    YES.

    It was in furtherance of such policy that the Land


    Reform Code was enacted and the various agencies,
    the ACA among them, established to carry out its
    purposes. There can be no dispute as to the fact that
    the land reform program contemplated in the said
    Code is beyond the capabilities of any private
    enterprise to translate into reality. It is a purely
    governmental function, no less than, the establishment
    and maintenance of public schools and public
    hospitals. And when, aside from the governmental
    objectives of the ACA, geared as they are to the
    implementation of the land reform program of the
    State, the law itself declares that the ACA is a
    government office, with the formulation of policies,
    plans and programs vested no longer in a Board of
    Governors, as in the case of the ACCFA, but in the
    National Land Reform Council, itself a government
    instrumentality; and that its personnel are subject to
    Civil Service laws and to rules of standardization with
    respect to positions and salaries, any vestige of doubt
