ILOILO City – After more than 30 years, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Region 6 finally acquired a special patent for the lot it is occupying in Fort San Pedro.
The Certificate of Special Patent was presented by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) regional director Jim Sampulna, with Registry of Deeds director Giovanni Miraflores and officials of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) Iloilo.
Director Ro-ann Bacal led the NEDA staff and officials in receiving the patent.
“The NEDA regional office is the first government agency to acquire a special patent in the region,” said Sampulna.
The issuance, according to Sampulna was based on Administrative Order 47-90 which delegated the authority to DENR-PENRO to approve special patents without the need of a presidential proclamation.
“This is all yours, and nobody can squat in your lot,” Sampulna told NEDA officials and staff.
NEDA undersecretary Jose Miguel de la Rosa, who was present during the recent turnover, said it was a milestone in the history of NEDA.
“A cohesive relationship among agencies is important where each one is working for the others, not just for themselves,” de la Rosa said.
The efforts in this started in 1976 and vigorously pursued since then, until in 2009. After securing a copy of the Spanish deed came the proclamation subdividing the former military reserve among the agencies of government.
The area accommodates Camp Delgado, the regional headquarters of the Philippine National Police, and offices of the line agencies, including NEDA.
According to NEDA, compliance to numerous requirements including a series of follow-ups, was a tedious process, and the administrative officers since then had done a good job to realize the dream. (PIA-Iloilo)/PN
