Puerto Princesa City (7 December) — All systems go for DAR-Palawan in the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms (CARPER) Law as its entire provincial officials and rank-and-file employees recently underwent orientation on the provisions of the law.

Atty. Augusto Quijano, former DAR Undersectary for Legal affairs Office and current consultant for CARPER Law, one of the Resource Speakers emphasized the importance of being familiarized and well-versed with the IRR to steer clear of legal impediments on the CARP implementation.
