Senator Lacson Probes Fraudulent Land Titles in Taguig Reclamation

by

Senator Ping Lacson is investigating fraudulent land titles covering 38.33 hectares of Laguna de Bay in Taguig, with the Land Registration Authority (LRA) now backtracking the history of issued Original Certificates of Title (OCTs). The Ombudsman has also issued subpoenas to the DPWH, PRA, LRA, and Taguig Registry of Deeds to obtain all records. This investigation matters to Quezon City residents because illegal reclamation in Laguna de Bay is linked to flooding in low-lying areas of Metro Manila, which can affect nearby communities. It also highlights potential corruption in land titling that could impact public trust and environmental safety. The LRA is backtracking the history of OCTs to determine how titles were manipulated, and the Ombudsman has subpoenaed records from DPWH, PRA, LRA, and the Taguig Registry of Deeds. No specific dates or public hearings have been announced yet, but residents can monitor updates from Senator Lacson’s office or the LRA.
