public and private agricultural lands to farmers and farmworkers who are landless,
irrespective of tenurial arrangement. CARPs vision is to have an equitable land
ownership with empowered agrarian reform beneficiaries who can effectively
manage their economic and social development to have a better quality of life.
On this note, the Department of Agrarian Reform is tasked with identifying
lands which are coverable under the program. The same government agency
identifies the farmer-beneficiaries and grants them the Emancipation Patent or
Certificate of Land Ownership Award.
One of the major programs of CARP is Land Tenure Improvement, which seeks
to hasten distribution of lands to landless farmers. Similarly, the Department offers
Support Services to the beneficiaries such as infrastructure facilities, marketing
assistance program, credit assistance program, and technical support programs.
Furthermore, the department seeks to facilitate, resolve cases and deliver Agrarian
Justice.
The legal basis for CARP is Republic Act No. 6657, otherwise known as the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL), signed by President Corazon C. Aquino
on June 10, 1988. It is an act which aims to promote social justice and
industrialization, providing the mechanism for its implementation, and for other
purposes.3
