LRA comes in as the agency overseeing the Registry of Deeds, the government office that administers the Torrens system of registration of real estate ownership in the country and judicially confirms and records all land titles in government archives. The purpose of the JAO is to facilitate and coordinate the process of registration of the ancestral domain/land titles issued by NCIP with the other titling agencies: DENR-LMB, DAR, and DOJ-LRA to avoid overlap of titles under the registration regime and comply with section 56 of the IPRA to respect prior, existing rights within ancestral domains/lands. The main concern of the JAO is to prescribe a process for the preparation of the map projection to identify titled lands, which might overlap with CADT/CALTs. This information is only available and under the technical jurisdiction of the DENR-LMB. The JAO covers all land tenurial and utilization instruments that are issued by the DAR, DENR, and the NCIP and the registration thereof by the LRA. The following mandates and jurisdictional limits are given by the JAO to the DENR, NCIP, DAR, and the LRA: For the DENR: Their jurisdiction includes all lands of the public domain including those used for agricultural purposes, the forest zone, timberlands, national park, protected areas and mineral lands. The DENR has the main responsibility for the conservation, protection and development of the natural resources and has the authority to issue permits and licenses for the utilization, exploitation, and management of these lands.
