LEONEN, J.
In Villacorta v. Ulanday,[127] defendant-appellee Vicente Ulanday admitted that his purchase of a parcel of land covered by a homestead patent was made within the five-year prohibitory period, but argued that since the sale was in violation of law,[128] the property should automatically revert to the state.[129] This court held that reversion was not automatic, and government must file an appropriate action so that the land may be reverted to the state.[130]
