REPUBLIC v. BANTIGUE POINT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

This case has been cited 6 times or more.

	GR No. 201614 2016-01-12	SHERYL M. MENDEZ v. SHARI'A DISTRICT COURT MENDOZA, J.
Jurisdiction is the power and authority of a court to hear, try and decide a case.[40] In order for the court to have authority to dispose of a case on the merits, it must acquire jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties.[41] The Congress has the power to define, prescribe and apportion the jurisdiction of various courts,[42] and courts are without authority to act where jurisdiction has not been conferred by law.[43] Jurisdiction is conferred only by the Constitution or the law. It cannot be acquired through a waiver or enlarged by the omission of the parties or conferred by the acquiescence of the court, and may be raised at any stage of the proceedings, even for the first time on appeal.[44]
	GR No. 185092 2014-06-04	REPUBLIC v. CORAZON C. SESE MENDOZA, J.
Thus, the present rule is that an application for original registration must be accompanied by (1) a CENRO or PENRO Certification; and (2) a copy of the original classification approved by the DENR Secretary and certified as a true copy by the legal custodian of the official records.[16]
	GR No. 163767 2014-03-10	REPUBLIC v. ROSARIO DE GUZMAN VDA. DE JOSON BERSAMIN, J.
This doctrine unavoidably means that the mere certification issued by the CENRO or PENRO did not suffice to support the application for registration, because the applicant must also submit a copy of the original classification of the land as alienable and disposable as approved by the DENR Secretary and certified as a true copy by the legal custodian of the official records. As the Court said in Republic v. Bantigue Point Development Corporation:[43]
	GR No. 174626 2013-10-23	REPUBLIC v. LUIS MIGUEL O. ABOITIZ MENDOZA, J.
Anent the first requisite, to authoritatively establish the subject land's alienable and disposable character, it is incumbent upon the applicant to present a CENRO or Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) Certification; and a copy of the original classification approved by the DENR Secretary and certified as a true copy by the legal custodian of the official records.[17]
	GR No. 192289 2013-01-08	KAMARUDIN K. IBRAHIM v. COMELEC REYES, J.
In Republic v. Bantigue Point Development Corporation,[37] we stated: The rule is settled that lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter may be raised at any stage of the proceedings. Jurisdiction over the subject matter is conferred only by the Constitution or the law. It cannot be acquired through a waiver or enlarged by the omission of the parties or conferred by the acquiescence of the court. Consequently, questions of jurisdiction may be cognizable even if raised for the first time on appeal.
	GR No. 195097 2012-08-13	REPUBLIC v. MARLON MEDIDA REYES, J.
The present rule on the matter then requires that an application for original registration be accompanied by: (1) CENRO or PENRO Certification; and (2) a copy of the original classification approved by the DENR Secretary and certified as a true copy by the legal custodian of the official records.[28] Medida failed in this respect. The records only include CENRO Certifications on the subject properties' alienability and disposability, but not a copy of the original classification approved by the DENR Secretary and certified as true copy by its legal custodian.
