Lacson: LRA Checking Land Titles Linked to ‘Suspectedly Illegal’ Reclaimed Land in Taguig City

The Land Registration Authority (LRA) is now checking the origin and history of several uncovered land titles covering some 38.83 hectares of illegally reclaimed areas on the Taguig City side of Laguna Lake, based on the materials provided by the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) to his office, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said.

“I requested them to backtrack the history of the issued OCTs (original certificates of title) and other modes of titling, so we will find out how they were manipulated with the end in view of filing criminal charges against those responsible,” Lacson said.

Lacson: All Unpermitted Reclaimed Areas in Taguig Subject to Forfeiture; DPWH to Halt Ongoing Projects

All unpermitted reclaimed areas in Taguig City, whether belonging to the local government or to private individuals or entities, are subject to forfeiture in favor of the national government, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson stressed Monday.

Lacson said this was made clear by officials of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) to him and his staff, as well as with officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

“All reclaimed areas that did not apply and secure permits from PRA are subject to forfeiture in favor of the national government. There is no distinction, whether those reclaimed areas belong to the LGU of Taguig or are titled under private individuals or corporate entities,” he said.
