In this 2024 Decision of the Supreme Court, it declared void the transfers of ownership, rights, or possession over lands acquired pursuant to Presidential Decree 27 (PD 27).  It also emphasized that any waiver and transfer of rights and interests under PD 27 is void for violating the agrarian reform law, whose main purpose is to ensure that the farmer-beneficiary shall continuously possesses, cultivates, and enjoys the land they till. In fine, any agreement signed by the farmer-beneficiary to surrender rights or interest over lands awarded under PD 27 is void.
