Farmers to Receive 1,322.23 Hectares of Land After Resolution of Batangas Land Dispute
Contrary to initial reports that farmers in Hacienda Palico, Banilad and Caylaway, all located in Nasugbu, Batangas have been dispossessed of lands awarded to them by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), each of the farmer-beneficiaries will be given individual parcels of land under the compromise agreement between the farmers and Roxas and Co. Inc. This is the result of the Consolidated Order issued by the DAR last December 29, 2023, having become final and executory as of January 30, 2024, after no party filed any motion for reconsideration or appeal, within the fifteen (15) day mandatory period, contesting the consolidated order.
