IN RE: PETITION FOR REGISTRATION AND ISSUANCE OF TITLE FOR LOT 2264, LOT 2270 AND LOT 2271 OF THE HIMAMAYLAN CADASTRE, PROVINCE OF NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, AND MIRIAM DURBAN TAGAMOLILA, FOR HERSELF AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF HER SISTER CECILIA DIMA-ANO,* PETITIONER, VS. REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, RESPONDENT.

G.R. No. 221553 | 2023-01-25

D E C I S I O N
LEONEN, SAJ.:
 
An applicant seeking original registration of public land must present the necessary evidence that it is alienable and disposable. The guidelines in Republic Act No. 11573 may apply retroactively because of its curative nature and the new rights created by its provisions.[1]

This Court resolves a Petition for Review on Certiorari[2] assailing the Decision[3] and Resolution[4] of the Court of Appeals, which reversed the Decision[5] of the Regional Trial Court granting Miriam Durban Tagamolila's (Tagamolila) application for original registration of Lot Nos. 2264, 2270 and 2271.[6]
