  • Land Bureau Fasttracks Digital Shift by Malaya Business Insight July 8, 2020
    UPPE PAGE BANNE EDITORI CARTOO 1 R AL N STORY STORY PAG LOWE R Strategic Communication 1/1 08 July 2020 and Initiatives Service Page Date Land bureau fasttracks digital shift By Malaya Business Insight July 8, 2020 https://malaya.com.ph/index.php/news_business/land-bureau-fasttracks-digital-shift/ The Land Management Bureau (LMB) is fast tracking its digital transformation to ensure safe, fast and efficient delivery of land-related services to the public under the new normal triggered by the pandemic. LMB will migrate this year all land records from the manual system to the computerized Land Administration and Management System (LAMS), a computerized information system that consolidates land data and records in the country that is designed for quick and easy processing, tracking and retrieval of land information. Talabis said the agency is also working to digitize the processing of public land application, verification and approval of survey plans and access to land information in order to minimize physical presence in LMB offices nationwide. LMB also targets the full implementation of the Inspection, Verification and Approval of Surveys (IVAS) under LAMS. He mentioned that IVAS would allow clients through accredited geodetic engineers to submit e-survey returns online instead of going to LMB regional offices. Likewise, the system allows geodetic engineers to access and download survey records, including textual and scanned documents of land information subject to LAMS policy on digital land data sharing and security measures but excluding confidential records. LMB plans to provide the public online access to spatial data with plotting feature overlaid on satellite imagery or Google Earth, including adjoining lots, if available.

  • Securing Our Future in a Disrupted World Report from the Third Atlantic Future Forum
    Securing Our Future in a Disrupted World Report from the Third Atlantic Future Forum 20 - 21 October 2020 hosted and broadcast live from HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH at Her Majesty’s Naval Base, Portsmouth, England @FutureAtlantic #AFForum2020 “We like to think of this particular ship of state, like all our ships, as an embassy, an intelligence station and a launchpad for aircraft. Over the next couple of days, it is also a launch pad for ideas.” Admiral Tony Radakin CB ADC, First Sea Lord, Royal Navy 1 Foreword from Lord Sedwill Between 20th & 21st October 2020 I was delighted to chair the third Atlantic Future Forum convened onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth in Portsmouth, UK. Hosting the event had its challenges, especially COVID-19, but I was pleased that this did not deter us from meeting to discuss the challenges of our time. With my thanks to our strategic partners, Microsoft for hosting us so expertly online, and our excellent production team, the Forum persevered. Over 800 people were able to join us online. A fantastic achievement. This year, the global pandemic demanded that we took an unflinching look at what it had exposed and the lessons that we needed to apply to restore the stability, prosperity and sustainability, which had kept us all safe since the Atlantic Charter was signed nearly 80 years ago. Resilience was a key theme and the role of our transatlantic alliance has never been more relevant. The breadth and interchangeability of our partnerships is what gives us a competitive advantage that our adversaries cannot match. This theme also extends across all who we work with, in particular our strategic partners from the defence and technology sectors, who we look to help us keep up with the fearsome pace of change that technology brings.

Cimatu (RTVM / MANILA BULLETIN) This was part of the DENR’s response to a letter sent by the office of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno last Sept. 7, seeking the agency’s clarification on the safety of dolomite to public health. In his response dated Sept. 8, Cimatu pointed out that beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand or sediment to beaches to combat erosion and increase beach width. Beach nourishment, he explained, should be applied in Manila Bay because “Manila Bay is not considered prone to coastal erosion as it is mostly protected by seawalls, but the beaches are very narrow.” He cited that under the writ of continuing Mandamus issued by the Supreme Court on Dec. 18, 2016, a marching order was given to 13 government agencies, including the DENR to spearhead the clean up, rehabilitation, and preservation of Manila Bay “to make it more suitable for swimming, skin diving, and other forms of contact recreation and for protection of coastal communities.” “After dredging and clean up of the Bay, it was agreed upon by members of the different agencies involved in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay that the initial beach nourishment in Manila Bay will be applied in segment between the area fronting the US Embassy and the Manila Yacht Club to mimic a sort of a ‘pocket beach,’ the northern portion protected by the compound of the US Embassy and the south side sheltered by the Mall of Asia compound,” the letter read.

  • Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress
    Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 23, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41153 Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The diminishment of Arctic sea ice has led to increased human activities in the Arctic, and has heightened interest in, and concerns about, the region’s future. The United States, by virtue of Alaska, is an Arctic country and has substantial interests in the region. The seven other Arctic states are Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark (by virtue of Greenland), and Russia. The Arctic Research and Policy Act (ARPA) of 1984 (Title I of P.L. 98-373 of July 31, 1984) “provide[s] for a comprehensive national policy dealing with national research needs and objectives in the Arctic.” The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the lead federal agency for implementing Arctic research policy. The Arctic Council, created in 1996, is the leading international forum for addressing issues relating to the Arctic. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) sets forth a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world’s oceans, including the Arctic Ocean. The United States is not a party to UNCLOS. Record low extents of Arctic sea ice over the past decade have focused scientific and policy attention on links to global climate change and projected ice-free seasons in the Arctic within decades. These changes have potential consequences for weather in the United States, access to mineral and biological resources in the Arctic, the economies and cultures of peoples in the region, and national security.

  • DENR Lifts Suspension on Transpo Permit Issuance for Forest Products, Wildlife by DENR-8 Published on May 7, 2020
    UPPE PAGE BANNE EDITORI CARTOO 1 R AL N STORY STORY PAG LOWE 1/1 09 May 2020 Strategic Communication and Initiatives Service Page Date DENR lifts suspension on transpo permit issuance for forest products, wildlife By DENR-8 Published on May 7, 2020 https://pia.gov.ph/news/articles/1041203 TACLOBAN CITY, May 7 -- With Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy A. Cimatu having ordered the lifting of suspension on the issuance of transportation permit for all forest products and wildlife, the DENR in Eastern Visayas is now gearing up for the possible upsurge of applicants for transport permit and documents for all forest products and wildlife. In a memorandum signed on May 1, 2020, Secretary Cimatu gave the instruction to all Regional Executive Directors of the Department to accept, process and issue transport-related permits or documents for all forest products and wildlife being issued by the DENR. The instruction comes in consideration of the results of the assessment of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) on COVID-19 Recovery Plan which already allows social and economic activities to proceed. However, DENR 8 Regional Executive Director Tirso Parian Jr. reminds everyone to observe precautionary measures so as to avoid the transmission of the deadly disease. “While we will try to accommodate and expedite the process, we shall not also be complacent and lower our guards against the deadly virus as we will ensure the strict observance of health and safety protocols laid down by the IATF-EID and the Department of Health (DoH),” Director.
