Homestead Program.

OTHER PROGRAMS:

1. The Land Administration and Utilization Division

(LAUD),

The Land Administration and Utilization Division

(LAUD), through the Chief, Engr. Rolando R. Pablo

spearheaded the conduct of a two-day

Knowledge Management training-workshop on

the implementation of Land Policies and

Processing of Public Land Applications as part of

the continuous capacity-building initiatives of LMB

personnel. This activity was held at the 6th floor of

the LMB building on May 27-28, 2013 and attended

mostly by LAUD personnel and representatives

from other Divisions and Projects Units.

The workshop served as a venue for

strengthening the capacity and leveling up the

knowledge, skills and attitudes of the Land

Examiners, Land Investigators and Action Officers,

in relation to the forthcoming approval of

Rationalization Plan of DENR under Executive

Order No. 366.

Engr. Rolando R. Pablo, discussed the Legal,

Policy and Institutional Framework for Land

Management and Administration. In his topic, he

went over the Major Land Administration and

Management Laws in the Philippines, land

classifications, the concepts Land Management

and Land Administration. He also discussed the

four major government agencies that deals and

have something to do with land administration

and management which is the DAR, DOJ, NCIP

and DENR and their different roles and functions.

The highlight of the activity is the part “A Total

Encounter with the Regions” a presentation of best

practices in Land Management Sector from the

Regional Offices of the DENR. The first presenter,

Mr. Manuel Ydia, Chief, Land Management

Division, DENR-Region I discussed about Foreshore,

Accretion & Reclamation in DENR Region I; Mr.

Ricardo Hernandez, Chief, Land Management

Division of DENR Region III discussed about

Patrimonial Properties; and Atty. Marlou Alutaya,

Chief, Land Management Division, DENR Region

IV-A, presented the LGU-Led Titling Activities in

their Region. Engr. Edgar Barraca, Chief, Surveys

Division, DENR Region IV-A presented the

Cadastral Survey Implementation in the Philippines

(Understanding the benefits derived from it). After

the presentation, the participants were grouped

into three for the workshop on the Revision or

Drafting of Judicial Forms (Deed of Sale/Lease

Contract).

2. National Cadastral Survey Program

|

Cadastral Survey refers to the survey made to

determine the metes and bounds of all parcels

within an entire municipality/city for systematic

land adjudication and Internal Revenue Allotment

and other purposes.

The cadastral survey consists of three (3)

categories: namely, category “A”, “B” and “C”.

Category “A” consist of the establishment of main

and subsidiary controls, the conduct of political

boundary survey and lot survey. Category “B”

consists of establishments of main and subsidiary

controls and conduct of political boundary survey,

while Category “C” is purely lot surveys.

The Cadastral Survey Program of the country

started sometime in 1913 with the passage of the

Act No. 2259 entitled “The Cadastral Act”.

However, the program was only given inadequate

support and funding through the years. Hence,

only half of the total country’s cities/municipalities

have been finished.

Sometime in 1992 with the passage of R.A. 7160,

otherwise known as the “Local Government Code

1991” , the functions of conduct of Cadastral

Surveys, Lot Survey and Isolated and Special

Surveys were among those functions devolved to

the Local Government Unit.

However for almost ten (10) years, not a single

municipality was completely surveyed by the LGU

because of lack of manpower and financial

resources. On August 29, 2001, the aforesaid

functions were returned to the DENR through DAO

2001-23 mandating the DENR to execute, supervise

and managed those types of surveys

aforementioned.

For CY 2012, the conduct of Cadastral Survey is

one of the big ticket projects of the DENR aside

from the National Greening Program. The

government had allotted an estimated budget of

PHP 3.567 billion pesos for the conduct of the

cadastral survey throughout the country. The

complete cadastral survey of the country is a

commitment by no less than His Excellency

President Benigno S. Aquino III that the same will

be finished by CY 2014.

The targets for 2012 and its breakdown are as

follows:

CATEGORY “A” 106

Mun/Cities Php 2,135,806,160.00

CATEGORY “B” 217

Mun/Cities Php 1,216,632,698.42

CATEGORY “C” 14

Mun/Cities Php 215,277,140.33

TOTAL 337

Mun/Cities Php 3,567,716,000.00

For CY-2011, 66 projects with an estimated amount

of 267.722 million pesos under Categories A, B, C

were enrolled to the World Bank through the NPS-

ENRMP. However, only a total of Fifty four (54)

projects were awarded in the amount of PHP

222.603 million. The twelve (12) projects are now for

rebidding.

Decentralization

|

Pursuant to Executive Order No. 192 issued on June 10,

1487 otherwise known as the Reorganization Act of

DENR by the late President Cory Aquino, an

Administrative Order No. 38-A, series of 1990 dated 19th

of April was issued delegating the authority to the

Regional Offices to issue Environmental Compliance

Certificate (ECC) and to approve contracts for

cadastral and public land subdivision surveys in their

respective regions. Due to this Order, Decentralization

project is reborn.

Decentralization is the dispersion or distribution of

functions and powers; specifically the delegation of

commensurate authority from central to regional and

local authority. The main purpose of this project is to

turn over the functions of LMB to its regional offices and

be mainly a policy making body of the DENR.

The activities of the project include encoding

of the inventoried cadastral maps, isolated

plans and lot data computation. Also

included are inventory of land registration

cases and public land applications. These

inventoried and encoded documents are

then transported to the respective regional

offices.

For the calendar year 2012 – 2nd QTR

(CATCH-UP PLAN), the targets are as follows:

Inventory of

Cadastral Data Sheets 188,562 sheets

Isolated Plans 2,700 sheets

Cadastral Maps 2,700 maps

Land Registration Cases 5,400 folders

Public Land Application 7,200 folders
