Baliangao, Misamis Occidental – Municipal Mayor Agne V. Yap Sr. and Department of Agrarian Reform OIC PARPO II Alibasa G. Andig, led the distribution of Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) to 368 farmer-beneficiaries. The distribution of land titles which covers an area of 125.3658 hectares was held on May 13, 2015 at the Baliangao Municipal Gym.

The subject landholding was formerly owned by Richard Griffith containing an area of 210 hectares located at Barangay Landing, an agrarian reform community (ARC) in Baliangao, Misamis Occidental. An idle and abandoned land, the landholding was previously awarded to Baliangao Local Government Unit thru escheat proceedings and was subsequently turned-over to DAR under Executive Order No. 407/448 for distribution to qualified farmer-beneficiaries.
