Duavit, chairman of House Committee on Appropriations endorsed the report to House Speaker Manuel B. Villar, Jr. for the body’s immediate approval in order to “wipe out” the backlog of pending agrarian cases, help expedite the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and promote countryside peace through the resolution of agrarian conflicts.
