Since its establishment, the Katibuan San Luis Cooperative (KASALCO) in Brgy. Poblacion, San Luis, Agusan del Sur has steadily grown its membership, strengthened its support for farmer-members, and expanded its agricultural services.

With support from the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), KASALCO gained access to Farm Machinery and Equipment (FMEs), production inputs, and cargo vehicles that helped improve farm operations, reduce post-harvest losses, and bring their products closer to better markets.

Continuing to work together despite challenges, KASALCO shows that progress does not happen overnight. It is built through cooperation, perseverance, and the courage to keep moving forward.

Through its continued support to agrarian reform communities, DAR helps farmers like the members of KASALCO turn collective effort into stronger livelihoods and better opportunities.

For years, Consolacion Otaza, together with her husband, nurtured their 2.8993-hectare farm in Brgy. Poblacion, La Paz, Agusan del Sur without the assurance of land ownership. Through the support of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), they were granted ownership of the land they had long cultivated, giving their family the confidence to invest not only in their farm but also in their children's future.

What once provided only enough for their family's daily needs eventually became the foundation that enabled their children to pursue higher education and build successful careers both in the Philippines and abroad.

In DAR, we celebrate mothers whose unwavering faith, resilience, and dedication have transformed challenges into opportunities. Consolacion's story proves that when the opportunity to own and cultivate a tilled land is given, it can nurture brighter futures and create lasting legacies for generations to come.

Planting Camote is Fun! 🌱🍠

In line with the advocacy of our Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III to promote food security and sustainable backyard gardening, DARMO La Paz has started its first trial of "Kamote sa Sako" (Sweet Potato in a Sack).

This simple initiative demonstrates that even in an office setting, anyone can grow healthy food using limited space. More than just an ornamental addition to our surroundings, the kamote sa sako serves as a practical and sustainable way to produce nutritious food right at your doorstep.

Small space. Simple effort. Healthy harvest. Together, let's grow a greener and healthier community! 🌿🍠

A total of 11 Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs) covering 19.6714 hectares were distributed to 11 Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) in the Municipality of La Paz during the regular Monday LGU Weekly Updates sponsored by the Department of Agrarian Reform Municipal Office (DARMO)–La Paz.

The activity was attended by Hon. Mayor Michael D. Lim, Hon. Vice Mayor Allan D. Lim, members of the Sangguniang Bayan, LGU department heads and CARPO Ruth A. Galvez of DARPO Agusan del Sur.

CARPO Galvez thanked the LGU of La Paz for its continued partnership with DAR in improving the lives of ARBs and reminded the beneficiaries to make their lands productive, declare them under their names at the Municipal Assessor’s Office, pay the corresponding taxes and comply with the ten-year prohibition on the sale or transfer of awarded lands.

Expressing her gratitude, ARB Wenilyn Ducena shared, “Sa akong edad nga 63, nakaangkon ra gayud ako og titulo. Salamat sa atong Pangulo Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ R. Marcos Jr. sa iyang mandato nga mapadali ang paghatag sa titulo sa mga mag-uuma, kang Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III ug Hon. Mayor Michael D. Lim sa ilang makanunayong suporta.”

The CLOA distribution highlights the government's commitment to providing farmers with secure land tenure while promoting agricultural productivity, local food security and sustainable rural development through the continued partnership between DAR and the LGU.
