  • 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.

No more validation period for 211 titles – Magalong AGUIO CITY – Mayor-elect Benjamin B. Magalong Bunderscored it is improper for the government to grant an extension of the validation period of un-vali- dated 211 titles in the city considering the lapse of the prescribed validation period over three decades ago. The incoming local chief executive claimed the holders of 211 titles in the city were given sufficient time by the government to have their titles validated prior to the lapse of the prescribed validation period thus it is no longer the fault of government if there are still un-validated titles in the possession of certain individuals. Magalong emphasized he will not support the proposed grant of 2-year extension for holders of un-validated 211 titles to have the same validated because it could complicate the situation in some prop- erties covered by the un-validated 211 titles located in the different parts of the city.

These wastes will harm both marine life and divers,” Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu. Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, chief coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response implementor in the Viayas (NTF AGAINST COVID-19 / MANILA BULLETIN FILE PHOTO) Cimatu was referring to the single-use face masks found entangled in the coral reefs of Anilao, Batangas. The DENR chief underscored that while it is vital to follow minimum public health protocols to curb the spread of new coronavirus, it is as important to be aware of each person’s responsibilities to the environment. Household healthcare wastes such as single-use face masks and COVID-19 test kits became commonplace at around this time last year when the new coronavirus first began to spread in the country. “We have coordinated with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to ensure that all international and inter-island vessels, and even fishing vessels, have placed yellow bins for the proper disposal and storage of generated COVID-19 related healthcare waste such as, used face masks, gloves, cottons, tissue papers, and testing kits,” Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units (LGUs) Concerns Benny D.

Araja The Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Tuesday said its solid waste management initiatives are on the right track. DENR Usec. for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda said the recent inclusion of plastic soft drink straws and plastic coffee stirrers in the list of non-environmentally acceptable products (NEAP) in the country is a big boost in the government’s solid waste management initiative. He said the development has made DENR all the more determined to pursue its solid waste management initiatives through the Tayo ang Kalikasan (TAK) campaign. “With the initial listing of these two items in the NEAP, we are all the more encouraged to uphold our mandate and advocacy on solid waste management despite the lingering pandemic in the country,” he said. Antiporda said DENR regional offices have been stepping up their TAK campaign, which primarily aims to enhance people’s awareness on Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 with the end goal of substantially reducing the volume of plastic wastes and prevent these from polluting the environment. Local governments, he said, also support the inclusion of the two plastic items in the NEAP list.
