DAR Secretary or his/her authorized representative and the Regional

Director. This shall also include ALI cases covered by special Administrative

Orders (A.O.s) such as, but not limited to, cases for exemption or exclusion

from coverage.

(b) Agrarian Reform Beneficiary refers to farmers who were granted

lands underP.D. No. 27andR.A. No. 6657, as amended, and regular

farmworkers who are landless, irrespective of tenurial arrangement, who

benefited from the redistribution of lands, as evidenced by an EP or a

CLOA.TCaSAH

(c) Cancellation refers to the process of annulling, invalidating, and

revoking the EPs, CLOAs, or other titles issued under any agrarian reform

program. It does not include the correction of entries in the said EPs,CLOAs, or other titles as the same falls under the jurisdiction of the DARAB,

wherein correction therein is defined as the process of correcting or

changing clerical or typographical errors (i.e., wrong spelling, age, etc.) in

the EPs, CLOAs, or titles issued under any agrarian reform program without

affecting substantial rights of other interested persons.

(d) Case Control Number refers to the number assigned by the clerk

of the Provincial Agrarian Reform Adjudicator (PARAD) to the petition for

cancellation received by it for monitoring purposes and for the determinationof case folders actually transmitted by the PARAD, which number shall be

substantially adopted up to the Office of the Secretary (OSEC) level. The

case control number shall be in a format distinct from ordinary DARAB

cases.

(e) Certificate of Finality refers to the original or certified true copy of

a Certificate or Order of Finality issued by the Regional Director or the

Secretary, or any of their authorized representatives, or the Office of the

President of the Philippines regarding Agrarian Law Implementation (ALI)

cases appealed to it, or an Entry of Judgment issued by a judicial court

regarding ALI and other related cases.

(f) Comment refers to the verified responsive pleading of the

respondent either admitting or denying the allegations in the petition and
http://www.lis.dar.gov.ph/documents/3795http://www.lis.dar.gov.ph/documents/7014http://www.lis.dar.gov.ph/documents/3795http://www.lis.dar.gov.ph/documents/7014

setting forth his/her defenses. Respondent may attach affidavit/s or counter-

affidavit/s and other relevant documents to the comment, pre-marked as

Exhibits "1", "2", "3", and so forth.

(g) Farmer Beneficiaries refer to Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries(ARBs).

(h) Final OrderorResolution is an order or resolution that disposes

of the subject matter in its entirety or terminates a particular proceeding or

action, leaving nothing else to be done but to enforce by execution what has

been determined by the court, quasi-judicial body, or tribunal.cASTED

(i) Exclusive Jurisdiction is the power to adjudicate a case to the

exclusion of all other courts and quasi-judicial bodies. It is that forum in

which an action must be commenced because no other forum has the

jurisdiction to hear and determine the action.

(j) Indispensable Party is a party who has such an interest in the

controversy or subject matter that a final adjudication cannot be made in his

absence, without injuring or affecting that interest. Agrarian reform

beneficiaries or identified beneficiaries and/or their associations are

indispensable parties in petitions for cancellation of their respective EPs,

CLOAs, or other title issued to them under any agrarian reform program.

The fact of non-registration of such associations with the Securities and

Exchange Commission, Cooperative Development Authority, or any other

concerned government agency, shall not be used against them to deny the

existence of their legal standing and interest in a case filed before the DAR.

(k) Investigation Proceeding is the process of verifying the allegations

in the petition and the comment.

(l) Misuse of the Land is any act causing substantial and

unreasonable damage on the land, and causing the deterioration anddepletion of its soil fertility and improvements thereon.

(m) Necessary Party is not an indispensable party but ought to be a

party if complete relief is to be accorded as to those already parties, or for a

complete determination or settlement of the claim subject of the action.


5/27

Except when the concerned Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer (PARO) is

himself the petitioner, in cases for cancellation, the PARO shall be

impleaded as party-respondent where it would be incumbent upon him to

defend the propriety of the issuance of the subject title. All oppositors to an

EP or CLOA shall be impleaded as a necessary party.

(n) Neglect or Abandonment refers to a clear and absolute intention

to renounce a right or a claim, or to abandon a right or property coupled with

an external act by which that intention is expressed or carried into effect.

Intention to abandon implies a departure, with the avowed intent of never

returning, resuming or claiming the right and the interest that have been

abandoned. It consists in any one of these conditions: (a) failure to cultivate

the lot due to reasons other than the non-suitability of the land to agricultural

purposes, for at least two (2) calendar years, and to pay the amortizations

for the same period; (b) permanent transfer of residence by the beneficiary

and his family, which has rendered him incapable of cultivating the lot; or (c)

relinquishment of possession of the lot for at least two (2) calendar years

and failure to pay the amortization for the same period.

(o) Nominal Party refers to the party to an action who is connected to

the case, but without any interest or prejudice, so that the tribunal can

resolve certain issues or have all the evidence proved with his help to give aproper judgment. This nominal party will not be affected by the result of the

case and is not at fault or considered for any benefits out of it. In cases for

cancellation, the Register of Deeds (ROD) of the place where the land

covered by EPs, CLOAs, or titles sought to be cancelled is situated must be

impleaded as party-respondent.

(p) Original Jurisdiction is the power to take cognizance of a case at

its inception, try it, and pass judgment thereon upon the law and facts.

(q) Pauper or Indigent Litigant is a party who is a farmer, agricultural

lessee, tenant, farm worker, actual tiller, occupant, collective or cooperative

of the foregoing beneficiaries, or amortizing owner-cultivator, and who shall

allege in the verified complaint/petition or sworn statement such fact without

need of further proof.


6/27

(r) Petition for Cancellation is a verified pleading alleging the grounds

relied upon by the petitioner in seeking the cancellation of the subject EPs,

CLOAs, or other titles issued under any agrarian reform program, which

shall be duly supported by original or certified true or photocopies of

relevant documents together with affidavits of witnesses, and accordingly

pre-marked as Exhibits "A", "B", "C", and so forth.AICHaS

The petition must include as party-respondents the concerned holders or

successors-in-interest of EPs, CLOAs, or other titles issued under any

agrarian reform program.

(s) Premature Conversion refers to the undertaking of any

development activity, the result of which may modify or alter the physical

characteristics of the agricultural land as would render it suitable for non-agricultural purposes, without an approved conversion order from the DAR,

pursuant to Section 11 ofR.A. No. 8435.

(t) Re-allocation refers to the process of substituting the farmer

beneficiary on a specific landholding because the said beneficiary is found

to be disqualified in an administrative proceeding. The grounds for re-

allocation include but are not limited to the following: (1) abandonment, (2)

waiver of rights to become a beneficiary, and (3) commission of illegal

transactions such as the transfer of rights or ownership of the awarded landwithout the written consent and approval of the DAR Regional Director

concerned.
