DAR ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 02-09
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. TCDcSE
III. Definition of Terms
1. 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 latter's 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 by R.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
latter's 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. IcAaSD
10. 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 underR.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
2

lines of farm management as an actual major activity being performed by the landowner's 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.

representative to the Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer (PARO) indicating the following:
Name of landowner;
Location of property and area;
OCT/TCT or Tax Declaration Number;
Actual land use; TIaCHA
Existence of agricultural activity;
Land Classification documents available; and
Other information vital to the determination of coverage of the land or portions
thereof under CARP.
9. Any act of the landowner to change or convert his/her agricultural land to non-agricultural
uses shall not affect the coverage of the landholding. Any diversification or change in the agricultural
use of the landholding, or shift from crop production to non-agricultural uses and purposes shall be
subject to the guidelines on land use conversion.
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. CcAITa
11. 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 LO's:
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;
4

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. The other modes of service/delivery/receipt of the NOC shall be as follows:
12.1 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 co-owners.
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;
5

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 LO's 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. IcESDA
13. In all cases, the security of tenure of the farmers or farmworkers on the LO's 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 transferor's 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
6

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. Land Acquisition
1. 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 LO's 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 one's 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 DENR-Community
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 LBP's 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.
7

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 DENR-Community 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. TCaEIc
14. 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 DAR's
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. Land Valuation and Landowner Compensation
1. 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 = 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)
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.
8

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. Farmer Beneficiary Identification, Screening and Selection
1. Farmers/Tillers and farmworkers who meet the following qualifications shall be eligible as
beneficiaries under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program:

they were identified, screened and selected shall remain as qualified ARBs. TIcEDC
2. Qualified beneficiaries shall be prioritized as follows:
2.1 agricultural lessees, share tenants and regular farmworkers;
2.2 seasonal farmworkers;
2.3 other farmworkers;
2.4 actual tillers or occupants of public lands;
2.5 collectives or cooperatives of the above beneficiaries; and
2.6 others directly working on the land.

agency.
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 parent's 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 Actual tiller or directly managing the farm as of the time of the conduct of field
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 LO's 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 ARB's 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. TacADE
10

10. 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 landowner's 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 DARMO's 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 LO's partial or full non-
attestation 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 PARO's 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 PARO's 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 PARO's 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 Farmer's 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. Land Distribution
1. 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
11

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: ISTHED
a. 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 one's right as
an ARB.
12

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. ATCaDE
14. 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. It is the ministerial duty of the ROD to:
15.1 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 LO's retained area.
16. All registered CLOAs shall be released by the Registry of Deeds (ROD) to LBP as the
mortgagee financing institution. The LBP shall be the responsible repository of the 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. Installation of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries on Awarded Lands
1. 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 Defense-Armed 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 Attorney's 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.

Classification Maps to determine
whether or not the areas are
alienable and disposable, and do
not overlap with any decreed
property. CSaIAc
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.

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
14

property, continue with
the acquisition and
distribution of the decreed
property regardless in

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

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.
56

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
landowner's (LO) offer in case of VOS. The LO's 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 LO's Offer, BIR Zonal Value
and Market Value per Tax Declaration (MV) shall be:
57

Grossed-Up Valuation = Valuation x Regional Consumer
Input 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.

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 LO's 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.

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 FI, the CNI per hectare of the property is derived by dividing the
Total Net Income (TNI) per hectare by the capitalization rate.

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 assessor's 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.
D.7 For purposes of establishing the land use per MV, at least fifty percent (50%)
of the standard density per hectare based on industry, shall be required. If no permanent
crop meets the minimum fifty percent (50%) standard density requirement, the UMV for
the land shall be based on the applicable classification of idle land.
E. Valuation of infrastructure, to be undertaken by LBP, shall be governed by the following:
E.1 As used in this Section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
1. Permanent shall refer to additions, changes or improvement which substantially enhance the
