IN REGION 7
DAR conducts inventory
of CARP
land distribution
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Department of Agrarian Reform in Central Visayas is validating reports that some properties covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program have been abandoned by farmer beneficiaries, due to lack of government support.
DAR Region 7 director Yusoph Mama yesterday said he has ordered field personnel to determine if the farmers are still occupying and tilling the lands awarded to them. Mama said he has yet to receive reports from the municipal agrarian reform officers, to determine what happened to the lands covered by CARP.
He lamented that some municipal agrarian reform officers cannot even determine
the areas planted to certain crops in their jurisdiction.

Apprehended was Efren Tercio, 18, of Habitat I Dumaguete, from whose possession tanods confiscated several spiders and P198 in cash believed to be proceeds from the sale of the spiders to school children. School
officials expressed alarm over the safety of their students from big trucks and
passenger buses that ply the route in EJ Blanco Road, where spiders are sold.
