New Davao Lawyers

The IBP Davao City Chapter will hold a one day Orientation Program on June 3, 2011, at IBP Building, Hall of Justice, Ecoland Davao City.

After inquiring, I was able to know that this is going to be a whole day activity. The program will start from 8:00 A. M. until 5:00 P. M. I was informed by Ms. Cecil that they have invited speakers from various government offices, such as the NLRC, BIR, DOLE, SSS, Office of the Ombudsman, and SEC for the orientation. Information about the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) and the application for notarial commission shall also be tackled during the orientation.

For more information, please call the IBP Davao Chapter at 2960070.

Land Registration Authority Online Tracking System

If you're asking why the Entry and Other Fees of the Registry of Deeds have gone up, it is because they are now fully computerized.

The Land Registration Authority has launched its new website equipped with an Online Tracking System. There is also a list of the IT Service Fees available in their website while the LRA Fees page is still under construction.

This is a very good move for the Land Registration Authority. Aside from the transparency of their fees, we can monitor our transactions with our local RDs without ever leaving our offices and homes. Before, the Registry of Deeds in Davao City would always be jam-packed with people who follow up their transactions. Now, you can simply log in and key in some information and you will get the status of your RD transactions.

The Registry of Deeds of Davao City has a new building and better system. I can see our taxes moving.
