Law Summary

Circumstances Necessitating Issuance of CARP Beneficiary Certificates (CBC)

    • Supreme Court rulings related to full compensation prior to State title transfer.
    • Need for subdivision surveys to determine land parcels.
    • Title consolidation in foreclosure proceedings (EO 407 & EO 448).
  • In such cases, beneficiaries possess land without EP or CLOA.
  • CBC acts as an intermediate document acknowledging beneficiary status.
  • CBC also entitles beneficiaries to receive CARP support services.

  • Beneficiaries must have executed Application to Purchase-Farmer's Undertaking (APFU) or Land Valuation Summary-Farmer's Undertaking (LVSFU).
  • Must have actual possession of land as tenants, farm workers, or with landowner's acquiescence.
  • Applicable to lands:
    1. Covered by CARP with Notices of Acquisition issued.
    2. Agricultural lands turned over to DAR under EO No. 407, amended by EO No. 448.
    3. Areas with EPs generated but unregistered due to legal constraints.
