One of the program priorities of the LMB is the fast tracking of the cadastral survey project in the country. The program is instrumental in efficient patent distribution and accelerating countryside development.
Cadastral Survey involves the survey of the whole municipality/city for the purpose of identifying and delineating the individual claims of all land owners and claimants which will be the basis for the issuance of titles or patents and other purposes. Below is the Summary of Approved Cadastral Cases as of 2011.
PRS´92 is one of the top priority activities of the DENR and is provided for in the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan for FY 2006-2010.
This activity involves the conduct of surveys of all alienable and disposable lands of the public domain in support of the titling component of our DENR-CARP programs.
1. Provided security of tenure over the land they occupy.
2. Opportunities to generate capital or financial resources from lending institutions to finance macro or micro business/investment/livelihood projects.
3. Reduce government expenditures for land conflict resolutions.
4. Enhanced revenue generation/collection which in turn would enable government to provide better services to the public.
Handog Titulo Programs were also conducted throughout all the PENROs and CENROs in coordination with LGUs and the concerned Register of Deeds. This is in keeping with the commitment of the DENR to bring its services closer to the Filipino masses.
