Equitable distribution of
NegOr lands sought
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Farmers organizations in Negros Oriental are in favor of extending the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program although they said the landholdings should be distributed equitably.
The farmers were among the more than 3,000 people who attended the public hearing, conducted by Representatives Pablo Garcia and Crispin Beltran, on the CARP extension consultation, yesterday at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex, Capitol Area, Dumaguete City.
Participants were from the Department of Agrarian Reform regional offices, various non-government organizations, landowners, people’s organizations and other stakeholders.
| AT TAÑON STRAIT Militant organizations and environmentalists from Cebu and Negros are closely watching the oil exploration in the Tañon Strait, as the 41-day extension period will expire this weekend. In an interview with the DAILY STAR, Trelly Marigza of women’s group Gabriela lamented the “playing safe” position of some local officials regarding the concern for environment, especially when it comes to government-initiated projects like the Tañon Strait oil exploration. In spite of this, Marigza said they are continuing with their campaign for Sangguniang Bayan resolutions to oppose the project. |
