Such legislation supports the presidents commitment to emancipate agrarian reform beneficiaries from agrarian reform debt burden,&quot; ayon sa opsiyal. </p><p>Sakaling maging batas, ang condonation ay aabot sa P57 billion na pakikinabangan ng 674,602 agrarian reform beneficiaries.</p><p>Suportado rin ng LandBank of the Philippines ang panukala.</p><p>Ayon kay Landbank of the Philippines Vice President Marife Lyn Pascua, ang kabuuang halaga ng condonation ay aabot sa P57.84 billion as of Dec. 31, 2022. Sakop nito ang 650,431 na benepisyaryo.</p><p>Sa nasabing bilang, 264,426 magsasaka lang ang may accounts sa LandBank at 386,005 ang walang accounts sa Landbank.</p><p>Kaya tanong ni Senator Villar, kung mapapasama ba sa condonation program ang mga walang accounts at individual titles?</p><p>Sabi ni Pascua, kahit ang mga wala pang individual titles ay pupwede pa ring makinabang sa condonation dahil may listahan naman ang DAR at magbibigay rin sila ng certificate of condonation.</p><p>&quot;This may be covered by condonation because the DAR has the listings of all these accounts, then the DAR has to issue Certificate of Condonation which will be annotated on the individual titles on the Registry of Deeds,&quot; aniya. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/13/22/marcos-oks-moratorium-on-payment-of-land-amortization">EO issued for &#x27;year-long&#x27; moratorium on farmers&#x27; payment of land amortization</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/07/25/22/marcos-vows-to-ease-farmers-debt-burden">Marcos to issue EO easing farmers&#x27; debt burden, urges Congress to condone loans</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/12/22/house-oks-agrarian-reform-condonation-bill">House OKs agrarian reform condonation bill on final reading</a></li></ul><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2412901" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><div> </div>
