New DAR-XI chief assumes post


DAVAO CITY, July 17 — The new chief of the Department of Agrarian Reform in Davao Region has recently assumed post replacing Regional Director Datu Yusoph B. Mama.

Regional Director Fidel B. Morales took over the helm from the outgoing head in a simple turn-over rites on July 10.

Mama acknowledged that he will leave the office in capable hands as he turned over the symbolic “key” of responsibility to his successor.

He thanked all the officials and personnel for their support during his four-year stint in the region, encouraging them to extend the same support to the incoming official.

Mama will be reassigned at the Support Services Office of DAR Central Office in Diliman, Quezon City.

Morales served as the OIC-Assistant Regional Director for Operations (ARDO) of DAR Region-12 in Cotabato City before being promoted to his present post.

Last year, DAR Region 12 bested all other regions nationwide in terms of land distribution performance.

The same feat was again repeated for the first quarter of this year.

In his acceptance speech, Morales indicated that he is up to the challenge, amidst the backlog of last year’s dismal land distribution performance of the region which is a manifestation of the difficulty being encountered in acquiring the remaining landholdings identified for distribution under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program.
