Ancestral domain vs Ancestral land

Ancestral domain includes all areas held under ownership, occupied and possessed by IPs/ICCs by
themselves or through their ancestors, communally or individually since time immemorial, continuously
until the present, which includes lands, inland waters, coastal area, and natural resources situated
therein while ancestral lands are those lands held by IPs/ICCs under the same condition as ancestral
domains but limited to those which are not merely occupied and possessed but also utilized by them
under claim of individual or communal ownership, which includes residential lots, rice terraces, private
forests, and tree lots.

Regalian Doctrine - all lands of the public domain as well as all natural resources enumerated therein,
whether on public or private land, belong to the State.

Valenton doctrine - the State recognizes the right of the occupant to a deed if he proves a possession for
a sufficient length of time, and makes that proof before the proper administrative officers, and obtain
from them his deed, and until he did that the State remained the absolute owner.

Cariño doctrine - long occupancy of land by an indigenous member of the cultural communities is
deemed as one of private ownership, which, in legal concept, is termed "native title."
