Hence, this petition is transmitted to this Office to resolve the ALI
matter under Administrative Order No. 4 Series of 2018.
The issue to be resolved are: 1. whether Lot No. 13068, CAD-800-D
covered by OCT No. 1850/CLOA No. 00100040 was properly covered by
the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program; and 2. whether or not
Elidio C. Bundal may be excluded as Agrarian Reform beneficiary.
After a careful perusal of the records and the issues joined herein,
this Office finds the ALI matter assailing the coverage of the subject
property TENABLE.
Well settled is the rule that once the patent is registered and the
corresponding certificate of title is issued, the land ceases to be part of the
public domain and becomes private property, and the State can no longer
award the same to another. (Charlie T. Lee, vs. Rosita Dela Paz, G.R. No.
