00:00It is now time for the government to distribute aid and services to our countrymen who will be affected by the pandemic.

00:07President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will be the first to distribute it today.

00:13Kenneth Paciente with the live details.

00:20Audrey, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will be the first to distribute aid from the government

00:28to our countrymen here in Coron, Palawan.

00:31To give us more details, we will have with us this morning

00:36Presidential Communications Office Assistant Secretary Joey Villarama

00:42to give us an overview of our activities today.

00:47Good morning, Asec.

00:48Good morning, Kenneth. Good morning to all of our viewers.

00:51Asec, can you give us an overview of what will happen this morning here in Coron, Palawan?

00:57This is the continuation of the program of the Department of Agrarian Reform

01:02to distribute aid to landless farmers.

01:06Today, here in Coron, the President will be giving about 1,270 kloa,

01:14equivalent to about 2,900 hectares.

01:19We know that since the start of the administration,

01:22the President wanted to continue what his father, President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr., started

01:29by giving titles to our farmers

01:32so that they will be able to provide food to our people.

01:37I understand that this is also the way of the government

01:40for food security that the government always focuses on.

01:45Yes, because our issue here in the Philippines is

01:49that we have a lot of farmers who are willing to cultivate lands

01:54but they are not the ones who are farming.

01:57So, when the farmers go to them, they will be more productive

02:03and obviously, if our farmers are more productive,

02:06it will be beneficial to our food security.

02:10Sir, how did we choose or how were these beneficiaries chosen?

02:14And are we specific on how much land each ARB will be able to provide?

02:19That depends on the place.

02:22But the basic criteria is that the tenant or landless farmer should be in the barangay

02:29or the place where the title will be given.

02:32Obviously, if it's a Filipino citizen.

02:34And of course, he should have the ability to cultivate the land

02:39because there will be a field investigation if he meets the criteria.

02:45The most basic, aside from the residency and citizenship requirement,

02:50is that he should be able to cultivate the land that will be given to him.

02:57Sir, you have mentioned that there should be the ability to cultivate or to provide.

03:01But how will the government help in that aspect so that they can provide their land?

03:07That is also part of the trust of the administration in terms of ensuring food security.

03:12So, there are extension services for the farmers to learn new skills.

03:19And obviously, to speed up the process, there is a program for mechanization.

03:25So, the farmers will be helped to get new skills or knowledge and technology

03:32so that their farm will be more productive.

03:35Sir, how can we ensure that the transition of land titles will be smooth here in our ARBs?

03:42As I mentioned earlier, there is a field inspection, right?

03:48Preliminarily, to know if it is deserving or if the title should be given.

03:54So, they will still look at it to know if the land is really being used.

03:59Because there are issues there that if the title is received, it will be transferred to others.

04:04So, there will be a continuous verification and inspection to see if the land is really being used for farming.

04:12Sir, do we still have a plan to expand the land titles in other places?

04:17In the beginning of the administration, the land that will be given to the farmers is about 1.3 million hectares.

04:28So, in an interview with Secretary Estrella, maybe last month or three weeks ago,

04:34he said that until 2028, there are 800,000 hectares of land

04:39that the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos plans to distribute to the farmers.

04:46So, that is our goal to give the titles to our farmers until 2028.

04:56So, that is your message to our farmers about the programs of the administration for them?

05:02Yes, part of the priority of the President that we mentioned, Kenneth, is food security.

05:09But how can we ensure food security?

05:12We need to give support to our farmers.

05:16So, the giving of titles and the opening of farm-to-market roads,

05:22which will also be turned over today,

05:25is just one of the major priorities of our President to really support our farmers.

05:34As we know, there is also a plan to expand our irrigation, our cold storage facilities.

05:41So, we are just waiting.

05:43The plans are just gradually unraveling.

05:47There are processes that need to be followed.

05:50But what is certain is that the support of our President is with our farmers and fishermen.

05:58Thank you very much, Asek, for the details you shared with us.

06:01Thank you, and we will come back to you later.

06:04And yes, Audrey, we are just waiting for the arrival of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. here in Coron, Palawan.

06:10As you can see behind me, the ARB are already here,

06:13and they are already excited to receive President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,

06:17their land titles, which will finally be given to them,

06:21the land that they have been farming for a long time.

06:24And that is the latest.

06:25Back to you, Audrey.

06:27Thank you very much, Kenneth Paciente.
