WHEREAS,
Presidential Decree No. 1768 established certain areas in the Agusan
Valley as agro-forest reserves; chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, owners of landed estates which were acquired by the Government
through voluntary agreement or through expropriation proceedings, who
were to be compensated for such lands under R.A. No. 926 but had not
received the full compensation agreed upon, were among those qualified
to lease areas in said agro-forest reserves under the provisions of
P.D. No. 1768;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, for reasons of equity and to accelerate the development of
such lands in the Agusan Valley by private capital, it is desirable
that those who have availed of the provisions of R.A. No. 926 but have
not received the full compensation agreed upon shall receive title to,
instead of only leasehold rights over, the lands.

do hereby order and decree: chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
