The State recognizes the indefeasibility of Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA), Emancipation Patent (EP) and other titles issued under any agrarian reform program. However, CLOAs, EPs and other titles erroneously issued do not attain indefeasiblity.
The titles generated and distributed pursuant to the agrarian reform program form an integral part of the property registration and enjoy the same respect accorded to other modes of acquiring title to lands. Taking into account the detailed procedure in the generation of these titles, flaws and issues may arise resulting to the erroneous issuance of the defined titles. As a consequence, titles of this nature shall be cancelled but only on grounds prescribed by existing rules and regulations and strictly observing the provisions of PD1529. The cancellation of the registered EPs, CLOAs and other titles issued under any agrarian reform program are within the exclusive and original jurisdiction of the Secretary of DAR.
