= LAND GOVERNANCE
process by which decisions are made
regarding the access to and use of land,
the manner in which those decisions
are implemented and the way that
conflicting interests in land are
reconciled.
Land policy determines values, objectives and the
legal regulatory framework for management of a
societys major asset, its land.
Of the total Philippine land area of 30 million hectares, 15.88 million hectares are forestlands or protected
areas and 14.12 million hectares are alienable and disposable lands, which are mostly (64.8%) titled and-
privately owned
For instance, with regards to mineral lands, the Philippine Constitution under the
principle of Jura Regalia provides that all natural resources particularly minerals
are owned by the State. On the other hand, under the Indigenous Peoples Rights
Act ancestral domains include mineral lands and thus, the indigenous peoples or
cultural communities have claims of ownership over those lands.
Given the complex legal structure, the Philippine case is considered unique
because the land titling process is done judicially and administratively
Both the DENR regional land management offices and Land Registration Authority
conduct verification and approval of subdivision or consolidation surveys for
titling purposes, which results in two different sets of parcel maps in different
reference systems, and these are not interlinked.

There is confusion over the status and relative merits of various rights in
land, e.g, CLOAs, patents, original Certificates of Title, Certificate of
Ancestral Land Title, and other decrees. For example, a patent is widely
regarded as a lesser title than a Certificate of Title issued on a judicial
decree.
