DARPO Abra in Action: Land Use Conversion Inspection and Monitoring of Indigo Housing Project

Personnel from the Land Tenure Services (LTS) Unit and Legal Division of DARPO Abra conducted on-site inspections of agricultural lands covered by land use conversion applications in Barangay Patucannay, Tayum, and Zone 6, Bangued, Abra, on October 28, 2026.

Working together they assess the properties and verify their actual conditions. Through these site visits, the team sought to determine whether the agricultural lands meet the requirements for conversion to non-agricultural purposes.
The activity also included the administration of the oath to land use conversion applicants.

The inspections provided an opportunity to gather relevant information and ensure that each application is evaluated based on actual site conditions and in accordance with existing laws and regulations.

As part of the same undertaking, the team also monitored the granted land use conversion for the Indigo Housing Project in Barangay Basbasa, Tayum, Abra.

The monitoring aimed to check the project’s current status and determine whether its implementation complies with the conditions and requirements of the approved land use conversion. Monitoring approved projects is essential to ensure that the lands are used for their authorized purposes and that the conditions of approval are properly observed.

These efforts reflect the Department’s commitment to fair processes and responsible land administration.

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR)–Project VISTA Abra conducted a Provincial Planning Workshop for the conduct of Provincial, Municipal, and Community-Level Stakeholder Consultations on October 25–27, 2026, at Em Royalle Hotel and Resort in San Juan, La Union.

The activity was attended by the National Task Force “Mapalad,” headed by National Coordinator Atty.

In her opening remarks, OIC PARPO II and Provincial Project Director Mariflor B. Torreliza underscored the importance of Project VISTA in strengthening Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Organizations (ARBOs) and promoting sustainable coffee and cacao production in Abra. She emphasized the need for effective stakeholder consultations, stronger partnerships with civil society organizations (CSOs), and the formulation of realistic and responsive action plans to ensure effective project implementation. She likewise highlighted the project’s potential to improve beneficiaries’ livelihoods, expand market opportunities, and advance sustainable development in agrarian reform communities.

As part of the workshop proceedings, Provincial Project Coordinator Rose Marie A. Collo presented the workshop objectives, scope, and expected outputs, while Senior SECAP Specialist Lorraine Ablan provided an overview of stakeholder consultations under Project VISTA.

Participants engaged in discussions on the proposed consultation approaches and implementation arrangements at the provincial, municipal, and community levels. The sessions covered the identification of target participants and communities, mapping of CSOs and other stakeholders, establishment of roles and responsibilities, proposed schedules and venues, documentation requirements, mobilization strategies, and logistical arrangements.

The workshop also facilitated the development and consolidation of consultation plans for the three levels, culminating in the review and finalization of the proposed provincial consultation schedule and implementation strategy.

Through this initiative, DAR Project VISTA Abra continues to strengthen collaborative planning and stakeholder participation in support of empowered agrarian reform beneficiaries, sustainable coffee and cacao value chains, and inclusive rural development.

💚 DAR ABRA BRINGS JOY THROUGH GIFT GIVING

The spirit of giving comes alive in Caganayan, Tineg, as the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR)–Abra successfully carries out its gift-giving activity, an initiative led by the DAREA, headed by its President Maylanee Miguel together with the association’s officers.

Originally scheduled as part of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) Anniversary celebration last June, the activity was postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions. Now finally realized, the long-awaited initiative brought smiles to the faces of the Caganayan community members and shared the warmth and joy of an early Christmas celebration.

Activities like this remind us that agrarian reform goes beyond land distribution. It is also about reaching out to communities, touching lives, and making a difference through genuine acts of service and compassion.

Small holder farmers have limited production, capital and market access.
Organized farmers can consolidate production, share knowledge, access services, develop enterprises and negotiate better market opportunities.
This is why farmer organizations and cooperatives are important in the VISTA model.
The transformation of one farmer is good.
The transformation of an organized community is better.
