-CORTES, Bohol- The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) in Bohol urged members of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP Bohol Chapter) to initiate a local government-led land titling program as potent source of revenues.
+BOHOL- The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) in Bohol encouraged all local government units in the province to set up their respective Public Titling and Land Information Office and to create the Cadastral Council in preparation for its comprehensive public land titling program.
-Bohol PENRO Nestor Canda informed the mayors in a March 15 league meeting that around 100,000 lots in Bohol had been parceled and most of them are untitled.
+Bohol-PENRO Nestor Canda in a regular meeting of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines-Bohol chapter on March 15 told its members that DENR administrative order 2011-06 prescribes the guidelines for LGU-led Public land titling.
-“Several of these untitled lots are actually residential and are right in the heart of towns,” Canda said and added that untitled lots indicated low economic activity.
+The same LGU responsibilities are inset in a Department of interior and Local Government (DILG) Memorandum Circular 2011-117 signed by Secretary Jesse Robredo.
-The PENRO explained that untitled lots can not be made as loan collaterals hence, fewer investments and slower economic growth and less job creation opportunities.
+According to Canda with the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform program funds usable for the public land titling program until 2014, he enjoined the mayors to come onboard and have a partnership with the local DENR.
-Canda noted that for towns with poor tax collection they usually do not get the most realty tax revenues from untitled lots.
+Canda assured the local executives with technical assistance and urging them to craft an executive order creating the local titling program, an office and an adjudication team.
-These results to tax arrears that constraints LGUs to collect taxes from their constituents thus, hampering local budgeting and income, Canda stated.
+Such entails LGU provision of manpower and resources, the setting up of a Land Information Office which is tasked to facilitate information exchange and the creation of the Cadastral Council, Canda explained to the League.
-He told the mayors that the situation also breeds poor social services and more poverty issues.
+According to Canda, under RA 10023, DENR is tasked to accept applications, process and approve or adjudicate untitled public alienable and disposable lands.
-“Not to mention conflict between and among family heirs, clans and neighbors squabbling over boundaries,” Canda shared.
+“There is the need to improve land administration at the local levels. We engage you all (LGUs) to participate in the program with DENR’s technical assistance in the onset of locally facilitating land titling in the LGU’s jurisdiction,“ Canda told the members of LMP-Bohol.
-Campaigning for support to the government land titling program, Canda said World Bank funded the Land Administration Management Project (LAMP 1 and 2) that had been terminated but the DENR saw possible funding from the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program funds which ends in 2014.
+The PENRO added that this program requires LGU to name a permanent local government official to the position as Deputy Public Land Inspector whose appointment is to be concurred by the DENR.
-To impress upon the mayors the economic potentials of LGU-led titling program, Canda informed the local executives that in its LAMP heydays, Bohol distinguished herself with the biggest number of distributed land titles.
+With a string of assistance services in facilitating the mandate on land titling, DENR stakes a partnership role with LGUs, Canda said.
-DENR-CENRO information officer Glicerita Racho added that the learning in putting up LGU-led land titling has become a national template.
+According to the PENRO a title issued to a person who has been residing on a parcel of land assigns him to the lot forever and that motivates him to pay the taxes religiously.
-“The Maribojoc-led Land Titling program has earned the town the Galing Pook Award for Innovation last year,” Racho told the mayors.
+“With a titled lot, the owner can now claim it as his/hers and he can begin to think of its development and this constitutes a step towards economic activities and more income to the local government,” Canda explained.
-Racho added that while DENR is mandated to process land titling even beyond LAMP, she encouraged the LMP to set up their respective LGU-led titling and land information programs because it has all the potentials for increase tax revenues and an orderly documentation of all land information stored at the Municipal Assessor’s Office.
-Racho also pointed out that most LGU concerns are land related: real property tax, business and building permits, natural resource share, solid waste management, urban development and housing as well as environmental protection.
-“Just think of how many conflicts  and issues can be resolved in issuing land titles,” Canda concluded.
