Hi, I would like to request information regarding the process of knowing the owner of our land?

My family lives in Zone-4 Upper Acharon Village, Barangay Calumpang, 9500 General Santos City, South Cotabato, Philippines for almost 28 years now and we plan to have this land titled and registered but the problem is we don't know who the owner is or if there is one. The information we have is the address indicated above and nothing more. How to go about knowing the owner or if this land has owner/s?
May we know the process of knowing the owner? 
Thank you so much for responding.

Response to Request

In connection to your query, you may file a request for Certification for Lot Status to verify whether the property is titled or not or if it has a previous application for titling at Window 11 of the LRA One-Stop Shop of the Land Registration Authority located at East Avenue corner NIA Road, Diliman, Quezon City.

Please refer to the list of requirements for the certification below:

1. Narrative Technical Description / Form V-37 / Lot Description (all clear copy)
2. Lot Data Computation (clear copy) Note: If not available, secure a Certificate of Non-Availability and Re-survey.
3. Blue Print Copy of Cadastral Map with BL Cad Survey No. and BL Case No. Note: If not available, secure a Certificate of Non-Availability
4. Geographic Position and Plane Coordinates (GPPC) of Tie Point
5. Approved Plan (if any) Note: If there is an Approved Plan in Cadastral Map and in Technical Description / Lot Data Computation secure a copy of the approved plan.

Secure the above-stated documents at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Regional offices that have jurisdiction over where the property is located and present this upon your request. 

Furthermore, the certification for lot status (LRA Certification) is one of the requirements for titling through DENR or Court.
