Brief background of SPLIT Project
The SPLIT Project is a project of the Department of Agrarian Reform
(DAR) of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GoP)
which aims to improve security of tenure and strengthen property
rights of agrarian reform beneficiaries by accelerating the
subdivision of Collective Certificate of Land Ownership Awards
(CCLOAs) into individual titles that will be re-awarded to
beneficiaries who are co-owners of the project-covered landholdings.
SPLIT Project intends to cover around 139,000 CCLOAs involving 1.38
million hectares of CCLOA landholdings located in 77 provinces and
1,252 municipalities: landholdings that were supposed to be
subdivided among around a million agrarian reform beneficiaries
(ARBs) when the titles thereon were issued in the ‘90s.
Project Description
SPLIT Project aims to fast track the agricultural landholdings covered by the agrarian reform program
wherein collective Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CCLOA) were issued to several farmer
beneficiaries and/or its association over lands that are not collectively farmed or operated in an
integrated manner. The subdivision of the CCLOA is in line with the directive of Former Pres. Rodrigo
Roa Duterte for the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) to facilitate the survey and re-
documentation of CCLOAs in order to generate and issue individual CLOAs to farmer beneficiaries
until the end of his term in year 2022.
SPLIT project will promote social justice and pursue the full implementation of the Comprehensive
Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) by: I) enabling farmer beneficiaries to have a clear and defined
ownership of the parcels of land they are tilling; II) encourage farmers to increase their production
and make long-term improvement of their land; III) stabilize the ownership, tenureship, and control of
the lands awarded to the concerned agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs); IV) encourage individual
farmers to pay amortization fees as the same can be properly computed and collected; V) attain
sound rural development through equitable distribution of all agricultural lands across the country;
and VI) generate short-term income opportunities for the project workers who will be hired in the
implementation of this project.
