"The total cost of the land, including interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, shall be paid by the tenant in fifteen (15) years of fifteen (15) equal annual amortization.

"In case of default, the amortization due shall be paid by the farmers' cooperative in which the defaulting tenant-farmer is a member, with the cooperative having a right of recourse against him.

"The government shall guarantee such amortization with shares of stock in government-owned and government-controlled corporations."

"Art. 10. Conditions of ownership. — No title to the land acquired by the tenant-farmer under Presidential Decree No. 27 shall be actually issued to him unless and until he has become a full-fledged member of a duly recognized farmers' cooperative. 

"Title to the land acquired pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 27 or the Land Reform Program of the Government shall not be transferable except by hereditary succession or to the Government in accordance with the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 27, the Code of Agrarian Reforms and other existing laws and regulations."

Sec. 2. Any law, rule, regulation, circular or memorandum inconsistent with this Act is hereby declared null and void.

Sec. 3. This Act shall take effect immediately upon its approval.
