SECRETARY Rosalinda Bistoyong of the Department of Agrarian Reform on Friday told agency officials to “do your assignments.”
She said top officials from the central, regional and provincial levels of the agency must perform their assignments, and that they will be held accountable for the accomplishments and failures in DAR’s performances on land tenure service, agrarian legal service, technical advisory support services, foreign-assisted and special projects office, and finance and administrative service.
“I would want our DAR targets to be achieved. We would help you achieve your targets that is why we will have a one-on-one session to assess the facilitating and hindering factors which contributed to the implementation of the expected deliverables,” she said.
“I receive a very tall order from our President that DAR should deliver in land tenure service. Land tenure service is the very spirit of agrarian reform and I would expect our regional directors to be hands-on in the implementation of the program.”
Agrarian reform disputes must be resolved, she warned agency officials.
