VIRAC, Catanduanes, August 22 (PIA) --Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) here launched the first Cadastral Survey Project in the province last August 14, in Baras town as one of the agency's banner program under the the National Greening Program.
Regional technical director for Land Management Services Pedro Noble said the survey will serve as the municipality's basis in the settlement of land disputes, titling of private lots, and finalization of political boundaries.
According to Noble, the municipal government can expect his full support as it will benefit not only the private lot owners but as well as the entire municipality of Baras.
Meanwhile, PENRO Ed Joaquin Guerrero said that he is confident that the project will be successful with the support of the town's officials and as well as their office.
The Cadastral Survey Project in the country started in 1913, with the enactment of Commonwealth Act No. 2259, otherwise known as the Cadastral Act. But through the years, the project has not been given enough resources for its implementation.
In 1992, with the passage of Republic Act No. 7160, also known as the Local Government Code of 1991, the functions to conduct cadastral survey, lot survey, and isolated and special surveys were among the functions of the DENR that were devolved to the local government units (LGUs).
Ten years later, in 2012, it was found out that not a single municipality had completed its cadastral survey due to lack of manpower and financial resources.
This prompted the DENR, through DENR Administrative Order No. 2001-23, to get back from the LGUs the devolved functions to execute, supervise and manage land surveys. (MAL/EAB-PIA5/Catanduanes)
