power to decide the question.
Same The determination of just compensation under Section
16(d) of R.A. 6657 or the CARP Law is not final or conclusive The
pride or value of the land and its character at the time it was
taken by the Government will be the criteria for determining just
compensation.The determination of just compensation under
Section 16(d) of R.A. 6657 or the CARP Law, is not final or
conclusiveunless both the landowner and the tenantfarmer

case is to bring the matter to the Regional Trial Court acting as a
Special Agrarian Court for the adjudication of just compensation.
The price or value of the land and its character at the time it was
taken by the Government will be the criteria for determining just
compensation.

Finally, petitioners claimed that some officials and
employees of DAR Region IV, the MARO of General Trias,
Cavite, the Land Bank of the Philippines, and the Register
of Deeds of Cavite, with intent to gain, conspired with other
private persons and several members of ARBA to deprive
