediate family members of agricultural
lessees/tenants/farmworkers who are actually tilling/cultivating such lands as ARBs,
subject to the procedures on screening and selection of ARBs. However, the
tenants/lessees in such excess areas shall be given reasonable time to harvest the
produce of his/her crop, subject to the rules on standing crops.

In cases where the land area is not enough to meet the three-hectare award
ceiling for each agricultural lessee and tenant in a particular landholding, the area to be
distributed to them shall be based on the actual size of tillage by each tenant/lessee.
Other qualified beneficiaries under Section 22 of R.A. No. 6657, as amended,
who are displaced after the distribution of all available land to tenants/lessees, may still
qualify as ARBs in other lands covered under the CARP.
In cases where the three-hectare award limit is satisfied for tenants, lessees and
regular farmworkers, the remaining lands shall be distributed to agrarian reform
beneficiaries following the order of priority under Section 22, Items c to f of R.A. No.
6657, as amended, at an award limit of three (3) hectares each, using the following as
the criteria for prioritization in case the land is not economically feasible and sound to
distribute among all the remaining ARBs:
a.

ISTHED

willingness, aptitude and ability to cultivate and make the land as productive as

possible;
b.

physical capacity; and

c.

length of service.
If there are ARBs who equally meet the foregoing criteria, priority shall be given

to ARBs who have continuously worked on the subject landholding.

The other farmworkers on the land who cannot be accommodated shall be put in
a wait list of potential ARBs who will be awarded in other landholdings covered by the
CARP.
1.3

For untenanted land, all the farmers/tillers/farmworkers therein who qualify

under the existing guidelines on the identification, screening and selection of Agrarian
Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs), shall be considered as potential beneficiaries in the estate,
provided that the proportional share of each will not exceed three (3) hectares,
otherwise, additional farmworkers shall be considered.
1.4

For unoccupied lands, each qualified landless farmer shall be allowed the award

ceiling of three (3) hectares.

2.

In general, the land awarded to an ARB should be under an individual CLOA-title

covering one (1) contiguous tract or several parcels of land cumulated up to a maximum
of three (3) hectares.
3.

Qualified beneficiaries may opt for collective ownership, through a co-workers or

farmers cooperative/association or some other form of collective organization and for

the issuance of collective ownership titles: Provided, That the total area to be awarded
shall not exceed the total number of co-owners or members of the cooperative or
collective organization multiplied by the award limit of three (3) hectares, except in
meritorious cases as may be determined by the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council
(PARC) and that the conditions for the grant of collective CLOAs under Item IV (F) (4.1 to
4.4) of this Order are met.
Under collective ownership, a collective CLOA to the property shall be issued in
the name of the co-owners or the farmers cooperative/association or collective
organization, as the case may be. If the CLOAs are issued to co-owners or to a farmers
cooperatives/association, the names of the beneficiaries must be listed in the CLOA.
4.

Collective CLOAs may be issued to farmers cooperatives/associations under the

following instances:
4.1

The current farm management system of the land covered by CARP is not

appropriate for either individual farming or division of the landholding into farm parcels;
4.2

The farm labor system is specialized, where the farmworkers are organized by

functions such as spraying, weeding, packing and other similar activities and not by
specific parcels;
4.3

The potential beneficiaries are currently not farming individual parcels but

collectively working on large contiguous areas; and

4.4

The farm consists of multiple crops being farmed in an integrated manner or

includes non-crop production areas that are necessary for the viability of farm
operations, such as packing plants, storage areas, dikes, and other similar facilities that
cannot be subdivided or assigned to individual farmers.
5.

If the conditions for the issuance of collective CLOAs no longer exist, the

landholding shall be parcelized/subdivided and the ARBs subsequently issued individual

CLOA-titles.

6.

For idle and abandoned lands or undeveloped agricultural lands to be covered

by CARP, collective ownership shall be allowed only if the beneficiaries opt for it and
there is a clear development plan that would require collective farming or integrated
farm operations exhibiting the conditions described in Item IV (F) (4.1-4.4) of this Order.
Otherwise, such lands awarded to ARBs should be under individual CLOAs/titles,
covering one (1) contiguous tract or several parcels of land cumulated up to a maximum
of three (3) hectares.
7.

As a general rule, the DAR shall take immediate possession of a landholding

upon the issuance of Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) or Original Certificate of Title
(OCT) in the name of the Republic of the Philippines (RP) by the concerned Registry of
Deeds (ROD), and shall thereafter immediately proceed with the distribution process to
the qualified agrarian reform beneficiaries of the landholding pursuant to Section 16 of
R.A. No. 6657, as amended.
8.

The ARBs have the right of usufruct over the land from the time the DAR takes

constructive and actual possession of the same until the award of a CLOA.
Pending the award of the CLOA and for the purpose of establishing usufructuary
rights, the DAR, upon transfer of the title in the name of the Republic of the Philippines
and it takes actual possession of the land, shall immediately inform the ARBs that they
have been identified and qualified to receive the land.
9.

The existence of labor-related problems between the landowner and the

farmworkers, including questions on ownership of the subject landholding and payment

of just compensation shall in no case deter or delay the process of land acquisition and
distribution.
10.

The rights and responsibilities of the ARB shall commence from their receipt of a

duly registered Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) and their actual physical
possession of the awarded land.
10.1

All ARBs shall exercise diligence in the use, cultivation and maintenance of the

land including the improvements thereon. Negligence, misuse, or unauthorized sale of

the land or misuse of any support extended to an ARB shall be a ground for the
forfeiture of ones right as an ARB.

10.2

Lands awarded to ARBs under this Act may not be sold, transferred or conveyed

except through hereditary succession or to the Government, or to the LBP, or to other

qualified beneficiaries within a period of ten (10) years; Provided, however, that the
children or the spouse of the transferor shall have a right to repurchase the land from
the government or the LBP within a period of two (2) years from the date of transfer.
10.3

ARBs have the obligation to pay the LBP in thirty (30) annual amortizations with

interest at six percent (6%) per annum unless the ARB opts to accelerate payment.
10.4

Amortization payments shall commence one (1) year from the date of the CLOA

registration. However, if the actual occupancy of the ARB takes place after the CLOA
registration, the amortization shall start one (1) year after the constructive and physical
occupation of the land by the ARB.
11.

The ARB Cooperative/Association shall assume the responsibility of paying the

local government unit (LGU) the real property tax (RPT) of collectively awarded land
subject to the provisions of the Cooperative Code of the Philippines.
12.

Land improvements and facilities such as roads, bridges, warehouses, irrigation

systems and the like, for common use and benefit as may be defined by DAR, may be
transferred through a Farmers Association or Cooperative, or in the absence thereof,
through co-ownership, and equally shared payments covered under either individual or
collective land amortizations, as the case may be.
13.

Agricultural lessees and tenants, regular farmworkers and other qualified

beneficiaries such as seasonal farmworkers, other farmworkers, actual tillers/occupants

of public lands, members of collectives or cooperatives of the above beneficiaries, and
others directly working on the land who are husband and wife may be entitled to three
(3) hectares each provided that they qualify as ARBs in their own individual rights and
that their respective vested rights to the land have been duly established. A separate
CLOA shall be issued to each spouse in such cases.
14.

ATCaDE

For legally married spouses, the names of both husband and wife shall appear in

the CLOA and shall be preceded by the word spouses. Should the couple qualify as
individual ARBs, their names shall be registered in the title, to wit: Juan married to Maria
or Maria married to Juan to indicate that the first name is the awardee. In the case of
common-law relationship, the names of both parties shall likewise appear in the CLOA
with the conjunctive word and between their names. Should they likewise qualify as

individual ARBs, their names shall be registered without the other. The same provisions
shall apply in cases where the married ARBs or ARBs in a common-law relationship are
covered by a collective/co-ownership CLOA and their names annotated at the back of
the said CLOA.
For purposes of ARB inventory and reporting, spouses or parties whose names
appear in a single CLOA shall be counted as one ARB.
15.
15.1

It is the ministerial duty of the ROD to:

Issue the title of the land in the name of the Republic of the Philippines, after the

LBP has certified that the claim proceeds have been deposited in the name of the
landowner constituting full payment in cash and bonds, with due notice to the
landowner;
15.2

Register the CLOA generated by DAR;

15.3

Cancel previous titles pertaining thereto; and

15.4

Issue title to the LOs retained area.

16.

encumbered CLOAs until the time of their release to the concerned ARBs upon full
payment of the land amortization, and the cancellation of the encumbrance.
G.
1.

Installation of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries on Awarded Lands

As owners of awarded lands under CARP, the ARB/s shall take possession of the

land covered by his/her/their titles from the time the same is awarded to them through
a registered CLOA.
In case taking possession of the awarded land by the ARBs would imperil or
endanger their lives, the DAR shall assume responsibility for the installation of the ARB/s
on the subject land with the assistance of the police or military until they are settled
and in constructive and physical control of the property.

2.

As a general rule, there shall only be a one time installation of ARBs on their

specific area of tillage as indicated in their CLOAs, rendering them in constructive and
physical possession of the same.
The DAR shall assist the ARBs in reporting cases of threat/harassment or
ejection attempts by the former landowner or other parties to the police or military, and
the filing of appropriate legal action against those responsible, if warranted.
3.

In case the installation activities would necessitate the provision of police and/or

military forces to assist the DARMO personnel, the Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer
(PARO) shall coordinate the said activities with the Department of National DefenseArmed Forces of the Philippines (DND-AFP) and the Department of Interior and Local
Government-Philippine National Police (DILG-PNP), pursuant to the existing guidelines
per Memorandum of Agreement executed by the DAR, Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG), and Department of National Defense (DND).
4.

In the event that the former landowner harasses or threatens the ARB/s installed

by the DAR, the affected ARB/s shall immediately report the matter to the concerned
PNP and the DAR. The ARBs should be assisted by the DAR Regional/Provincial Legal
Division, Public Attorneys Office (PAO) and the Office of the City/Provincial Prosecutors.
5.

If upon the effectivity of this Order, the former landowner deliberately acts to

delay, stall or obstruct the installation of the ARBs, a criminal case shall be filed against
him/her for violation of Sec. 73 (d) of R.A. No. 6657, as amended. Moreover, the DAR
shall ask that the landowner be held liable by the Court for actual, compensatory and
moral damages suffered by the ARB/s.

If the land is found to be

adjacent to forest or timber
land, determine the date of
issuance of the title. In case
the title was issued prior to
1921 based on Act No. 2874,
the subject land is definitively
considered as alienable and
disposable, and the procedure
in Item V(A)(2) of this Order
shall be undertaken.

If the title was issued on or

after 1921 based on Act No.
2874, determine whether
these were issued
administratively or judicially.

For landholdings covered by

judicial titles and the
survey was based on the
Land Registration Authority
(LRA)-Private Survey (PSu)
Plan, the procedure outlined
in Item V(A)(3.1) of this
Order shall be followed.

DARPO

In the case of untitled properties,

a certification from the LRA
and DENR regarding the status
of the landholding shall be
obtained observing the
following procedures: cTaDHS

Submit the list of untitled

properties to the DENRCENRO/PENRO for
validation on whether
or not the said landholdings
are alienable and disposable,
and for subsequent issuance
of a certification on the matter.
Likewise, submit the same
list to the Bureau of Land
Development (BLD) for it
to obtain the same certification
from the LRA informing
whether these landholdings
are within or outside a
decreed property.

Upon receipt of both

certifications, undertake
the following:
1. If the untitled land totally
overlaps with a decreed

property, continue with

the acquisition and
distribution of the decreed
property regardless in
whose name the decree is.
2. If the untitled property is
totally not alienable and
disposable, discontinue
with the coverage of the
subject land.
3. If the untitled land partially
overlaps with a decreed
property, or it is partially
alienable and disposable,
ensure that the portions
of the said lands that are
within the decreed property
and those that are not
alienable and disposable
are segregated during the
conduct of survey.
Likewise, continue with
the acquisition and
distribution of both the
landholding that partially
overlaps with a decreed
property as well as the
latter regardless in
whose name the
landholdings are.

CARP-LAD ANNEX A
Specific Guidelines Governing the Valuation of Lands Voluntarily Offered or Compulsory
Acquired Pursuant to Republic Act No. 6657, as Amended by R.A. No. 9700
Pursuant to Section 7 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9700, the following are the guidelines
governing the valuation of lands subject of acquisition under the Comprehensive
Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).
A.

The basic formula for the valuation of lands covered by VOS or CA shall be:

LV = (CNI x 0.60) + (CS x 0.30) + (MV x 0.10)

Where:
LV =

Land Value

CNI = Capitalized Net Income (based on land use and productivity)

CS =

Comparable Sales (based on fair market value equivalent to 70% of BIR Zonal

Value)
MV = Market Value per Tax Declaration (based on Government assessment)
A.1 Three Factors are Present
When the CNI, CS and MV are present, the formula shall be:
LV = (CNI x 0.60) + (CS x 0.30) + (MV x 0.10)
A.2 Two Factors are Present

A.2.1 When the CS factor is not present and CNI and MV are applicable, the formula
shall be:
LV = (CNI x 0.90) + (MV x 0.10)
A.2.2 When the CNI factor is not present, and CS and MV are applicable, the formula
shall be:
LV = (CS x 0.90) + (MV x 0.10)
A.3 Only One Factor is Present
When both the CS and CNI are not present and only MV is applicable, the formula shall
be:
LV = MV x 2
In no case shall the value of idle land using the formula (MV x 2) exceed the lowest
value of land within the same estate under consideration or within the same barangay,
municipality or province (in that order) approved by LBP within one (1) year from receipt
of Claim Folder (CF.)
A.4 Permanent Crops Not Yet Productive or Not Yet Fruit Bearing
When the land planted to permanent crops is not yet productive or not yet fruit-bearing
at the time of Field Investigation (FI), the land value shall be equivalent to the value of
the land plus the Cumulative Development Cost (CDC) of the crop from land preparation
up to the time of FI. In equation form:
LV = (MV x 2) + CDC
Where:
1.

MV to be used shall be the applicable UMV classification of idle land.

2.

CDC shall be grossed-up from the date of FI up to the date of LBP CF receipt for

processing but in no case shall the grossed-up CDC exceed the current CDC industry
based data.

In case the CDC data provided by the landowner could not be verified, DAR and LBP
shall secure the said data from concerned agency/ies or, in the absence thereof, shall
establish the same through industry studies.
In no case, however, shall the resulting land value exceed the value of productive land
similar in terms of crop and plant density within the estate under consideration or within
the same barangay, municipality or province (in that order) approved by LBP within one
(1) year from receipt of CF.
In case where CS is relevant or applicable, the land value shall be computed in
accordance with Item A.2.2 where MV shall be based on the lowest productivity
classification of the particular land use.
A.5 Permanent Crops Not Yet Productive or Not Yet Fruit Bearing Introduced by FBs
Under Tenancy Arrangement
When the land is planted to permanent crops introduced by the farmer-beneficiaries
(FBs) under tenancy arrangement, as determined by DAR, which are not yet productive
or not yet fruit-bearing, the land value shall be computed by using the applicable UMV
classification of idle land. In equation form:
LV = (MV x 2)
In no case, however, shall the resulting land value exceed the value of productive land
similar in terms of crop and plant density within the estate under consideration or within
the same barangay, municipality or province (in that order) approved by LBP within one
(1) year from receipt of CF.
A.6 Permanent Crops No Longer Productive or Ready for Cutting
The value of lands planted to permanent crops which are no longer productive or ready
for cutting shall be determined by using the applicable UMV classification of idle land
plus the salvage value of the standing trees at the time of the FI. In equation form:
LV = (MV x 2) + Salvage Value
In no case, however, shall the resulting land value exceed the value of productive land
similar in terms of crop and plant density within the estate under consideration or within
the same barangay, municipality or province (in that order) approved by LBP within one
(1) year from receipt of CF.

In case where CS is relevant or applicable, the land value shall be computed in

accordance with Item A.2.2 where MV shall be based on the lowest productivity
classification of the particular land use.
A.7 Lands Planted to Seasonal Crops Without Record of Production
A.7.1 For lands with no historical record of production but planted to seasonal crops at
the time of FI or whose annual production cannot be established since the land has not
completed at least one normal crop cycle for crops whose cycle is more than one year,
and at least two normal crop cycles for crops whose cycle is less than one year
immediately preceding the date of FI, the land shall be valued based on the lowest
productivity classification of the particular land use per FI. In equation form:
LV = MV x 2
In no case, however, shall the resulting land value exceed the value of
productive land planted to the same crop with history of production within the estate
under consideration or within the same barangay, municipality or province (in that
order) approved by LBP within one (1) year from receipt of CF.
In case where the CS is relevant or applicable, the land value shall be computed
in accordance with Item A.2.2 where MV shall be based on the applicable classification
of idle land.

HESCcA

A.7.2 For lands planted to seasonal crops which are not yet productive at the time of FI
but were previously planted to another seasonal crop for at least two (2) years
immediately preceding the date of FI, the land value shall be determined as follows:
LV = (CNI x 0.90) + (MV x 0.10)
Where:
1.

The CNI of the property shall be based on the annual gross production of the

previous crop.
2.

The MV of the land shall be based on the applicable UMV classification of the

previous crop.

In cases where CS is relevant or applicable, the land value shall be computed in

accordance with Item A.2.2 where MV shall be based on the lowest productivity
classification of the previous land use.
If the previous crop failed to satisfy the two (2) year minimum period of planting,
the land shall be valued in accordance with Item A.7.1.
In cases where CS is relevant or applicable, the land value shall be computed in
accordance with Item A.2.2 where MV shall be based on the lowest productivity
classification of the present land use.
A.7.3 For lands planted to seasonal crops intercropped with other seasonal crop/s,
none of which have record of production, the land shall be valued in accordance with
Item A.7.1 where the MV of the land shall be based on the lowest productivity
classification of the crop with the higher or highest UMV.
A.8 The valuation of lands utilized as homelot/s which is/are situated in an idle land or
productive land, shall be the same as said idle or productive land.
If the homelot/s is/are situated in or adjacent to lands with different land uses, the value
of the homelot shall follow the lowest land value of the land where it is situated in or
adjacent to.
A.9 In all of the above, the computed value using the applicable formula shall in no
case exceed the landowners (LO) offer in case of VOS. The LOs offer shall be grossed
up from the date of the offer up to the date of receipt of CF by LBP from DAR for
processing.
A.10 The date of receipt of CF by LBP from DAR shall mean the date when the CF is
determined by the LBP-Agrarian Operations Centers Claims Valuation, Processing and
Payment Division to be complete with all the required documents and valuation inputs
duly verified and validated, and ready for final computation/processing.
A.11 The basic formula in the grossing up of valuation inputs such as LOs Offer, BIR
Zonal Value and Market Value per Tax Declaration (MV) shall be:

Grossed-Up Valuation

= Valuation

Input

x Regional Consumer

Input

Price Index (RCPI)

Adjustment Factor

The RCPI Adjustment Factor shall refer to the ratio of the most recent available RCPI for
the month issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) as of the date when the CF was
received by LBP from DAR for processing and the RCPI for the month as of the
date/effectivity/registration of the valuation input. Expressed in equation form:
Most Recent RCPI for the Month as of
the Date of Receipt of CF by LBP from
DAR
RCPI Adjustment

Factor

RCPI for the Month Issued as of

Date/Effectivity/Registration of the
Valuation Input

B.

Capitalized Net Income (CNI) This shall refer to the difference between the

gross sales (AGP x SP) and total cost of operations (CO) capitalized at 12%.
Expressed in equation form:
(AGP x SP) CO
CNI =
0.12
Where:
CNI = Capitalized Net Income
AGP = Annual Gross Production corresponding to the latest available 12-months gross
production immediately preceding the date of FI.
SP =

The average of the latest available 12-months selling prices prior to the date of

receipt of the CF by LBP for processing.

CO = Cost of Operations corresponding to the latest available 12-months immediately
preceding the date of FI.

The CO shall include the direct and indirect cost related to production.
0.12 = Capitalization Rate
Whenever the cost of operations could not be obtained or verified, the CNI shall be
computed based on the Net Income Rate (NIR). Expressed in equation form:
(AGP x SP x NIR)
CNI =
0.12
Where:
a.

For productive coconut lands, the applicable NIR is 70%;

b.

For sugar lands and rubber, refer to pertinent existing guidelines;

c.

For other crops, the assumed NIR is 20%.

DAR and LBP shall continue to conduct joint industry studies to establish the applicable
NIR for each crop covered under CARP.
B.1

The landowner shall be required to submit BIR-filed audited financial statement

of the land subject of acquisition for the purpose of determining the annual gross
production, selling price (farm gate) and cost of operation and such other data as may
be required. These data shall be validated/verified by the DAR and LBP field personnel
against LOs accounting records, industry data and field interview.
In case of failure by the landowner to submit the statement fifteen (15) days
prior to the date of field investigation of the landholding per request of the Municipal
Agrarian Reform Officer (MARO) or the data stated therein cannot be verified/validated,
DAR and LBP may adopt any applicable industry data or, in the absence thereof,
conduct an industry study on the specific crop which will be used in determining the
production, cost and net income of the subject landholding.
B.2

Industry data on production, cost of operations and selling price shall be

obtained from government/private entities. Such entities shall include, but not be
limited to, the LGU-Municipal/Provincial Agriculturist Office, the Sugar Regulatory

Authority (SRA), the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), BAS-Provincial Agricultural

Statistics Office and other private persons/entities knowledgeable in the concerned
industry.
If possible, AGP and SP data shall be gathered from the barangay or municipality
where the property is located. In the absence thereof, AGP and SP may be secured
within the province or region.
B.3

For landholdings planted to permanent crops which are productive and

introduced by the farmer-beneficiaries under tenancy arrangement, as determined by

DAR, CNI shall be equal to 25% of the annual net income capitalized at 12%.
B.4

For landholdings devoted to intercropping, the total income contribution of each

crop, whether seasonal or permanent, shall be considered in the determination of CNI.

Intercropping shall refer to the practice of planting seasonal or other permanent
crop/s between or under existing permanent or seasonal crop/s. Depending on the
intercropping practice, the CNI and the LV of the property shall be computed using the
following formula:
a.

Landholdings Planted to Permanent Crop/s Intercropped with Other Permanent

Crop/s
a.1

In case all the permanent crops are productive or fruit-bearing at the time of the

Lands under Crop Rotation

f.1

For lands devoted to crop rotation, the total net income contribution of each crop

shall be considered in the determination of CNI. The number and kind of seasonal crops
selected for crop rotation varies from farm to farm and may include at least one
leguminous crop. The AGP, as defined under item B may only be considered if said crop
rotation has been continuously practiced for at least two (2) years immediately
preceding the date of FI.
The Total Net Income (TNI) of the property shall be the sum of the net income of
each crop.
Expressed in equation form:

crop.
Total area is the hectarage of the land where the crop rotation is practiced.
The MV of the land shall be based on the highest UMV classification of the crops
rotated.
f.2

If the crop rotation was not practiced continuously for at least two years

immediately preceding the date of FI, the land shall be valued based on the primary
crop.
B.5

Annualization of AGP
For seasonal crops, at least one normal crop cycle shall be used to get AGP for

crops whose cycles are more than one (1) year. For crops whose cycle is less than one
(1) year, two (2) normal crop cycles shall be required.
1.

In case the crop cycle is more than one (1) year, the formula shall be:
Total Production (TP)

AGP

12

No. of months in one complete cycle

2.

In case the crop cycle is less than one (1) year, the following rules shall apply:

a.

The TP of all completed crop cycles within the year shall be considered.

b.

In case there is more than one (1) crop cycle within the 12-month period, the

AGP, as defined under Item B shall be the sum of the actual production from all the crop
cycles completed within the said period divided by the total number of months needed
to complete the said crop cycles, and multiplied by 12 to annualize AGP. In equation
form:
TP1 + TP2 + . . . + TPn
AGP

No. of months in one complete cycle

12

Where:
TP1 = Total actual production for the 1st crop cycle

SAEHaC

TP2 = Total actual production for the 2nd crop cycle

TPn = Total actual production for the nth crop cycle
B.6

For landholdings registered under the name of one landowner: (a) involving

different lots or titles; (b) properties are adjacent and contiguous; (c) same land use,
slope/topography and level of productivity; (d) with different or same dates of FI; and (e)
with different or same dates of CF receipt, the AGP and SP shall be reckoned as follows:
A.

If the FI is conducted within the 12-months period interval; the date of FI to be

used in the determination of AGP shall be the date of the latest FI.
B.

If the various CF receipts are within the 12-months period interval, the date of

CF receipt to be used in the determination of SP shall be the date of the earliest CF

receipt by LBP from DAR.
C.

CS shall refer to 70% of BIR Zonal Value. Zonal Value is an approved zonal

schedule of fair market values on real property issued by the BIR as basis for the
computation of internal revenue taxes.
C.1 The most recent schedule of Zonal Values (SZV) issued prior to receipt of CF by
LBP shall be considered.
C.2 The Zonal Value to be used must be the zonal value upon the effectivity of R.A. No.
9700 but must be grossed up from the date of the effectivity of the SZV up to the date
of receipt of CF by LBP from DAR for processing, in accordance with Item A.11.
C.3 The Zonal Value of the land shall be based on the actual land use per FI.
D.

In the computation of Market Value per Tax Declaration (MV), the most recent Tax

Declaration (TD) and Schedule of Unit Market Value (SUMV) issued prior to receipt of CF
by LBP shall be considered. The Unit Market Value (UMV) shall be grossed up from the
date of its effectivity up to date of receipt of CF by LBP from DAR for processing, in
accordance with Item A.11.

D.1 In case the area as appearing in the TD differs from the area per approved survey
plan, the latter shall prevail.
D.2 In case the land classification/land use per FI differs from that reflected in the TD,
the former shall prevail and the UMV of the land classification per FI shall be obtained
from the provincial assessors office concerned.
D.3 In case the UMV for a certain land classification in the municipality where the
property is located is not available, the UMV of the same land classification in an
adjacent municipality may be used.
D.4 In cases where the trees are not yet productive/fruit-bearing or not longer
productive/ready for cutting, MV shall only include the value of the land.
D.5 In cases where the trees are already productive or fruit-bearing, the land
productivity classification of the property whenever possible shall be established in
accordance with the assessment regulations issued by the appropriate agency.
D.6 The value of the trees introduced by the farmer-beneficiaries under tenancy
arrangement, as determined by DAR, lessees or third parties shall not be considered in
the MVTD computation.
