The Land Management Bureau (LMB) is fast tracking its digital transformation to ensure safe, fast and efficient delivery of land-related services to the public under the new normal triggered by the pandemic.

LMB will migrate this year all land records from the manual system to the computerized Land Administration and Management System (LAMS), a computerized information system that consolidates land data and records in the country that is designed for quick and easy processing, tracking and retrieval of land information.

Talabis said the agency is also working to digitize the processing of public land application, verification and approval of survey plans and access to land information in order to minimize physical presence in LMB offices nationwide.

LMB also targets the full implementation of the Inspection, Verification and Approval of Surveys (IVAS) under LAMS.

He mentioned that IVAS would allow clients through accredited geodetic engineers to submit e-survey returns online instead of going to LMB regional offices.

Likewise, the system allows geodetic engineers to access and download survey records, including textual and scanned documents of land information subject to LAMS policy on digital land data sharing and security measures but excluding confidential records.

LMB plans to provide the public online access to spatial data with plotting feature overlaid on satellite imagery or Google Earth, including adjoining lots, if available.

A database containing authoritative information on cadastral or land survey records, parcel information and titling processes is also being prepared
