PHThe case stemmed from a legal battle by Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI) which owns a total of 6,245.6484 hectares of land located in Tarlac City, and La Paz and Concepcion towns also in Tarlac. In 2013, DAR issued notices of land valuation and acquisition to HLI informing it about the coverage of its property under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). Under CARP, the government promised to redistribute private and public agricultural lands to the tillers. State-run Landbank valued the land and determined that around 4,500.7978 hectares of the land was subject to just compensation.
