A significant step toward strengthening land tenure security was marked during the SPLIT Project Stakeholders Forum for the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) of Davao Region, held on October 1, 2026, at the Arcadia Event Center in Davao City.

The Department of Agrarian Reform Provincial Office (DARPO) Davao del Norte actively participated in the activity alongside the other DAR Provincial Offices (DARPOs) in the Davao Region. The DAR Davao del Norte delegation was headed by Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II (PARPO II) Eduardo E. Suaybaguio and OIC-Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer I (OIC-PARPO I) Josie V. Caquilala.

The forum was conducted as part of the continuing implementation of the Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project, which aims to provide qualified Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries with individual land titles and strengthen their security of tenure.

A total of 10,423 electronic land titles (e-Titles) were distributed to ARBs across the Davao Region. These titles were generated from 1,294 Collective Certificates of Land Ownership Awards (CCLOAs) and cover a total of 13,910.57 hectares of agricultural land.

The e-Titles benefit a total of 16,517 ARBs from various areas in the Davao Region. Through the parcelization and individual titling process, beneficiaries are provided with clearer documentation of their ownership and rights over the agricultural lands they cultivate.

The distribution was led by DAR Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III, together with Undersecretary for Field Operations Office Atty. Kazel C. Celeste, Undersecretary for Finance, Management and Administration Office (FMAO) and Concurrent Office for Mindanao Affairs (OMA) Amihilda J. Sangcopan, and Undersecretary for Special Concerns Office (SCO) and External Affairs and Communications Operations Office (EACOO) Rowena Niña O. Taduran, along with DAR XI Regional Director Joseph H. Orilla.

The participation of DAR Davao del Norte, together with the other DAR Provincial Offices in the region, reflects the Department’s continuing efforts to facilitate the delivery of individual land titles and advance land tenure security among agrarian reform beneficiaries.

Beyond the numbers, each e-Title represents a clearer legal basis for land ownership and an opportunity for ARBs and their families to build a more secure future.
