BUTUAN CITY, Agosto 8 -– Ang Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms kon (CARPER) hangtud sa 2014 nakahatag og dakong benepisyo sa mga mag-uuma tungod kay ang Department of Agrarian Reform sa probensya sa Agusan del Norte nang-apud-apod na usab ug dugang 628 ektaryang luna ngadto sa 329 ka mag-uuma sa Barangay Bugsukan sakop ning dakbayan sa Butuan kaniadtong August 4, 2011.
Personal nga gidunol ni City Mayor Hon. Ferdinand M. Amante, Jr. ug Hon. Jose Joboy Aquino II, inabagan sa mga opisyales sa Department of Agrarian Reform ubos sa liderato ni DAR Regional Director Faisar A. Mambuay inubanan ni PARO II Andre B. Atega sa DAR ning probensya sa Agusan del Norte ang mga Certificate of Landownership Award kon (CLOA) ngadto na sa mga benepisyaryo sa naasoy nga barangay.
Regional Director Faisary A. Mambuay mipasalig sa tanang mag-uuma nga ang ahensya andam kanunay nga muhatag og ayoda sama sa support services ug legal assistance kon adunay problema ang benepisyaryo mahitungod sa iyang gitikad nga luna.
“Ang DAR dili lamang nagpunting sa pagpang-apud-apod og yuta apan lakip na usab ang mga support services nga ilatid aron makab-ot ang tiunay nga pag-uswag sa ekonomikanhong kalambuan sa mga mag-uuma” dugang pa ni RD Mambuay.
Alayon sa maong seremonyas, mipaabot ug pasalamat si Congressman Joboy Aquino sa mga proyekto nga gilatid sa DAR sa iyang distrito ug mipahalipay sa tanang mag-uuma nga hingpit na nga nakapanag-iya sa luna nga ilang gitikad.
Samtang sa laing bahin, si City Mayor Ferdinand Amante usab midasig sa tanang mag-uuma sa Barangay Bugsukan sa pagpalambo sa luna nga gitugyan kanila sa DAR kay sila usab nangita og mga imbestor nga mobubo og puhonan para sa kalambuan sa mga mag-uuma.
Sulod sa 23 ka tuig human nahimong balaud ang CARP, aduna nay 28,342 ektaryang luna ang na-apud-apod sa 15,699 nga benepisyaryo kon 78% batok sa working scope nga 36,094 ektaryang private ug public agricultural lands sa probensya sa Agusan del Norte.
Ilalom sa Agrarian Development Framework sa DAR, ang mga foreign-assisted projects naghatag ug package of interventions nga magsiguro nga mahimong produktibo ang mga gipanghatag nga yuta nga magresulta sa dugang abot ug paglambo sa kahimtang sa mga benepisyaryo ilawom sa programa.
Tungod niining pag-pang-apudapod og yuta sa DAR, ang katawhan sa Barangay Bugsukan nag-tuo nga sila makatampo sa pagpaningkamot sa gobyerno aron mapaubsan ang kapobrehon sa ilang dapit. (DAR-Agusan del Norte/PIA-Caraga)
