Happening Now | DAR-CAR, DENR-CAR join forces to resolve Buffer Zone issues under SPLIT

The Department of Agrarian Reform–Cordillera Administrative Region (DAR-CAR) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources–Cordillera Administrative Region (DENR-CAR) are joining forces to address technical and land classification concerns involving landholdings within buffer zones under the Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project.

The three-day technical verification and assessment is being conducted from August 25 to 27 at Le Monet Hotel, Camp John Hay, bringing together officials and personnel from the DAR Regional Office and its Provincial Offices, headed by their respective Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officers (PARPOs), as well as concerned DENR-CAR officials and personnel.

DAR-CAR Regional Director Atty. Sheila B. Enciso underscores the importance of the activity in supporting the national government’s land distribution target.

RD Enciso reiterates President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III during the State of the Nation Address to complete the government’s land distribution program. Secretary Estrella has set a target of 500,000 hectares for distribution, of which 12,000 hectares are allocated to the Cordillera Administrative Region.

She emphasizes the need for stronger coordination and collective action among concerned agencies and field offices to help the DAR Secretary achieve the target.

“Expected outputs of this workshop include field-level operational alignment and streamlined procedures, elimination of conflicting interpretations between DAR and DENR field teams, and clear protocols for timberland and forestland boundaries,” says Assistant Regional Director for Operations Atty. Nelson D.C. Palaris.

ARDO Palaris also highlights the need to eliminate backlogs and expedite survey approvals.

Further, Engr. Rowena Pulido, Chief of the Survey and Mapping Division, presents the mapping procedure for the technical verification and assessment of landholdings within buffer zones. “This aims to establish a systematic, map-based workflow for determining the land classification and actual land use and status of lots,” she added.

Data from the Collective CLOA Inventory System (CCIS) show that about 21,000 of the 41,000 landholdings recorded in the system fall within buffer zones.
The location of these landholdings presents a major challenge in the processing of survey plans, particularly in securing the Alienable and Disposable (A&D) land certification from DENR, which is required as an attachment to requests for approved survey plans.
