The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) on Sunday reported the distribution of land titles, debt condonation certificates, and farm support benefiting a total of 27,381 agrarian reform beneficiaries in the Calabarzon Region.
DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Atty. Kazel C. Celeste led the Calabarzon Regionwide Distribution of Split Electronic Titles (e-Titles), Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs), Certificates of Condonation with Release of Mortgage (COCROMs), and Farm Machinery and Equipment (FMEs) on July 21, 2026, at the Capitol Convention Center in Lucena City, Quezon.
A total of 27,381 Certificates of Condonation with Release of Mortgage (COCROMs) were distributed to 27,299 ARBs, covering 29,834.47 hectares of agrarian reform land, with a total condoned amount of P880,161,878.75.
Celeste emphasized that the certificates permanently free qualified ARBs from decades-old agrarian amortization debts, enabling them to reinvest their income in their farms, support their families, and improve their overall quality of life.
‘You no longer have to pay agrarian amortization for the next 30 years. Keep the income you earn from your land and use it to make your farms more productive, support your families, send your children to school, and secure their future,’ she said.
She added that along with the cancellation of farmers’ debts through the COCROMs, DAR continues to provide farm machinery, farm-to-market roads, and other support services. These programs demonstrate that DAR remains committed to bringing government services closer to ARBs
