Land surveying and Nueva Ecija

Pantabangan Dam shaped land in northern Nueva Ecija: Proclamation No. 1355 of 1974 reserved about 3,015 hectares in Pantabangan to resettle residents displaced by the reservoir, to be administered jointly by NIA and DAR once the settlers had moved.

DAR has also distributed CLOAs in Cuyapo, Talavera, Guimba, Rizal and Pantabangan, so some farm parcels in the province carry an agrarian reform title.

Palayan City alone reports 1,710 hectares of rice area.

Common problems in Nueva Ecija

• Resettlement lots from the Pantabangan Dam: Land reserved under Proclamation 1355 was set aside for families displaced by the dam, with NIA and DAR administering separate areas. A verification survey tied to the records shows what a family's lot actually covers.
• CLOA parcels in Cuyapo and Talavera: DAR distributed 364 land titles over 192.62 hectares in these two towns in 2020. Restrictions that come with a CLOA are for DAR to confirm. A survey fixes where the awarded parcel lies on the ground.
• Roads and expressways across farmland: When an expressway or road right-of-way crosses a farm, a survey of the remaining lot records the area left to the owner. It helps to have the plan before any compensation or sale is discussed.
• Rice parcels subdivided for housing: Before rice land is subdivided for housing, it is advisable to confirm with DAR and the LGU how the parcel is classified. A subdivision survey shows the lots but does not change land use.
