“President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will sign a law condoning the unpaid debt of the ARBs who were awarded lands under the government’s Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program,” he said.
According to Estrella, the chief executive seeks to provide farmer “true freedom from poverty and loans” by signing into law the said act. “The loans to be condoned are unpaid amortizations, interest payments, surcharges, and penalties of existing loans of ARBs secured under CARP or other agrarian reform programs or laws,” he noted.
The President emphasized that the New Agrarian Emancipation Program will only be complete until the ARBs are empowered through support services and credit facilities, prompt and efficient delivery of agrarian justice, and the stabilization of their agrarian rights, the DAR chief said.
Estrella said the distribution of the 240 e-titles and 287 CLOAs to the 772 ARBs held in Tabuk City People’s Gymnasium, Tabuk City, Kalinga over the weekend.
