SENATOR Cynthia Villar presented on Monday for Senate deliberations the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR)’s proposed budget for 2025, amounting to P10.090 billion.
Villar said the proposed DAR budget increased by P2.009 billion, or 24.86 percent, compared to the current year’s allocation of P8.081 billion.
She expressed hopes it would be approve for DAR’s agrarian reform efforts to improve the lives of the country’s farmer-beneficiaries.
“I am hopeful that the budget of DAR will be approved to continue its agrarian reform efforts in improving the lives of our farmer-beneficiaries, the major key players who till and produce the food we eat,” Villar said.
DAR is charged with the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) with initiatives that are focused on land tenure improvement, agrarian justice and coordinated delivery of essential support services to client-beneficiaries.
