JUST recently, the City Agrarian Reform Office headed by Norberto Laguna and the Municipal Agrarian Reform Office in Bacon District headed by Lucy Bailon gathered the officials of Barangay Agrarian Reform Council (BARC) within the component city of Sorsogon for the BARC Strengthening Project funded under the Grassroots Participatory Budgeting.

     Two major activities were made in this Project which are Basic Training wherein they learned the salient features of CARP and CARPER; the organization development skills; leasehold system, and mediation process; as well as refreshing topics such as history of land reform and the memorandum circular no. 05, series of 2010 or the composition of BARC; and another activity is the Knowledge Journey wherein they travelled to Camarines Sur and get in touched with other organizations to learn new things from other’s experiences.
