  • 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.

  • Indigenous Peoples' Land and Cultural Rights, 2) the Effectiveness of The
    Republic of the Philippines COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS Consolidated 2017 Report on the Human Rights Situation of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines Chapter 1. Background It has been twenty years since the Philippines enacted Republic Act No. 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 (IPRA), and ten years since the international community adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Conscious of this fact, the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines (CHR) inquires on the current situation of the Filipino Indigenous Peoples and has launched the National Inquiry on this subject on May 25-26, 2017 at Iloilo City, where the first public hearing was also held. The National Inquiry is intended to: • Identify adherence of laws, policies, rules, regulations, programmes, and projects concerning Indigenous Peoples with the standards of human rights; • Settle issues of facts relevant to the human rights situation of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) with focus on the three main thematic concerns: 1) the protection and promotion of the Indigenous Peoples' land and cultural rights, 2) the effectiveness of the current government process to obtain the Free, Prior and Informed Consent of Indigenous Peoples; and 3) the state of economic and social development of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines; • Review the impacts of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 and identify areas of improvement; and • Increase understanding of human rights generally and commitment to better human rights observance through collaborative efforts that the Indigenous Peoples, as rights-holders, and the duty-bearers shall identify through the guidance of the Commission on Human Rights as lead convenor of the National Inquiry.

    MSU-ILIGAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Andres Bonifacio Avenue, Tibanga 9200 Iligan City, Philippines SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES RESEARCH BIBLIOGRAPHY A.Y. 2008-2009 i Foreword Over a span of 27 years since 1981, when we had our first graduates in Master of Teaching Technology, a total of 693 manuscripts in the form of special projects, theses and dissertations, covering thirty six (36) degree programs were submitted by the students as a requirement for graduation. All of the titles, together with the abstracts and other details, are compiled in this Research Bibliography – a concrete evidence of the scholarly efforts of our graduate students through more than two decades of existence of MSU-IIT School of Graduate Studies. The manuscripts, in hard copies, are currently archived for reference at the MSU-IIT Main Library, the School of Graduate Studies and the respective Departments. For a student in search of a research topic, this bibliography can help in a number of ways. It readily informs the student of past researches conducted in the Department, and as such, allows identification of similar research areas that may be of interest. This encourages continuity of the research and helps enhance the strength of the Department in the concerned area of study. Conversely, the student is able to consider researches that have not been done within the Department, but whose study must be undertaken to respond to the needs of time. We wish to express our gratitude to our graduate student custodian in the person of Ms. Cheryl C. Encabo and SGS Student Assistant Mr. Ian G.
