NARVASA, C .J:

On January 12, 1989, Loh Kuan Fatt filed with the Regional Trial Court of Makati a petition to be admitted as citizen of the Philippines. 1 After due proceedings, the Court rendered judgment on February 28, 1990, granting the petition. On behalf of the Republic of the Philippines, the Solicitor General appealed that decision to the Court of Appeals, but without success, the latter affirming the Trial Court's decision by judgment promulgated on March 23, 1993.

The Solicitor General is now before this Court praying that both decisions be overturned as being contrary to law and applicable precedents.
