Government Data Management

The Philippines to implement new land management system

By Adrienne Valdez | 20 September 2011

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) makes way for the full implementation of the new Land Administration and Management System (LAMS) to resolve pressing land-related conflicts in the country.

According to DENR Secretary, Ramon Paje, “With the LAMS, fights over erroneous data, duplication of records, multiple sources of land information and the like would be minimized.”

To be implemented next year, LAMS will not only computerise land records, scan and encode maps, survey plans and public land applications, but also link land information pertaining to cadastral maps, approved land survey plans, public land application and titles, and would allow the public to have access to these data.

The system is also intended to help the Land Management Bureau and the regional land management services of the DENR in managing land data and other related records.

“With the installation of LAMS in all regional offices of the department, the people can expect not only a more efficient delivery of land services, but also enhanced integrity of our land titles,” Paje said in an official statement.

“We hope to address such perennial problems related to land administration like fake and fraudulent land titles, overlapping of boundaries and graft and corruption.”
