I. Prefatory Statement
The Department of Agrarian Reform is the main agency involved in the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program ("CARP") pursuant to Republic Act No. 6657 (An Act Instituting a Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program to Promote Social Justice and Industrialization, Providing the Mechanism for its Implementation, and for Other Purposes), as amended by Republic Act No. 9700 (An Act Strengthening the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), Extending the Acquisition and Distribution of all Agricultural Lands, Instituting Necessary Reforms, Amending for the Purpose Certain Provisions of Republic Act No. 6657, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law of 1988, as Amended, and Appropriating Funds therefor). DASEac
In connection with the implementation of the CARP, DAR, through its Regional Directors, Provincial Agrarian Reform Officers ("PARO"), Municipal Agrarian Reform Officers ("MARO"), among others, verifies records kept by the Land Registration Authority and its Registries of Deeds; requests LRA and its RoDs to issue certifications and certified true copies of titles and documents; and causes the preparation of documents, deeds, and instruments, which are brought to the RoDs for registration (collectively "CARP-related Transactions").
LRA is now implementing the Land Titling Computerization Project ("LTCP"), which involves, among others, the development of customized application systems, the supply of IT products and services, training of end-users, conversion of titles and documents from physical to digital format, nationwide network interconnection, and rehabilitation and construction of IT-enabled government offices, and which is financed, constructed, and operated and maintained exclusively pursuant to the Build-Own-Operate ("BOO") Agreement dated May 26, 2000 entered into by and between LRA and the Land Registration Systems, Inc. ("LARES") as the project proponent thereof.
Under the LTCP, the operations of the LRA and its RoDs shall be fully-computerized, and all documents, deeds, instruments shall be electronically-registered, and requests for verifications, certifications and certified true copies shall be processed pursuant to published Circulars and Guidelines of the LRA, namely:
1. Implementing Guidelines on Electronic Registration of Land Titles and Deeds, issued on 02 July 2009;
2. Implementing Guidelines on Electronic Registration of Land Titles and Deeds and Processing of Central Office Transactions, issued on 21 December 2010; and
3. Amendment to the Implementing Guidelines on Electronic Registration of Chattel Mortgage and Other Personal Properties, Electronic Recording of Transactions on Unregistered Land, and Electronic Registration of Land Titles and Deeds, issued on 21 January 2011.
With the implementation of the LTCP, CARP-related Transactions shall be processed using the LRA's Philippine Land Registration and Information System ("PHILARIS"), which is the computerized system developed for LRA.
This Joint Memorandum Circular is being issued to guide all concerned personnel of DAR, and LRA and its RoDs on the rules and procedures for the computerized processing of CARP-related Transactions, including the payment of the IT Service Fees arising therefrom. aIEDAC
