President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday reaffirmed his administration's commitment to completing key agrarian reforms by 2028, describing the effort as a 'labor of love.”
AGRARIAN REFORM DAY. A day before his 67th birthday, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. leads the distribution of 1,119 Certificates of Condonation and Release of Mortgage to 1,000 agrarian reform beneficiaries in ceremonies held at the main office of the Depatment of Agrarian Reform in Quezon City. The President joined beneficiaries in a photo after the awarding of certificates. With him are Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado Estrella, Jr.
“Agrarian reform is truly a labor of love for both me and Secretary Conrad , as this started during my father’s administration when his grandfather led the DAR,” Mr. Marcos said. The distribution is part of the New Agrarian Emancipation Act, which aims to ease the financial burden on farmers by canceling debts tied to land amortization, interest, and surcharges.
Since July 2022, the DAR has distributed 136,116 land titles to 138,718 ARBs, covering over 164,000 hectares nationwide.
