This significant moment was witnessed by DAR Regional Director Merlita S. Capinpuyan and Assistant Regional Director for Administration Joie L. Ceballos, whose presence emphasized the importance of strong leadership and accountability in advancing agrarian reform programs in the province.

The following are the newly designated MARPOs and caretakers:

DARMO Trento: MARPO Jimmielho Azares

DARMO Rosario: OIC-MARPO Roger AΓ±asco

This dual-purpose activity underscored the DAR’s commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration and ensuring a seamless transition of responsibilities within its offices. By addressing past performance and appointing dedicated leaders to key positions, the DAR Agusan del Sur continues to reinforce its mission of delivering timely and effective services to agrarian reform beneficiaries.

The department remains steadfast in its goal to empower agrarian reform stakeholders, ensuring that programs and services contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future. (DAR Agusan del Sur/PIA-Agusan del Sur)
