SUBJECT GUIDELINES GOVERNING LANDHOLDINGS THAT ARE FOR

INCLUSION IN OR DEDUCTION FROM THE CARPER LAND
ACQUISITION AND DISTRIBUTION DATABASE

PREFATORY STATEMENT

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is mandated to complete the

acquisition and distribution of the remaining CARP-covered landholdings (LHs) in
2016. The CARPER LAD Database, however, shows that there is a significant
proportion of LHs that are tagged as low priority. The documentation and
processing of these LHs have been temporarily stalled due to legal, technical,
operational and administrative issues. In many instances, these LHs are not
targeted for distribution; hence, these are just set aside. However, those
landholdings which are subject of requests for coverage shall be given priority in
the documentation and processing.

There are also instances when certain LHs not previously included in the
CARPER LAD Database are identified by either the DAR field personnel or other
stakeholders and are validated to be coverable. In such cases, these LHs are
added to the CARPER LAD Database.

In view of the foregoing, there is an urgent need to conduct the review and
evaluation of the LHs tagged in CARPER LAD Database as low priority to
determine which among them will remain classified as low priority, be
transformed into workable, or for deduction so that the remaining balance could
be firmed"up immediately for the purpose of planning and programming of the
LAD targets. Likewise, a review and validation of newly (dentified LHs has to be
undertaken to identify which LHs are for inclusion to the CARPER LAD Database.

In all levels of the documentation, processing and evaluation of subject LHs,

transparency shall be observed to provide all stakeholders the opportunity to
participate in the process. Thus, the necessary support of all concerned
agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), landowners, and agrarian reforrn
beneficiaries (ARBs) is of utrnost irnportance.

 This Memorandum Circular (MC) is issued to provide guidelines for the

processing and evaluation of LHs for inclusion in and deduction from the
CARPER LAD Database after compliance of certain requirements.

SECTION 1. Coverage

This MC shall cover all landholdings that are tagged as low priority or which are for
deduction from the CARPER LAD Database as well as newly identified LHs found to
be coverable under CARP which are for inclusion in the CARPER LAD Database.

SECTION 2. Definition of Terms

1. CARPER LAD Database - refers to DAR's inventory of all agricultural LHs

officially adopted by the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council Executive
Committee (PARC ExCom) as the CARPER LAD Balance of the DAR as of july
1, 2009, and all LHs not initially included but subsequently identified, validated
and added to it. These LHs in the database have either been distributed to
agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs), retained by landowners, found to be not
coverable under CARP or are still part of the balance as of January 1, 2014 for
DAR's acquisition and distribution to ARBs.

2. Low Priority Landholdings - refer to agricultural landholdings in the CARPER

LAD Database which exhibit characteristics that may render them not coverable
under CARP during the LAD process. As such, these LHs shall be tagged as low
priority LHs upon submission of supporting documents stipulated under Annex A
(Matrix of Supporting Documents for LHs to be Declared as Low Priority and for
Deduction from the CARPER LAD Database) of this MC. They shall remain in
the LAD CARPER Database until declared as deducted by a final and executory
order of the Regional Director or the Secretary.

3. Deducted Landholdings - refer to LHs listed in the CARPER LAD Database but
have been found to be not coverable under CARP as evidenced by final and
executory decisions/orders from the appropriate government entity and have
been previously approved for deduction by the then LAD Technical Review
Committee (LAD-TRC) pursuant to MC No.8, Series of 2010, and those to be
approved by the Regional Director or the Secretary pursuant to this MC. Those
found to be either distributed before July 1, 2009 or with duplicate record in the
LAD CARPER Balance as reflected in the LTI OpTool can be deducted from the
database without the need for supporting documents.

4. Landholdings for Inclusion - refer to newly id.enlified agricultural LHs which

were not included in the PARC ExCom-approved CARPER LAD Balance but
have been validated to be coverable under CARP. These will be added to the
CARPER LAD Database pursuant to the procedures under this MC.

5. High LAD Provincial Agrarian Reform Offices - refer to DAR Provincial Offices
(DARPOs) with LAD balances of above 13,000 hectares. Twenty-two (22)
DARPOs fall under this category and comprise 77% of the areas in the overall
LAD balance. (See Annex B - List of High LAD and 'f!w LAD Provincial Offices)
, .

"

U
\
6. Low LAD Provincial Agrarian Reform Offices - refer to DAR Provincial Offices
with LAD balances of 13,000 hectares and below Fifty-three (53) DARPOs fall
under this category and comprise 23% of the areas in the overall LAD balance.
(See Annex B - List of High LAD and Low LAD Provincial Offices)

7. LTI Operational Tool (OpTool) - is a web-based custom application designed to

increase the efficiency and effectiveness in working with land tenure
improvement (LTI) data. It is a new consolidated repository of LTI data from all
sources. It makes data available to all authorized users through the internet.

SECTION 3. CARPER LAD Balance Updating

The CARPER LAD Balance represents the gross area that will be documented and
processed pursuant to eXisting gUidelines on LAD. However, some areas have to be
deducted when found to be non-CARPable during the preliminary ocular inspection
(pre-OCI) by the Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officers (MARPOs) or during
the conduct of DAR-Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) Joint Field Investigation
(JFI). In addition, portions of CARPable lands are projected to be retained by the
landowners who have not yet exercised their right of retention. Thus, there is a need
to update the CARPER LAD Balance on an annual basis, the process of which shall
be integrated with the Department's year-end assessment framework. The CARPER
LAD Balance Updating Report which would show the consolidated output will be
generated by the OpTool. This shall be presented to the PARC ExCom for approval.

The CARPER LAD Balance formula is:
