Batangas farmers land dispute resolved

THE Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) said that the land dispute between farmers and hacienda owners in Batangas has been settled with the agency acting as a mediator.

DAR Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Napoleon Galit, in a statement emailed to The Manila Times, said that the resolution of the dispute between farmers' groups and Roxas and Co. Inc., covering Hacienda Palico, Banilad and Caylaway, all in Nasugbu, Batangas, did not dispossess farmers of their land as they claimed.
