DONE in the City of Manila, this 16th day of October, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-seven. 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.

Such part or parts of the area herein declared open to disposition under Republic Act No. 274 and Republic Act No. 730 in relation to the provisions of the Public Land Act which are being used or earmarked for public or quasi-public purposes shall be excluded from such disposition. Except in favor of the government or any of its branches or agencies, all lands disposed of under this Proclamation shall not be subjected to alienation and encumbrance for a term of ten (10) years from the issuance of title in case of sale, or execution of contract in case of lease, nor shall they become liable to the satisfaction of any debt contracted prior to the expiration of said period except for housing loan purposes, but the improvements on the land may be mortgaged to qualified persons, associations, or corporations.

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.

However, the program was only given inadequate support and funding through the years. Hence, only half of the total countrys cities/municipalities have been finished.

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).

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.

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.

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:

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.

CATEGORY Mun/Cities CATEGORY Mun/Cities CATEGORY Mun/Cities TOTAL Mun/Cities

A Php 2,135,806,160.00 B Php 1,216,632,698.42 Php

106 217

C 14 215,277,140.33 337

Php 3,567,716,000.00

The Cadastral Survey Program of the country started sometime in 1913 with the passage of the Act No. 2259 entitled The Cadastral Act.

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.

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:
