LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
Section 47 of Presidential Decree No. 1529, otherwise known as the Property Registration Decree, states that "[n]o title to registered land in derogation of the title of the registered owner shall be acquired by prescription or adverse possession."  Thus, the Court has held that the right to recover possession of registered land is imprescriptible because possession is a mere consequence of ownership.[34]

In fact, there is a host of jurisprudence that hold that prescription and laches could not apply to registered land covered by the Torrens system.[8]
