Marathon Referendum for Subdivision of Collective Landholdings

A series of referendum was seen through the month of May to get the pulse of agrarian reform beneficiary organizations whether or not they are for subdivision of their collectively owned landholdings managed through cooperatives. An overwhelming response of affirmative votes swept through the following communities:

Tipo-tipo Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Cooperative (TIPARBECO) in Ungkaya Pukan municipality;

Tumahubong Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Integrated Development Cooperative (TARBIDC), Sumisip;

Tairan Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Agriculture Multi-Purpose Cooperative (TARBAMC), Lantawan;

Canas Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Development Cooperative (CARBADECO), Maluso, and

Tipo-tipo Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Development Cooperative (TARBADECO), Tipo-tipo.

  A sizeable crowd appears for TARBIDC consultation and referendum.

While Sta. Clara Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Integrated Development Cooperative (SCARBIDC) in Lamitan City failed to reach the required majority votes on the first scheduled referendum, it also joined the YES wagon after a second conduct, leaving Mangal Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Development Cooperative (MARBEDCO) in Sumisip township with a negative winning result. Lamitan Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Cooperative (LARBECO) is still yet to set its referendum schedule.
