This is the best time to move our nation forward. It is time to correct what went wrong in the past and rebuild with integrity, vision, and unity.

* Let us start by enforcing strict protection of our mountains and forests—cancel all hazardous permits that harm the environment and preserve our natural treasures for the next generation.

* Remove illegal structures built along creeks and waterways across the country to restore the natural flow of water and prevent future disasters.

* Provide swift and fair financial assistance to those in need without forcing our elderly and homeless citizens to endure long lines under the sun. Relief must reach the people directly, with compassion and efficiency.

* It is also time to examine ourselves as a nation and choose leaders who serve with honesty, empathy, and genuine dedication. We must strive to build a renewed Philippines—where every Filipino can live with dignity, security, and hope.

Finally, let every peso of taxpayers’ money be spent wisely, building infrastructures that truly serve the people and uplift communities.

6 Steps Bago Bumili ng Lupa

Step 1
Unang-una basta't dumating yung ahente (real estate agent) o kaya yung may-ari ng lupa at sinabing pinagbibili niya ang LUPA niya, ang UNANG KUKUNIN MO ay yung kopya ng TITULO.

Sapagkat dapat mag-imbestiga ka doon sa REGISTER OF DEEDS. May xerox copy ka ng titulo ng lupa, pupunta ka doon, Kasi malay mo may mga PASANIN (problema) yang lupang yan: nakaprenda/nakasanlamay nagki-CLAIM na iba Dapat makita mo yon. Dapat malinis. Sapagkat yang kopyang yan dapat eksaktong-eksakto doon sa kopya ng Register of Deeds. Hindi sila nagkakaiba. Kaya malalaman mo kung PEKE, may mga PASANIN, o kaya may mga PROBLEMA ang lupa.

Step 2

Kumuha nang Geodetic Engr para mag Sagawa nang Relocation survey sa Mga Boundaries para ma check kong ok ba ang Actual ground wala bang structure or Fence sa Kabilang lot na lumagpas.. Sa Property na iyung Bibilhin.

Step 3

Halimbawa't nakita mo na, na wala palang problema, ok ang ganda, mag-eexecute kayo ng DEED of SALE na tinatawag. Pagka nag-eexecute kayo ng DEED of SALE o "Kontrata ng Pagtitinda", pipirmahan nyong dalawa, nung nagtitinda at tsaka nung bumibili at inonotarized yon.

Step 4
Within 1 month from notarization, magbabayad ng unang bayad. Ang tawag dun, DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. Dapat bago matapos ang buwan ng pagpipirma, magbabayad ka ng DOCUMENTARY STAMPS.

Step 5
Pagkatapos nun, yung nagtinda, sya rin ang magbabayad ng tinatawag na CAPITAL GAIN TAX. Kasi kumita siya, magbabayad siya sa BIR.

At ang BIR ang mag-iissue nung CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY TO REGISTER, isang certification na sinasabi sa Register of Deeds na bayad na yan ng lahat ng mga taxes at pwede mo ng ilipat ang pangalan ng titulo dyan doon sa bumili.

Step 6
Basta nakita mo na yan (CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY TO REGISTER), dadalhin mo yan sa Register of Deeds, yun ang huling yugto. Sasabihin ng Register of Deeds, heto ang huling bayad, Transfer Fees. Pag bayad na yon, hindi masyadong mahal yon, hayan na, kukunin na ng Register of Deeds lahat.

Isusurender na ang OWNERS' COPY ng titulo at maghihintay ka na. At yan kelangan mo ng follow-up. Dahil nga sa Register of Deeds, medyo tatagal yan. Kaya kelangan ng follow-up ng follow-up.

🔍 Why is this important? Unlicensed developers and sellers may not adhere to the legal standards for land subdivision. This could lead to complications down the road, affecting your property's title and your investment's security.

❌ The Risks:
- Illegal conversion from agricultural to residential.
- Small roads, no drainage and utility lines.
- No permits and proper documents from government agencies.
- Unclear property boundaries.
- Title and ownership disputes.
- Limited legal recourse in case of issues.

📌 Our Advice:
1. Always verify the credentials of the seller.
2. Check if the subdivision is authorized by local authorities ergo LICENSE TO SELL.
3. Consult with a licensed real estate professional before making a purchase.

GOOD TO KNOW - KNOWLEDGE 101‼️

🔸️LAND TITLE VS TAX DECLARATION 🔸️

The Difference between the Certificate of Title versus Tax Declaration in the Philippines

🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻
CERTIFICATE OF TITLE
1. A document evidencing a right of ownership to a property
2. A document that attest to the fact that the person named is the owner of the property described therein subject to liens and encumbrances noted on it
3. It is registered with the Register of Deeds of the province or city where the land is located
4.The Certificate of Title is indefeasible and imprescriptible
5. All claims to the land are quieted upon issuance of this document
6. Recorded with the Register of Deeds of the municipality, city, or province where the land is located.

🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻
TAX DECLARATION
1. A document that show good sign of possession only in the concept of owner, not ownership
2. Not conclusive evidence of ownership to property, but only a proof of payment of realty taxes
3. Recorded with the Assessor’s Office of every municipality or city where the land is located

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
Ang pagmamay-ari ng lupa ay napapatunayan sa pamamagitan na hawak na titulo na kung tawagin ay ang Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) o Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT). Ayon sa maraming Supreme Court decisions “the best proof of ownership of a piece of land is the Certificate of Title” (Halili vs. Court of Industrial Relations, 257 SCRA 174 [1996]). Ito ang tinatawag na titulo ng lupa at wala nang iba pa.

Ang "tax declaration ay hindi titulo ng lupa. Maraming Supreme Court decision din ang nagsasabi na "Tax declarations and receipts are not conclusive evidence of ownership. At most, they constitute mere prima facie proof of ownership of the property for which taxes have been paid. In the absence of actual, public and adverse possession, the declaration of the land for tax purposes does not prove ownership." Ibig sabihin nito na ang tax declaration ay hindi siguradong ebidensiya ng pagmamay-ari ng lupa. While tax declarations and receipts are not conclusive evidence of ownership and do not prove title to the land.
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Ang tax declaration ay pwedeng i-apply para maging titulo. May dalawang pamamaraan ng pagpaparehistro ng lupa, ito ay ang sumusunod:

1. Judicial Proceeding – kung saan kinakailangan ninyong magfile ng petisyon para sa registration sa korte.

2. Administrative Proceeding –ito ay pamamaraan kung saan mag-file ng application para sa “Homestead Patent” sa DENR at ang registration ng patent na ito ang magiging batayan para sa pag-isyu ng Original Certificate of Title alinsunod sa Commonwealth Act 141 o ang “THE PUBLIC LAND ACT”.
