The Department of Agrarian Reform in Caraga Region (DAR-13) reported on Thursday a 102-percent achievement in implementing Project SPLIT (Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling) in 2023.

DAR-13 regional director Merlita Capinpuyan said they managed to register 6,757 e-titles covering some 9,639 hectares across the region last year.

“DAR-13 is currently ranked third for e-titles registered and second for titles distributed nationwide,” Capinpuyan said in her report.

The accomplishment also benefited 6,758 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in the region, she added.

Capinpuyan urged DAR-13 personnel to continue their dedicated work to help the ARBs especially the holders of collective titles.

Project SPLIT, which is funded by the World Bank, is a priority program of the DAR. (PNA)
