Subject of the Disclosure

Update on Land Cases.

Background/Description of the Disclosure

On January 30, 2024, after the lapse of the fifteen (15) day mandatory period, without any party filing any Motion for Reconsideration, the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) issued the Certificate of Finality of even date. In the said Certification, the DAR attested that the Consolidated Order it issued on December 29, 2023 (hereafter, the “Consolidated Order”), by operation of law, had become final and executory on January 27, 2024. Accordingly, the DAR-Bureau of Agrarian Legal Assistance (DAR-BALA) was directed to immediately transmit the entire case folder to the DAR Regional Office for execution avoiding any unnecessary delay, citing DAR Administrative Order No. 5, Series of 2017 in relation to Section 16 of Republic Act No. 6657, there being no legal impediment for its execution.

The final and executory nature of the Consolidated Order, as thoroughly explained by the DAR Secretary, ended the almost four (4) decades of judicial hostilities that have been alternatively instigated and endured by Roxas & Company, Inc. (RCI), on one hand, and the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs), on the other. More importantly, the elusive justice, despite the Supreme Court’s final disposition in G.R. No. 127876 issued on December 17, 1999 and in the consolidated Decision on December 4, 2009 in G.R. Nos. 149548, 167505, 167540, 167543, 167845 and 179650 nullifying the DAR proceedings that led to the issuance of the Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA), have now been achieved and secured.

Verily, RCI can now fully enjoy its ownership rights over its 1,619.22855-HA (297HA with finality + 1,322.22855HA) property it will retain and receive the equitable just compensation over the properties to be awarded by DAR to the ARBs. The ARBs, on the other hand, can now fully enjoy the benefits of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law, as enunciated in the Consolidated Order.
