LAND MANAGEMENT
SERVICES |
The Department has
responsibility over alienable or disposable lands of the public domain
and lands outside the responsibility of other agencies, such as reclaimed
areas and commercial, industrial, and other urban properties. |
It is tasked to survey,
classify, manage, and administer the disposition of these lands. Surveys
of private institutions and individuals over these lands are inspected,
monitored, and approved. |
Disposition is done
through leasehold, direct sale, and issuance of patents while cases arising
from conflicts are investigated and adjudicated through the regulatory
functions exercised by the regional offices. |
