VELASCO JR., J.
Quite contrarily, in Sta. Monica Industrial & Dev't. Corp. v. DAR,[62] this Court underscored the significance of notice in implementing the agrarian reform program when it stated that "notice is part of the constitutional right to due process of law. It informs the landowner of the State's intention to acquire a private land upon payment of just compensation and gives him the opportunity to present evidence that his landholding is not covered or is otherwise excused from the agrarian law."
