Forty-one agrarian reform beneficiaries were installed Wednesday in the land formerly owned by the Moras Vicente Agricultural Corp. in Novallas, Tanjay City, Negros Oriental.

Provincial Agrarian Reform officer Grace Fua said they were installed after it was ascertained that there is no legal problem on the landholding.

Fua also stressed to the beneficiaries that they must not leave the landholding after the installation, because there will be no second one.

In his directive, Regional director for Eastern Visayas of the Department of Agrarian Reform, Rodolfo Inson said there would be “no second installation” as agreed on during several area consultations with the ARBs and the non-government organizations in the province recently.

Municipal Agrarian Reform Officer of Tanjay, Lumel Chiu, said that five years were over. The Certificate of Landownership Award was registered last March 31, 2003 and it is just right to install the ARBs, he added.

 Fua reminded the ARBs of their rights and obligations, among which is to make the land productive.*RG
