DAR distributes e-titles to ARBs in Bulacan

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) has handed over electronic land titles (e-titles) to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in Bulacan province.
Under the agency’s Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project, officials hope to speed up land subdivision or parcelization of the Collective Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CCLOAs) of about 1.368 million hectares of land nationwide.
According to a Philippine News Agency report, Project SPLIT team leader Sylvia Sangbaan said on Thursday that a total of 17 hectares of land were distributed in Bulacan to 13 ARBs.
Sangbaan said 34 e-titles of certificates of land ownership award (CLOAs) involved farm lots covered in Cluster 2 comprising the municipalities of San Rafael and San Ildefonso.
Under the SPLIT project, she said the DAR would parcelize the awarded lands covered by a CCLOA.
“This means that each farmer-beneficiary would be given an individual land title based on the actual area or a particular portion of the land he or she is tilling,” the report said.
