Govt condones P88.8M loans for 3,296 ARBs in Bicol

The government has condoned over PHP88.8 million in loans, debts, and interest for 3,296 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in the Bicol Region.

This initiative, which covered approximately 5,397 hectares of agricultural land across Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Catanduanes, included the distribution of land titles and Certificates of Condonation with Release of Mortgage (CoCRoM).

Senator Imee Marcos led the distribution ceremony, emphasizing that the land titles awarded were the result of the beneficiaries' sacrifices and hard work.

One beneficiary, Lorenzo Bronola from Sorsogon, expressed gratitude for the condonation of PHP261,558 in unpaid amortizations, interests, and charges on his land.

This effort aligns with the current administration's commitment to expedite land distribution and improve the lives of farmer beneficiaries, following the enactment of the New Agrarian Emancipation Act in July 2023.
