Source: DAR Legal Affairs Office June 2018 The implementation of the program has been contentious and problematic, especially in acquiring private agricultural lands. Figures 3, 4 and 5 above show the annual volume and disposition of agrarian dispute cases. A high volume of agrarian-related cases remains after 30 years of CARP implementation. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of Agrarian Law Implementation (ALI) cases, DARAB cases, and Mediation cases recorded after RA 9700 was passed in 2009. On the other hand, there has been a rapid decline in the volume of agrarian cases filed with judicial courts, due to RA 9700 that granted DAR the exclusive jurisdiction over all agrarian cases. There is renewed resistance among landowners who resort to filing legal cases to stop CARP coverage of their lands. But while the DAR legal office recorded a high accomplishment rate in the number of cases resolved, how these cases have been decided cannot be determined from existing data. Until recently, there was no systematic tracking of cases, such that disputes may reoccur on the same property, or past cases may be reopened. Accomplishments refer to the number of decisions and actions taken on cases, rather than whether the specific land disputes had been permanently resolved.
