their CLOAs, but in return, the IPs allow the ARBs to continue tilling the land under usufruct rights, similar to a leasehold arrangement. n n n n DAR should seriously implement the leasehold program as an integral component of agrarian reform. To do this, DAR should: (1) Establish a credible database of all tenanted agricultural lands; (2) Allocate larger budgets to deliver leasehold targets; (3) Execute new leasehold agreements; (4) Open up support services facilities for leaseholders and tenants; (5) Form local monitoring teams; (6) Set up tenant/leasehold assistance desks in DAR municipal offices; (7) Develop IEC materials that the tenants can easily understand; (8) Work with local PO federations or NGOs in organizing the tenants; and, (9) Inform the tenants that they can seek DAR and LBP assistance to exercise their right of pre-emption and redemption. DAR should also review and consider amending the DAR-DoF Joint Memorandum Circular No.1, Series of 1995 that requires the registration of all leasehold contracts with the municipal/city treasurer and the collection of real property taxes. Sources indicate that one reason why most leasehold contracts are not registered with the LGUs is due to the unpaid real property taxes by the landowners. Increase DAR’s capability to conduct surveys. To hasten LAD implementation, DAR should add in-house survey teams and survey equipment to complement the existing survey teams. DAR should explore other methods (e.g. drones), especially in problematic landholdings, to reduce direct confrontation with belligerent landowners and their goons. Institutionalize local and national mechanisms to coordinate LAD and support services delivery. The government should institutionalize government-CSO mechanisms at the local and national levels to coordinate LAD-related activities and the effective delivery of support services to ARBs. There should be a one-stop shop for all agrarian reform-related engagements – e.g., land surveys, social preparation of ARBs, ARB installation, CLOA registration, and access to support services. The PARC should also review the ARC strategy with the goal of establishing a more effective and inclusive community-based support services delivery program. Introduce livelihood programs for terminated farmworkers due to CARP participation. There are cases where landowners terminate farmworkers once they are identified as beneficiaries of CARP. Since the LAD process can take one to three years, these farmworkers find themselves unable to provide even the basic needs for their families.
