(Photo courtesy of DAR) MANILA - An agriculture graduate finally fulfilled her dream of having a college diploma, but her blessings came abundantly after receiving a parcel of farmland under her name from the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR). Twenty-four-year-old Jie Anne Villacrusis of Barangay Alcate, Oriental Mindoro could not contain her emotion as she recalled how her father endured tilling and cultivating other people's farmland just to bring food to their table. "I have seen my father's backbreaking work on leased farmland yet, we were still poor since he couldn't take home all the farm yields' earnings because he needed to pay for the rentals and other farm expenses," she said.

DAR Secretary Bernie F. Cruz (Photo courtesy of DAR) MANILA - The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) have simplified the procedures and documentary requirements to speed up the conduct of field investigations and land valuation activities for landholdings covered under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). DAR Secretary Bernie F. Cruz said the challenge of completing the land acquisition and distribution (LAD) process in the remaining private agricultural lands has been a recurring issue in the implementation of the CARP.

Labor Attache Alejandro Padaen of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Lebanon said in a news release on Sunday that officials should first consult with people on the ground and carefully study the situation in destination countries before policy pronouncements are made. Abdullah Mama-o, newly appointed secretary of the Department of Migrant Workers, is eyeing the lifting of suspension on the deployment of newly hired skilled and household service workers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region, including Libya and Iraq. Citing Lebanon, Padaen said the country is yet to recover from the political and economic turmoil, and has yet to conclude an agreement on a standard contract, especially those covering domestic workers.
