DAGUPAN CITY -- Several local
government units (LGUs) in Pangasinan have issued resolutions to locate the
exact lines of their areas of jurisdictions, and help ease long time disputes
over political boundaries in the province.
The cadastral survey
of Urdaneta City has led to resolutions among and between its neighboring
municipalities, like Sta. Barbara, Laoac, Malasiqui, Binalonan, Manaoag, and
Asingan.
The municipal
assessors of these municipalities attended the presentation of the survey
result.
“The approval of
cadastral survey plans is significant in the issuance of free patents covering
agricultural lands as well as residential areas, including special patents for
various government properties like city/municipal halls, public markets,
plazas, school sites, hospitals, parks,” Region-1 office of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-1) Executive Director Samuel Peñafiel
said.
The assessment of
boundaries is in response to DENR Secretary Ramon Paje’s directive to all DENR
field offices to fast-track the implementation of cadastral survey projects
nationwide.
Peñafiel pointed out
that around 12,000 free patents are targeted to be processed and awarded to the
bonafide claimants this year in various parts of the Ilocos Region.
