Number of Holdings/Farms |
| Definition |
Holding/Farm Parcel is one contiguous piece of land under one form of tenure without regard to land use. Both the contiguity and one form of tenure conditions should be met for a piece of land to be classified as one parcel. Contiguous means that the piece of land is not separated by natural or man-made boundaries such as river, dike and road that are not part of the holding. A parcel may be surrounded by other lands, water, road, forest or other features that are not part of the holding or part of the holding under different land tenure. A parcel may consist of one or more fields or plots adjacent to each other. |

| Definition |
Tenure status of the holder/farm parcel refers to the right under which a parcel is held or operated. A holding may be operated under a single form of tenure or under more than one form, in which case each form of tenure must be reported by parcel.A parcel may have any of the following tenure status:
1 Fully Owned - the land is operated with a title of ownership in the name of the holder and consequently, the right to determine the nature and extent of the use of the land. Included in this category are lands whose absolute ownership is vested in the holder through sale, and inheritance. A parcel, which is a part of the holding, is also considered fully owned if the holder has an absolute deed to the sale of the land. Likewise, lands of the tillers with Emancipation Patent are considered fully owned.
Emancipation Patent is the title of the land issued to a tenant upon paying completely his/her amortization of the land he/she tilled and upon compliance with all other government requirements. It represents the full emancipation of the tiller from the bondage of the tenancy, hence, vested the absolute ownership of such land.
2 Ownerlike possession - the land is under conditions that enable a person to operate it as if he/she is the owner although he/she does not possess a title of ownership. A land held under ownerlike possession includes those that are held under heirship which the title of ownership has not been transferred to the heirs. Also included in this category are inherited lands without title of ownership and those held under tax declaration.
Further, this category also includes areas without legal title of ownership which is operated uncontestedly and uninterruptedly by the holder for a period of 30 years or more, even without the permission of the owner, and lands being purchased on installment basis or under long-term contract.
3 Tenanted - the land is cultivated by a person, belonging to, or possessed by another, with the latter’s consent for purposes of production, sharing the produce with the landholder under the share tenancy system, or paying to the landholder a certain amount or ascertainable in produce or in money or both, under a leasehold tenancy system.
4 Leased/Rented – the land is cultivated by a lessee, which belongs to or is legally possessed by another, the lessor. The rental payment is in the form of a fixed amount of either money, produce or both.
5 Rent Free – the land is operated without title of ownership and without paying rent but with the consent or permission of the landowner.
6 Held under Certificate of Land Transfer (CLT) or Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) – the land is still being paid by the holder under the government land reform program of Operation Land Transfer (OLT). OLT is a systematic transfer of ownership of tenanted rice and corn lands from the landowners to the tenant-tillers while CLOA are titles issued to farmers for their farmlot as covered by Republic Act 6657 otherwise known as Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law. It must be noted that this category covers only those that are currently paying their amortization.
7 Held under Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT)/ Certificate of Ancestral Land Title (CALT) – the land is possessed by the Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous People (ICCs/IPs) in accordance with Republic Act 8371 of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) of 1997. CADT refers to a title formally recognizing the rights of possession and ownership of ICCs/IPs over their ancestral domains identified and delineated in accordance with RA 8371. CALT, on the other hand, is a title formally recognizing the rights of ICCs/IPs over their ancestral lands.
8 Held under Community-Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA)/ Stewardship – the forest land is cultivated by a person under the CBFMA or the Stewardship Agreement. CBFMA is a production sharing agreement between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the participating people’s organization for a period of 25 years renewable for another 25 years and shall provide tenurial security and incentives to develop, utilize and manage specific portions of forest lands. The Certificate of Stewardship Contract, on the other hand, is a contract issued to individual occupants in the Integrated Social Forestry (ISF) areas before the implementation of the CBFM program in 1996 pursuant to Letter of Instruction 1260 for a period of 25 years renewable for another 25 years.
9 Others, specify - lands held as mortgage and all other lands not falling under forms not categories 1 to 9 above including lands occupied without consent of owner for less than 30 years and forest land occupied by a person without any agreement with the DENR. Also included in this category is a land used by a person, wherein such land is mortgaged to him/her. If the land tilled by a person is his/her own but already mortgaged to another person, the tenure status of the land will also fall under this category.
