SOME NOTES ON THE SECOND SEMESTER TARGETS

LAD

The updated LSMS shows a provincial LAD balance of 4,617.5112.

The 352 hectares constituting the target for 2010 came from both workable
(320 hectares), problematic (16 hectares) and unlisted (17 hectares)
landholdings, the latter being remaining portions of previously covered lands
that were reflected in the FOF1, but not yet reflected in the LSMS. (Note:
updating in LSMS is done on a semestral basis with the required process that
involve PARCCOM resoluton, while that in FOF1 is done every month, or as
any new land is accommodated into the scope).

As of August 4, land distribution in Ifugao has reached 38.7998 hectares,

including the 17 hectare-lands that are not in LSMS. This leaves the
provincial team a remaining load of 314.0931 hectares, the details of which
are presented in the attached table from the Operations Division.

It can be noted that of the said balance, a great majority (268 hectares)
constitute a vast track of government-owned lands (GOL) still to be surveyed
and documented. A smaller, but still significant, portion (22.4926 hectares)
requires legal intervention of varying nature e.g. assistance for the isuance
of Owner’s Duplicate certificate of Title, cancellation of mortgage involving
heirs with unresolved and inconsistent birth certificates.

Around 20.205 hectares are pending survey or settlement of survey-related

requirements, while a measly 3.18 hectares are up for CLOA signing and
sealing.

Some things needing focus:

Finalization of survey contract for both new lands and mother CLOA
areas
DARMO-Operations-Legal-Surveyor conference to plan out specific
activities in support of beating the suervey deadline.
Possble tie up with B/MLGUs for assistance in the documentation
Regular feedback sessions for all MAROs, especially those with LAD
targets with special concerns
Communication with DARRO; a point person may be asked if none at
present
Manpower augmentation as may be necessary

PBD
In support of the second semester targets (please refer to the version of PC
with “recalibrated semester 2 target” column), the following initiatives are
being undertaken directly to address the target or to resolve the PINCs:
On liberalized Credit and Subsidy – given the information that the
Central Office will conduct orientation on AO3 and related issuances by
region, the DARPO is finding ways of inviting CO people to directly come to
the province to directly orient DAR personnel involved, together with officers
of Cooperatives, asnd ARBs;

On ARBs trainings – the policy of joint traning identification and

implementaton with CIAs is being more and more emphasized to optimize
technology transfer given the limited time and material resources available;

On Provision of Infrastructure projects/Development Planning – efforts

are undertaken for DAR field personnel to take part in the on-going
Comprehensive Development Plan preparation and updating in certain
municipalities. This is to ensure that ARCDPs, or at least ARC thrusts, are
mainstreamed into the LGU plans. With that, the likelihood of implementing
plans and objectives is seen to improve. Attendant to this is the effort to
address the training needs of the DAR personnel nvolved in development
planning.
