I. PREFATORY STATEMENT
II. PARTIES
14. The basis of the application for cancellation of CLOAs is that the
herein applicant was totally denied of due process. For one, there was no
showing that a notice of coverage and letter of invitation to a preliminary
conference had been sent and actually received by the herein applicant.
For another, there was no showing also that a notice of acquisition had
been sent by DAR and actually received by the herein applicant.
VI. DISCUSSION/ARGUMENTS
15. The case of ROXAS & CO., INC., vs. THE HONORABLE
COURT OF APPEALS, DEPARTMENT OF AGRARIAN REFORM,
SECRETARY OF AGRARIAN REFORM, DAR REGIONAL DIRECTOR
FOR REGION IV, MUNICIPAL AGRARIAN REFORM OFFICER OF
NASUGBU, BATANGAS and DEPARTMENT OF AGRARIAN REFORM
ADJUDICATION BOARD,(G.R. No. 127876. December 17, 1999)
underscored the two notices requirement under the R.A. 6657, to wit:
16. In the herein case, the applicant had not actually received even
one of those two notices during the time the property of the herein applicant
is being subjected to the compulsory coverage and acquisition by DAR.
That as already stated, the only notice it received was the notice from the
Land Bank of the Philippines dated October 15,2018. That notice from the
Land Bank of the Philippines simply means that the landholding of the
applicant has already been covered under CARP; distributed to farmers;
issued CLOA; and registered in the name of the beneficiaries. These facts
about its landholding were only confirmed by the applicant upon its
thorough verification starting from its receipt of such notice from the LBP.
That this Office or its concerned Officers could not provide the folder of
documents that would show that the compulsory coverage and acquisition
of its land by the government through CARP had observed due process.
This is because as already stated, other than the two-page memorandum
and the earlier letter-reply issued by PARPO II Ileona B. Pangilinan, no
further documents were ever provided.
17. The fact also that the entire landholding of the herein applicant
has been covered within the ambit of CARP would further show that the
herein applicant had no actual participation in the said compulsory
coverage and acquisition by the government of its land through CARP.
Had the applicant been notified of the coverage and received a letter
invitation to a preliminary conference, it could have at least identified its
preferred retention area, assuming that the applicant would not oppose the
compulsory coverage and acquisition. AGAIN, IN THE HEREIN CASE,
ITS ENTIRE LANDHOLDING WAS COMPULSORILY COVERED AND
ACQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR CARP PURPOSES WITHOUT
DUE PROCESS.
18. Other evidence that would show that the landholding of the
herein applicant was invalidly covered under CARP and that the herein
applicant-petitioner was totally denied of due process, a perusal of its
latest Certified Electronic Copy issued by the Registry of Deeds based in
Tarlac City would clearly show that the entire property has remained up
until now in the name of the herein applicant. Moreover, copies of the
Official Receipt of the payment of the Real Property Tax of the herein
subject property, from year 2010 to year 2018 would also show that the
owner of the entire property and the one paying taxes thereon is still the
herein applicant-petitioner. Attached as ANNEX “G” herewith is the copy
of the Certified Electronic Copy of TCT No. 64589. Also attached herewith
as ANNEXES “H” to “H-9” are the copies of the said Official Receipts of
the payment of Real Property Taxes by the herein applicant-petitioner.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, in the INTEREST of JUSTICE and EQUITY, it is
respectfully prayed to this Honorable Office that this APPLICATION FOR
CANCELLATION of CLOA No. 13137; CLOA No. 15234; CLOA No. 13138;
CLOA No. 15235; CLOA No. 15236; & CLOA No. 15237 be GIVEN DUE
COURSE.
Other relief, just and equitable, under the premises is likewise prayed
for.
