President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday vowed to complete agrarian reform by 2028.

“Kaya naman po, sa ilalim din ng administrasyon na ito na si Sec. Conrad (Estrella III) ang puno ng DAR, ating sinisikap na makumpleto ang repormang pang-agraryo sa taong 2028 upang mapakinabangan na ng lahat ng mga benepisyaryo ang lupang sakahan,” the President said in his speech at the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) gymnasium in Quezon City.

During the event, the Chief Executive led the distribution of 343 Certificates of Land Ownership Awards (CLOAs) to 287 ARBs in Nasugbu, Batangas.

The awarding of CLOAs is part of the accelerated land title distribution program of the DAR to complete the agrarian land distribution program by 2028, pursuant to the directive of President Marcos.

From July 2022 to July 2024, the agrarian reform agency distributed 136,116 land titles to 138,718 ARBs nationwide, covering 164,088 hectares of land.

In the same event, the President declared that more than 100,000 land titles will be distributed before the end of the year. PND
