In the law, when it talks about agricultural land, it uses the word
classify, not reclassify. But the latter is used in decided cases.
GCC also observes that the Court uses the word redistribution without
referring to a previous distribution.
1. Right of preemption
2. Right of redemption
3. Transferee is subjugated to the obligations of the lessor
Ex: You have a real estate mortgage for a loan. The property is used as
collateral. Normally, there is a provision regarding the obligation and
how it is to be paid. Usually also, the remedy of foreclosure is provided.
Forms of foreclosure:
1. Extrajudicial
a. Notarial
b. Sheriff’s foreclosure

clerk of court to foreclose the property
ii. It will be docketed and you should pay the fees
iii. Application will be raffled among the sheriffs

foreclosure
v. This notice will be published in a newspaper of general
circulation (consecutively and at least 3 times)

2. Judicial
For Castro and Albor, the lesson is this. You don’t only concern yourself
about the compliance with the 180-day period. You should also concern
yourself with the redemption price.
Illegal act but practiced: There are different price declared for BIR (tax
purposes) and redemption price. The government can go after the buyer
here for defrauding the government.
Example:
There is no written contract, but there was a verbal one. The owner was
advised not to accept rentals anymore. If the farmer pays rentals in the
owner’s house, he will be accompanied by people who can be witnesses
to his payment.
The owner can then say that they did not have an agreement.
Remember that sharing of harvest is one of the elements in a tenurial
relationship. If you are the tenant-farmer, what should you do?
The lease rental shall not be equivalent to more than 25 percent of the
average normal harvest during the three agricultural years
immediately preceding the deed of leasehold after deducting the
expenses.
Agricultural year
Possible arguments:
If the agreed payment is 2/3, you can argue that only 25 percent is valid
and the rest is invalid.
Sta Ana v. Carpo
In relation to beneficiaries.
Cabral is the landowner. He owns agricultural land.
Adolfo was issued an emancipation patent.
Cabral filed a petition to cancel the emancipation patents.
Grounds:
o No evidence that the lands were primarily devoted to rice
and corn
o No compliance with requirements for issuance
No CLT was issued prior to issuance of the EPs
No evidence was presented (supporting documents before an EP
can be issued).
Cabral wants his title to be the only title to the land.
Ruling:
1. Application
2. Copy of CLT
3. Certification from the landowner and LBP as to payment of
amortization
4. Certification that the applicant is full-pledged member of farmer’s
coop
5. Technical description
6. ORs o RPTs
7. Certification whether applicant has acquired farm machineries
1. Ultimately, the ones who will be paying the government are the
tenant-farmers.
The government paid the landowners and the government will recover
this from the farmer-beneficiaries.
An EP, just like other titles, can be attacked. Even if there is a principle
of indefeasibility for title, it can still be attacked.
Yes.
Section 16 of CARL
A landowner may not know that his title has been cancelled. Then
the government can distribute these to beneficiaries.
The surrender of the owner’s duplicate copy of title is not a requirement
in agra. The only requirement by the ROD is certification from LBP
that there is money deposited in LBP in the name of the owner (just
compensation.
1. Compulsory
Related to the very case involved
Example: If Cabral wants to cancel EPs, can heirs of Adolfo
file action for damages on the grounds of malicious filing?
Yes.
2. Permissive
Not directly related to the case but which can also be
pleaded in the same case
Example:
If the title is ordinary title, the agra court has no jurisdiction. For
permissive counter-claim, they should be filed in the same court.
Due process concern: Before DAR will present cert to ROD, there is a
notice of coverage. The NOC will start the ball-rolling. There is also an
offer from DAR. If owner will not
The program expired in June 2014. DAR cannot issue notice of coverage
since the expiration.
DAR does not only send the notice. It also publishes the names and
locations. It invites owners to an inspection. The owners can choose not
to attend.

In CARL – there are many factors, e.g., market value, comparable sales
of adjacent properties, crops planted etc.
Reckoning point: Date of taking. But in other cases, actual payment (so
the court is not consistent on the matter)
