Title Supreme Court: Increase Land Sale Limit on Friar Lands

Law: Act No. 3024

Decision Date: Mar 8, 1922

Act No. 3024 of the Philippine Law was enacted to increase the maximum land area for individual sale, introduce limitations on land sales to corporations, and exempt government entities from these limitations, ultimately promoting equitable land ownership and preventing monopolistic control.

A

Possession and Management of Vacant Friar Lands

The Director of Lands is vested with the authority to take possession of any friar lands found to be vacant.
Upon taking possession, the Director may either lease or sell the lands.
Leasing is allowed for terms not exceeding three years.
Sales and leases must follow the procedures established in Section Eleven of the original Act.

Limitations on Sale of Friar Lands

Sales of friar lands to individuals are limited to a maximum of 100 hectares per individual.
Sales of friar lands to corporations are limited to a maximum of 1,024 hectares.
These limitations are designed to regulate the distribution and ownership concentration of friar lands.

Exceptions to Land Sale Limitations

The hectare limitations do not apply when sales are made to governmental entities including provincial or municipal governments.
Sales to any other branch, subdivision, or entity of the Government are likewise exempted from the hectare limitations.

Effectivity

The Act takes effect immediately upon approval, specifically on March 8, 1922.
