DAR and DENR shall effectively synchronize the targets of the land acquisition and distribution component of the CARP. It shall distribute an estimated 1.5 million hectares to about 1.1 million beneficiaries from 2011 to 2014.
CARP's target has been revised based on the updated database as of December 2010. It shall be noted that the remaining balance of 1,102,095 hectares represent the gross landholdings that shall be covered by DAR. The gross area includes the retention areas of the landowners, since it is impossible to identify specific landholdings for retention, unless petitioned for retention while landholding is in the process of coverage. Targets for 2013 and 2014 are still very high, since RA 9700 mandates that Phase 3A lands (above 10 hectares) can only be covered starting July 2012 and Phase 3B lands (above 5 hectares) starting July 2013.
DAR's commitment to provide legal assistance to agrarian reform beneficiaries shall continue to be prioritized. The aim is to resolve 70,941 cases under adjudication of agrarian cases, provide legal assistance services in 45,487 cases filed at the judicial and quasi-judicial courts, and mediate and conciliate 131,099 agrarian-related conflicts.
From 2011 to 2016, DAR shall provide legal assistance to agrarian reform beneficiaries, with 780,000 targeted cases to be resolved, disposed or submitted for resolution. These cases include those for adjudication, on agrarian law implementation, filed at the judicial and quasi-judicial courts, and for mediation and conciliation.
Meanwhile, the NCIP shall issue 48 CADTs and 48 CALTs until 2014 covering one million hectares. It will also formulate one ADSDPP each year until 2016.
The housing sector, led by the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and key shelter agencies, targets the provision of security of tenure to informal settlers as listed in Table 8.14.
