CARPIO MORALES, J. |

Since property of public dominion is outside the commerce of man[39] and not susceptible to private appropriation and acquisitive prescription,[40] the adverse possession which may be the basis of a grant of title in the confirmation of an imperfect title refers only to alienable or disposable portions of the public domain.[41] It is only after the Government has declared the land to be alienable and disposable agricultural land that the year of entry, cultivation and exclusive and adverse possession can be counted for purposes of an imperfect title.[42] |
