Yes beaches are usually protected lands and cannot be titled.

Perhaps the title may be bogus.

You can challenge them to bring you to court, so they can present their documents, and you can have a fair play.

Gud am admin nakatira po kami sa malapit dagat po and yung kapitbahay namin na nagbenta ng lupa na tinitirhan namin ay kanyang babawiin yung lupa kahit ibenenta na niya then pilit niyang inangkin na sa kanya yung lupakahit sa gobyerno ito at ang ipinagtataka ko is may ipinakita syang titolo ngunit nung ipinagharap kami sa barangay wala syang ipinakita na titolo nuon tas nung pinapunta kami sa district is hindi sya sumipot at ngayon may ipinapakita na syang titolo ngunit ang titolo ay walang tatak na certified true copy oh nagpapatunay na tunay talaga ang titolo dba kapag malapit sa dagat at ari ng gobyerno hindi iyon maanuhan ng titolo? tas siya yung nagbabayad buwis dahil nung kami ang nagbayad ng buwis sinabihan kami sa opisina na hindi kami makapagtuloy sa pagbayad ng buwis dahil hindi pa natransfer sa pangalan namin. Tanong lang po diba bawal umangkin ng lupa ng gobyerno at lalo na hindi ito pwede gawan ng titolo? Ano po ang pwedeng gawin salamat po.

Unfortunately you cannot make changes to the entries of the tax declaration of a timberland as it is government protected…

Yes you can apply for SLUP (Special Land Use Permit) which is a temporary annual permit for you to use timberland under very strict parameters set by DENR and in which you will agree to pay annual rent… Your rent depends on the size of the timberland… The cost to process it is no joke as you will have to undergo several other government offices and you need to make a lot of legworks, and when you get to the part where you will need to hire an experienced DENR consultant to write your thesis plan – the consultation fee could go at least p100k… It was p80k here in the Visayas before the pandemic…

Thank you very much Admin for your immediate response to my query. We will follow everything as you advised in pushing through with the conversion of the Timberland portion of our property. More power to your organization as you’ve already helped and guided a lot of people whose having problems especially with Timberland classified lands.

Sincerely,

Louie

Hi Louie,

Yes you can already process the titling of that lot which DENR admitted and declared as regular alienable and disposable land.

For the portion they declared as timberland – yes the regular procedure to convert it to A and D is through your congressman. For your own safety, I recommend you write the formal letter addressed through your congressman through a lawyer with experience in land procedures. This is not to be suspicious of your congressman, but by writing him/her through a lawyer, your rights will be protected, as we all know some of our politicians are very good in land grabbing. Once you have the letter written through a lawyer, simply have it received by the congressman’s secretary. The previous president Duterte has already trained government officials to respond swiftly from requests of people, thus it is expected your congressman should also do the same. Have a second copy of that letter stamped as “received” by the congressman’s secretary and that copy will serve as legal basis of your request and for you to keep following up with your congressman.

I would like to ask because we have a property with an area size of more or less 3-hectares that we have just recently re-surveyed and gotten the latest Certification from DENR-CENRO in our place which says this:
—————————————————————————————————————————–
“COLORED BROWN) – ALIENABLE AND DISPOSABLE (A&D) LAND, Block-I. Project No. 53, per Land Classification Map No. 2383, certified under Forestry Administrative Order No. 4-901 dated August 9, 1960, with an area of more or less SEXTEEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN POINT FIVE (16, 637.5) square meters.
“COLORED GREEN) – TIMBERLAND, Block-E, Project No. 53, per Land Classification Map No. 2383, certified under Forestry Administrative order No. 4-901 dated August 9, 1960, with an area of more or less THIRTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE POINT FIE (13,875.5) square meters.
—————————————————————————————————————————–
My question Admin is that, for the former which is classified as A&D Land, can we already proceed to the application of Title for such portion since it is classified as A&D? And as far as I can remember during the Inspection and Verification when we submitted the Application of Survey to the DENR, the DENR officer somehow told us that we can also apply for a conversion of the TIMBERLAND Portion to also be A&D classified Land, which details are shown in the latter as above-mentioned, but he said that such process needs to be done in the House of Congress, then later on the Senate and to be approved by the President. If we will apply for the conversion of such TIMBERLAND, as for your own opinion Admin, will it be possible? As for now we are trying to reach the Congressman in our area/district so we could ask him if he may be able to help us with such concern. I will wait for your response and advice to my concern Admin. Thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Louie
