This case has been cited 5 times or more.

	GR No. 146548 2009-12-18	HEIRS OF DOMINGO HERNANDEZ v. PLARIDEL MINGOA
In Isabela Colleges v. Heirs of Nieves-Tolentino,[46] this Court held: Laches means the failure or neglect for an unreasonable and unexplained length of time to do that which, by observance of 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 his right either has abandoned or declined to assert it. Laches thus operates as a bar in equity.
	GR NO. 150654 2007-12-13	HEIRS OF ANACLETO B. NIETO v. MUNICIPALITY OF MEYCAUAYAN NACHURA, J.
Laches has been defined as the 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 his right has either abandoned or declined to assert it.[11]
	GR NO. 162037 2006-11-29	HEIRS OF ENRIQUE DIAZ v. ELINOR A. VIRATA CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Laches is defined as the failure to assert a right for an unreasonable and unexplained length of time, warranting a presumption that the party entitled to assert it has either abandoned or declined to assert it. This equitable defense is based upon grounds of public policy, which requires the discouragement of stale claims for the peace of society.[84] Indeed, while it is true that a Torrens Title is indefeasible and imprescriptible, the registered landowner may lose his right to recover the possession of his registered property by reason of laches.[85] However, In the case at bar, laches cannot be appreciated in petitioners' favor.

	GR NO. 144103 2005-08-31	DELA CRUZ v. SABINA MIGUEL CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
The law[30] provides that no title to registered land in derogation of that of the registered owner can be acquired by prescription or adverse possession. Nonetheless, while it is true that a Torrens Title is indefeasible and imprescriptible, the registered landowner may lose his right to recover the possession of his registered property by reason of laches.[31]
