satisfy needs and wants
• Real Property: Rights, interests and benefits related to
the ownership of real estate.
– Real Estate: Land and all
other natural components
of the land (trees, rocks, etc.).
• Market Value of land
determined by certain
standards

 Highest and Best Use (HABU)
Is the use:
• reasonable and likely one?
• legal?
• physically suited for use?
• financially feasible?
• most productive?
Applicable Valuation Approach(es)
• Sales Comparison Approach
– Comparison of prices between properties
competing with one another for market share
• Income Capitalization Approach
– Value defined by the expectation of future
benefits (income streams)
• Cost Approach
– Cost of acquiring land and building a new property
with equal utility

Just Compensation
The compensation given to the land
owner, it is just compensation if he
receives for his property a sum
equivalent to its market value.

Reason for Just Compensation

Constitution and by the democratic
set up under which agrarian reform
is being carried out. (RA 6657 Sec.
16)
Section 17:Determination of Just
Compensation
• Cost of acquisition of the
land
• Current value of the like
properties, its nature,
actual use and income
• Sworn valuation by the
owner
• Tax declarations
• Assessment made by
government assessors
