LAMUT, Ifugao,Thursday March 17 -The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) here recently generated for distribution 62 Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) titles to farmers of Sitio Dilan of Barangay Payawan, this municipality.


The titles covering 107 hectares are part of the DAR’s objective in giving lands to the landless or to finalize ownership by the farmers who have been cultivating their lots but cannot be given titles as these are still considered as inalienable or disposal lots.


DAR engineer Mercedita Matusalem said that they were able to survey and approve for titling 223 hectares of land in this barangay but only 107 will be distributed this time; the remaining 112 hectares will be awarded later this year.


The 62 CLOA titles are already registered at the Registry of Deeds ready for distribution to the identified beneficiaries consisting of 43 males and 19 females.


An area covering 3.553 hectares located in the same barangay occupied by six farmers is pending titling since there is a conflict among them which is pending for resolution.


It was agreed during the barangay dialogue last January 13, 2011 presided by Barangay Captain Moreno Guinomon that titles to lots with conflicts of claim can only be issued after the problems are settled.(PIA-CAR/Ifugao)
