Facts:
Lao filed before the RTC of Tagaytay City application for registration of a parcel of land. She allegedly acquired the land by purchase from the siblings Raymundo Noguera and Ma. Victoria Valenzuela who inherited it from Generosa Medina. The latter, in turn, inherited the land from her father, Jose Medina, who acquired the same from Edilberto Perido by transfer. She prayed that the land be registered in her name under Commonwealth Act 141 (Public Land Act) based on her and her predecessor-in-interests’ open, public, actual, continuous, exclusive, notorious and adverse possession and occupancy under bona fide claim of ownership for more than thirty (30) years. She presented witnesses and evidence constituting of deed of sale, survey plan, the technical description of property and tax declarations in her and her predecessors’ names. The court approved the application. The petitioner represented by the Solicitor General appealed the decision before the CA which re-affirmed the lower court decision, hence this petition for review before the SC. The petitioner contends that there is no sufficient evidence to warrant the issuance of the title to the respondent as she fails to comply with the required periods and acts of possession mandated by law and her failure to prove that the land is alienable and disposable land of the public domain.
