VILLARAMA, JR., J. |
||||
| If indeed proven to be forest land, then the land registration court has no jurisdiction over the subject properties.[101] Jurisprudence is replete with cases reiterating that forest lands or forest reserves are not capable of private appropriation and possession thereof, however long, cannot convert them into private property. Possession of the land by private respondents, whether spanning decades or centuries, could never ripen into ownership.[102] | |||||
