The Economic Development Committee of the RDC2 favorably endorsed the extension of the period of implementation of the Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling (SPLIT) Project during its fourth quarter meeting held virtually on 20 November 2023. An extension will allow the proponents sufficient time to disribute e-titles to over a million agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARB) nationwide. The project aims to improve the ARB’s land tenure security and stabilize their property rights.

The EDC also discussed the economic chapters of the 2023 Regional Development Report and the updating of the Regional Development Investment Program.
