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.

SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.

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.
