A total of 1,117 land titles were distributed to 901 agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) from Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela, and Quirino. One of the recipients, Willy Fableo from Jones, Isabela, expressed his joy in finally owning the land he had been tilling for 15 years.
In addition to the land titles, P263,800,000 worth of infrastructure and facilities, including seventeen (17) farm-to-market roads, a bridge in Isabela, and a road project in Cagayan were also turned over to ARBs.
Twenty-three (23) agrarian reform beneficiary organizations also received 80 farm machineries and equipment, benefiting 3,105 farmer-beneficiaries in the region.
Senator Imee Marcos underscored the farmers’ united effort in achieving agricultural prosperity, stating that “Ako ay naniniwala, nagtutulungan kayo para magkaroon hindi lamang ng titulo kung ‘di tunay na kaunlaran sa kabukiran ng Isabela at nang buong Pilipinas.”
Vice President Sara Duterte extended the President’s gratitude for working together toward his dream of a prosperous nation. “Mula kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, nagpapasalamat siya sa suporta ninyo sa kanyang pangarap at adhikain na Bagong Pilipinas para sa ating bansa.”
