PAGADIAN
CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (Sept.16)- Gone are the days when surveying and titling
of alienable and disposable (A&D) lands took a long and tedious
process.
The
Land Management Bureau (LMB) recently launched a new system designed to
hasten the processing and issuance of titles on lands covered by the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The
formal launch of the Land Administration and Management System (LAMS)
highlighted the 115th anniversary of LMB, the agency responsible for
administration, survey, management and disposition of A&D lands and other
public lands not placed under the jurisdiction of other government agencies.
LAMS is a
computerized information system that consolidates land data and records in the
country. The system is designed for quick and easy processing, tracking and
retrieval of land information.
LMB
Director Emelyne Talabis said the new system cuts the approval
of land surveys to five working days from the previous six months to
one year.
It
also guarantees land tenure security for every Filipino, she added.
LAMS
has four components, namely: public land application (PLA); inspection,
verification and approval of survey (IVAS); e-survey plan; and
client-transaction monitoring (CTM).
A
major innovation, CTM enables clients to keep track of the status of the survey
and their application electronically through the LAMS kiosks located in all
DENR regional offices, by text or SMS or via the Internet.
Since
CTM is digital, it eliminates any personal contact between LMB personnel and
clients and minimizes follow ups, thus preventing incidents of
corruption.
The
PLA component evaluates processes and approves land applications. It
provides efficient storage, analysis and monitoring to prevent the issuance of
duplicate titles.
The
IVAS is designed to track the verification and approval process of the survey
at the regional level. It starts with digital submission of survey returns to
digital land survey data (DLSD) generated from e-survey plan.
The
DLSD file is uploaded at the front desk of the regional office and forwarded to
the verification and projection unit to validate the mathematical, textual and
spatial information.
The
e-survey allows the client, through an accredited geodetic engineer, to submit
the survey application online for faster verification of boundaries.
Once
approved, the survey data are saved on the digital cadastral database (DCBD) of
approved surveys of LAMS. The DCDB has the textual information of the lot and
its scanned image. (By Julie Gantes with RPAO DENR 9.)
