| The pronouncements in Torres were ruled to be applicable to land awards under RA 6657 in Maylem v. Ellano,[12] in Lebrudo v. Loyola,[13] and in Gua-an v. Quirino.[14] In these cases, the Court emphasized that any waiver and transfer of rights and interests within the 10-year prohibitory period under RA 6657 is void for violating agrarian reform law[15] whose main purpose is to ensure that the farmer-beneficiary shall continuously possess, cultivate, and enjoy the land he tills.[16] The affidavits and quitclaims signed by the farmers to surrender possession were accordingly declared void. | |||||
