The order was issued by DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon. This decision affects environmental and urban development in Metro Manila, as reclamation projects can impact the lake’s ecosystem and flood control. It signals a regulatory check on large-scale infrastructure projects that could affect residents and communities around Laguna de Bay. The halt order is in response to a PRA directive, but specific details on the project scope, timeline, and next steps are not provided in the news item. Residents and stakeholders should monitor official announcements from DPWH and PRA for further updates.

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.

Lacson exposes fraudulent titles on four reclaimed Taguig properties

by

Senator Panfilo Lacson announced on Saturday that four reclaimed properties in Taguig City are covered by allegedly fraudulent land titles, responding to Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s calls for evidence. The titles include OCTs and TCTs covering a total of about 388,308 square meters and will be forwarded to the Ombudsman’s fact-finding team. This matters to Quezon City and Metro Manila residents because fraudulent land titles threaten public trust in property registration and could mask illegal reclamation in Laguna Lake. The case may lead to criminal charges and voided titles, affecting how local governments and agencies manage reclaimed land. The four parcels cover 9,204 square meters (administrative patent, OCT), 5,000 square meters (judicial registration, OCT), 181,077 square meters (homestead patent, TCT), and 193,027 square meters (TCT). Lacson said the documents will be turned over to the Ombudsman fact-finding team, while the Land Registration Authority traces the titles’ history.
