	GR NO. 172931 2009-06-18	REPUBLIC v. RTC QUISUMBING, J.
Moreover, an action for reversion filed by the State to recover property registered in favor of any party which is part of the public forest or of a forest reservation never prescribes. Verily, non-disposable public lands registered under the Land Registration Act may be recovered by the State at any time and the defense of res judicata would not apply as courts have no jurisdiction to dispose of such lands of the public domain.[30]
	GR No. 167707 2008-10-08	SECRETARY OF DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT v. MAYOR JOSE S. YAP REYES, R.T., J.
A positive act declaring land as alienable and disposable is required. In keeping with the presumption of State ownership, the Court has time and again emphasized that there must be a positive act of the government, such as an official proclamation,[80] declassifying inalienable public land into disposable land for agricultural or other purposes.[81] In fact, Section 8 of CA No. 141 limits alienable or disposable lands only to those lands which have been "officially delimited and classified."[82]
