The Land Management Bureau – Gender and Development Focal Point System (LMB-GADFPS) conducted the Census Survey for CY 2022 at the Barangay Hall, Lower Bicutan, Taguig City, to identify the impact of land titling to beneficiaries of Proclamation No. 172 and determine the areas for improvement with regard to processing of Taguig applications. This activity was attended by LMB GADFPS headed by Ms. Maria Gina F. Pascua together with GADFPS members Mr. Allan B. Macalalad, Engr. Jewel Lyn Templonuevo, Ms. Maritoni Jane Cawaling and Ms. Crizzel E. Timoteo and with the officials of Barangay Lower Bicutan, beneficiaries and potential applicants.

The Census Survey were conducted in three (3) batches: First Batch was on October 19, 2022, Second Batch was on October 27, 2022 and last batch was on November 21, 2022.

Per batch, participants were divided into three (3) groups namely: those who have on-going applications, those who are potentials applicants and those already with land titles. Aside from the positive effect of land titling, the activity also concluded that a lot of women are already empowered under this land titling program because most of them have their names included in their land titles.
