Malacañang said the distributed land titles were derived from the Support to Parcelization for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project. “This includes 2,687 titles covering 2,784 hectares, allocated to 2,062 ARBs, as well as 92 titles for new lands covering 118.7 hectares, distributed to 81 ARBs.”Marcos said that the government is on track to exceed the land distribution target for 2023, a feat that he said was the best Christmas gift to all.“Para ituloy ang mga nagawa na dito sa Agrarian Reform, I asked the DAR to complete the distribution of lands to their deserving owners while collaborating with all agencies of government to support our beneficiaries in anything that they might need,” he continued.Monday’s event in Iloilo was the President’s first public engagement since completing his 5-day isolation Sunday after getting infected anew with COVID-19.

Marcos said his administration is working to complete the distribution of land to all Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries before the end of his term.
