REPUBLIC, rep. by MINDANAO MEDICAL CENTER v. CA G.R. No. L-40912 | 30 SEPTEMBER 1976
RATIO:
HELD:
ISSUE:
FACTS:
Appeal by certiorari from CA decision Justice Martin
Eugenio de Jesus, father of private respondent Alejandro de Jesus, applied with the Bureau of Lands for Salon Patent of a 33-hectare land in Davao. Being awarded in a bidding, he deposited P221.00, representing 10% of the price of land at P100.50 per hectare. However, the Director of Lands ordered an amendment on the Sales Application since a portion of the land was needed by the Philippine Army for its military camp site purpose. The area excluded [LOT Whether petitioner Mindanao Medical Center has registerable title over a full 12.8081-hectare land by virtue of an executive proclamation in 1956 reserving the area for medical site purposes.
YES. Petition granted, CA decision reversed and set aside.
The Court held that, by virtue of Proclamation No. 350, then Pres. Magsaysay legally effected a land grant of the whole lot to petitioner, and such is validly sufficient for initial registration under the Land Registration Act. Such land grant is constitutive of a “fee simple” title or absolute title in favor of petitioner.
