Ensure security of land tenure to encourage investments, and address

bottlenecks in land management and titling agencies.

The issue of securing the land tenure is very important aspect of the development
of our country. This is so considering that land is a scarce resource and should be
allocated for its best use, not only for the present generation but also to forsee and
reserve for the future generation. The security of tenure is very important for a person
or corporation to have that confidence to invest and expect profits from investors. One
of the issues that the present administration under president Duterte is the current
multiple government agencies regulating titling of lands. In our case, we have the
Department Of Agrarian Reform(DAR) regulating private lands and issue certificate
of land ownership award(CLOA) and emancipation patents to farmer beneficiaries of
the comprehensive Agrarian Reform program(CARP). Likewise, the DENR handles
private lands from public to disposable and alienable land under its programs.
POSITIVE EFFECTS:
-holds the rights of the entity or a person to occupy, use, develop and receive the
profits and fruits of the entrprenuership therefrom in agricultural lands.
-regulating agencies can focus more on their sectoral mandates

NEGATIVE EFFECTS:
-property owner or a holder of land rights could be undermined by other agencies
resulting to bussiness lossess.
-will result to disintentive to expand business especially foreign investment
-the regulating agencies as mentioned, tend to protect their mandate concern without
considering the larger in test of the country, in general
-considering that there are many agencies handling surveys and titling lands, there are
numerous instances were a particular land overlaps with the title of land issued by
other agencies resulting to criminal and civil cases
