The noble purpose of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law to emancipate the tenants from the bondage of the soil and to transfer to them the ownership of the lands they till should not be the guise to trample upon the landowners' rights by including lands that are unquestionably outside the coverage of the CARL. Neither should such noble intention be frustrated by designating beneficiaries who are neither tenants or tillers of the land, nor otherwise qualified under the law to be the beneficiaries of land reform (DAR v. Pablo Berenguer, et al. G.R. No. 154094. March 9, 2010).
