LMB SPEEDING UP DIGITAL SHIFT OF LAND-RELATED SERVICES
The Land Management Bureau (LMB) is moving to fast track its digital transformation to ensure safe, fast and efficient delivery of land-related services to the public under the so-called “new normal” triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
LMB is an agency under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that is responsible for administering, surveying, managing and disposing alienable and disposable lands and other public lands not placed under the jurisdiction of other government agencies.
LMB Director Emelyne Talabis said the bureau targets to complete this year the migration of all its land records from the manual system to the computerized Land Administration and Management System (LAMS).
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 of clients and stakeholders at LMB offices nationwide.
“Even before the pandemic, the LMB is already revisiting the processes and procedures under LAMS since its launch in 2016,” Talabis pointed out. “This new normal all the more showed the urgency of our development plans for LAMS.”
LAMS is a computerized information system that consolidates land data and records in the country. The system is designed for quick and easy processing, tracking and retrieval of land information.
