The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Bohol during its regular session last Tuesday passed a Resolution Authorizing Governor Aumentado to sign a memorandum of Agreement with DENR for the implementation of LAMP 2.
The LAM Project an interagency program led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in partnership with the Department of Justice (DOJ), Land Registration Authority (LRA) and the Department of Finance (DOF), was created through Executive Order No. 82 repealing Executive Order No. 129 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It was designed to improve the efficiency and fast track the issuance of land patents, mass conduct of cadastral surveys and improvement of accompanying records.
Provincial Board Member Alfonso R. Damalerio II sponsored the resolution after its Committee Report on government Properties with Board Member Amalia Tirol and Board Member Aster Piollo, whose recommendation for its approval was unanimously approved during its regular session presided by the Vice Governor Julius Caesar Herrera.
The project gave way to LAMP 2 created under Executive Order No. 467, with funding support from the World Bank and Technical Assistance by AusAid. This is the creation of One Stop Shops or OSS. For the populace this would give them access to all the agencies necessary when transacting issues regarding land ownership. This is designed to increase land tenure security and further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the land titling and registration system. It envisions to achieve an efficient system of land administration based on clear, transparent, coherent and consistent policies and laws supported by an appropriate institutional structure.
Bohol has been fortunate to be chosen as one of the pilot areas for LAMP 2 , due largely to the efforts of Gov. Erico B. Aumentado. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan gave the initiatives of the Governor full support.
The provincial government is allocating the land which was previously occupied by the old Bohol Rehabilitation and Detention Center, as the site for this OSS. Groundbreaking ceremonies of which was done in September 14, 2007, this was then followed up by land title distribution by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Hon. Jose L. Atienza.
