SEC. 9. Restitution of the Agrarian Reform Award Forfeited Solely Due to Non-Payment of Annual Amortization and Interest. - Any pending administrative case involving the forfeiture by the DAR of the agrarian reform award solely due to the failure of an ARB to pay the thirty (30)-year amortization plus six percent (6%) annual interest shall immediately be dismissed motu proprio by the DAR. Under this Act, the DAR shall move for the dismissal of all actions pending with the courts relating to the collection of unpaid principal and interests over agricultural lands covered by agrarian reform laws. The execution of a final and executory administrative case decision due to the failure of an ARB to pay thirty (30)-years amortization plus six percent (6%) annual interest resulting in the disqualification of the ARB, the cancellation of the agrarian reform title, the extinguishment of the rights of possession and ownership of the awarded land, as well as the removal of the person from the awarded land or the dismantling of any improvements found therein, shall be immediately terminated, the agrarian reform award immediately restored, and the forfeiture decision accordingly reversed. Any agrarian reform title cancelled as a result of the final and executory administrative case decision shall immediately be reconstituted in favor of the ARB. In the event that the agricultural land has already been awarded to another beneficiary, the DAR shall as far as equitable award another land to the disqualified ARB.
