Bukidnon farmers query delayed title distribution

FARMERS in Bukidnon raised concerns over delays in the issuance of Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) in the province after the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) recently distributed more than 10,000 titles in the Caraga Region in December.

In a statement, the Don Carlos Bukidnon United Farmers Association, Inc. (DCBUFAI) said hundreds of its members are still awaiting CLOAs covering about 109 hectares of land in Don Carlos, Bukidnon. The land was formerly part of Bukidnon Farms, Inc., which was turned over to the government for redistribution in 1986.

The group said the prolonged processing has left farmers without tenure security, affecting productivity and exposing them to land disputes.

“Our members have complied with requirements and participated in the (agrarian reform) process. The slow pace of issuance deprives us of the stability we need to improve our livelihoods,” DCBUFAI President Jovencio Destor was quoted as saying in a statement.

The group urged DAR Region X to fast-track the processing and distribution of CLOAs to qualified beneficiaries in Bukidnon.

DCBUFAI and allied organizations have also asked the DAR Central Office to review bottlenecks in CARP implementation in Don Carlos, citing disparities in the pace of land title distribution across regions.

Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III earlier told BusinessWorld that DAR hopes to distribute 400,000 hectares of farmland to agrarian reform beneficiaries this year.

He said about 700,000 hectares of agricultural land are left to be awarded to farmers, with most of the land located in Mindanao and the Visayas.

“This year, we will go for 400,000 hectares and finish the balance by 2027,” he said via Viber. — Vonn Andrei E. Villamiel

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
