	GR NO. 160990 2006-09-11	REPUBLIC v. SPS. RICARDO B. ENRIQUEZ AND ELIZA M. ENRIQUEZ AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
It should be stressed that a person who seeks registration of title to a piece of land must prove the claim by clear and convincing evidence, and is duty bound to identify sufficiently and satisfactorily the property. Otherwise stated, all facts must indicate that no other person, including the government, will be prejudiced by the adjudication of the land to the applicant. [22]
	GR No. 160145 2005-11-11	REPUBLIC v. PEDRO O. ENCISO CALLEJO, SR., J.
Well-entrenched is the rule that the burden of proof in land registration cases rests on the applicant who must show clear, positive and convincing evidence that his alleged possession and occupation were of the nature and duration required by law. Bare allegations, without more, do not amount to preponderant evidence that would shift the burden to the oppositor.[28]
