The Department of Agrarian Reform on Wednesday warned its field officials against illegal use of fake agrarian reform beneficiary identification card and quarantine accreditation pass.
Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Office Luis Meinrado Pangulayan reminded the DAR field officials to guard themselves against the fabrication and distribution of such bogus IDs and passes.
DAR has been issuing ID cards for the facilitation of the farmers’ accessibility to government aid, while the quarantine accreditation passes are issued to enable the farmers to continue supplying agricultural products to critical areas affected by the Enhanced Community Quarantine.
“Vigilance must always be observed in preventing the existence of fake agrarian reform beneficiary IDs, the issuance and distribution of which are based on Memorandum Circulars No. 4, and No. 9, Series of 2020, and bogus quarantine accreditation passes, the issuance of which are based on MC No. 5 Series of 2020.” Pangulayan said.
All DAR officials and personnel must guarantee that the IDs and passes are only used by authentic farmer-beneficiaries, agrarian reform beneficiary organizations, agrarian reform communities and the agrarian reform cooperatives, he said.
