Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado Estrella III warns agrarian reform beneficiaries about selling their land following the signing of the New Agrarian Emancipation Act by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The secretary emphasized that under the law, beneficiaries are not allowed to sell the land they are tilling to others within 10 years.
Estrella further explained that if beneficiaries sell their land before the 10-year period, the government will reclaim it and allocate it to other beneficiaries.
The agrarian reform official also stated that they are gradually advising the agrarian reform beneficiaries regarding this matter.
He pointed out that they need to receive the land titles and stressed the need to wait for 10 years before selling the land to others.
