As the 2027 deadline for Project SPLIT approaches, the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Leyte is significantly accelerating its operational pace. Steering this massive provincial offensive is PARPO II Roderick Rances, who gathered the leadership and field commanders to orchestrate the next major phase of the project: the Survey by Administration.
To tackle a heavy 13,000-hectare target for Calendar Year 2026, the provincial force is actively taking on an initial, closely monitored 6,500-hectare downloading.
The recent deployment briefing operated with the intense focus of a tactical war room. During the strategy sessions, Parcelization Coordinators CARPO Perpetua Sabaldan, CARPO Marissa Estolano, CARPO Amita Barte, and MARPO Marichu Ty convened with their respective parcelization support staff.
Across the tables, they huddled with our Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officers (MARPOs) to map out geographical clusters and engineer strict weekly deployment schedules tailored to the specific needs of each municipality.
To execute this province-wide push, a highly dynamic heavy-hitting task force of 21 Geodetic Engineers has been integrated into the provincial grid. This group is a deliberate mix of organic personnel and project-hired technical experts.
While these engineers are noticeably young, they are the cream of the crop. Many are veterans of the project's early Field Validation Team (FVT) days. Others have already proven their mettle as members of the Redocumentation Completion Teams (RCTs), whose recent recomposition paved the way for these experts to be officially absorbed into our admin survey efforts.
Bridging years of field experience with fresh technical precision, our veteran MARPOs are teaming up closely with this majorly young, highly battle-tested generation of engineers to tackle the complexities on the ground.
The regional command is directly backing this province-wide deployment. Assistant Regional Director for Operations Atty. Bryan A. Lassiter and Project Consultant Renato G. Badilla set the absolute operational rules for the teams. They actively fielded on-the-spot questions and technical clarifications from our MARPOs to ensure complete alignment.
They mandated that field personnel must aggressively document actual tillers and resolve disqualification cases right at the source. This strict instruction ensures every surveyed lot is legally airtight before reaching the Registry of Deeds.
With the deployment schedules set, DAR Leyte is fully locked in on these targets.
Serving as the undisputed linchpin of agrarian reform in the region, DAR Leyte is moving with purpose and precision, confident that this focused strategy will soon turn the ambitious goals of Project SPLIT into stable, titled futures for our Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs).
