    Free Patent OCT issued by DENR


    Issued on: Year 2008

    ISSUE:
    Cruz and his heirs assert their ownership over the disputed land.

    LAW WHERE CLAIM IS BASED:


    Commonwealth Act No. 141
    Public Land Act enacted in 1936

    It is the general law governing the classification, delimitation, survey and disposition of
    alienable lands of the public domain. One of the modes of acquiring public lands under
    this law is by voluntary administrative legalization of imperfect title—more popularly
    known as “Free Patent.” It is intended to legalize the undocumented private land rights
    of Filipinos who are found to be occupying and cultivating such lands for a certain
    period of time.

    EXPLANATION WHY THE CLAIM SHOULD BE AWARDED TO THE CLAIMANT


    The Cruz family’s predecessors in interest have been occupying and tilling 12 hectares
    of land since 1938. The land has been passed from generations to generations.

    On July 9, 2006 Mr. Cruz applied for a Free Patent for their land under CA 141, also
    known as the Public Land Act. After meeting all the qualifications, submitting the
    necessary fees, and paying the fees, they waited for the result of their application.
    Sometime in February 2008, they received new that their application was granted and
    on March 6, 2008, they were issued a Free Patent for their land.

    The Cruz family satisfied all the legal requisites for applying for a Free Patent for the
    land they have been occupying. The approval of their application and the subsequent
    issuance of a Free Patent for the land they have occupied since 1938 is a recognition of
    the title they have acquired over the 12 hectares of land.
