CHICO-NAZARIO, J. |

| We likewise affirm the finding of the Court of Appeals that the claim of petitioners had already been barred by laches. Laches is defined as failure or neglect for an unreasonable and unexplained length of time to do that which, by exercising due diligence, could or should have been done earlier. It is negligence or omission to assert a right within a reasonable time, warranting the presumption that the party entitled to assert it has either abandoned or declined to assert it.[19] | |||||
