Recipients of free land titles in Davao will increase by as much as one-third this year, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Davao region said Saturday. | |||
The agency's region 11 office is set to issue a total of 6,637 residential free patents in 2012, up by 33 percent from last year’s total of 4,964 titles, DENR Region 11 Executive Director Jim Sampulna said. | |||
These will be issued to residents who have occupied land for at least 10 years. | |||
"We are going full blast in the implementation of Republic Act 10023, and I have already instructed our land officials to closely coordinate with the local government units so that they can inform their constituents about the program," he said. | |||
Last year, the regional office was able to process and distribute 1,332 residential land titles in '''Davao Oriental''', 1,001 in Davao del Norte, 1,429 in Compostela Valley, and 1,202 in Davao del Sur, or a total of 4,964 titles covering some 81 hectares, Sampulna said. | |||
For 2012, the DENR-Region 11 is targeting to distribute some 1,577 titles in''' Davao Oriental''', 1,200 in Davao del Norte, 1,500 in Compostela Valley, and 2,360 in Davao del Sur. | |||
Enacted in March 2010, RA 10023, also known as the New Residential Free Patent Act, authorizes the issuance of free patents on residential lands, including town sites as defined under the Public Land Act. | |||
The law states that any Filipino citizen who actually occupies a residential land for at least 10 years is qualified to apply for a residential free patent title, provided that the land applied for is not needed for public service or use. | |||
The area should also not exceed 200 square meters in highly urbanized cities, 500 square meters in other cities, 750 square meters in first and second class municipalities, and 1,000 square meters in all other municipalities. | |||
Documentary requirements include a plan based on the actual survey conducted by a licensed geodetic engineer and approved by the DENR, technical description of the land applied for, and supporting affidavit of two third-party persons residing in the village of the city or municipality where the land is located. | |||
Applications shall be filed at the nearest Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) of the DENR, which is mandated to process the application within 120 days. | |||
From the CENRO, the land patent application shall be endorsed to the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (Penro), which has five days to approve or disapprove the application. | |||
