    Read/Study the following cases:

    1. Bartolata vs. Republic, June 7, 2017, G.R. No. 223334

    RA 730 was crafted as an exception to Secs. 6124 and 6725 of CA 141. These provisions govern
    the mode of disposition of the alienable public lands enumerated under Sec. 59 of the same law.

    2. Heirs of Ramos vs. Heirs of Frando, G.R. No. 149117, December 16, 2004

    Acquisition of Public Land Through a Sales Patent; Disposal of public agricultural land through a
    sales patent, as in the instant case, is governed by Commonwealth Act No. 141, the Public Land
    Act.

    3. Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. vs. Viray, G.R. No. 162218        February 25, 2010

    No alienation, transfer, or conveyance of any homestead after five years and before twenty-five
    years after issuance of title shall be valid without the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture and
    Natural Resources, which approval shall not be denied except on constitutional and legal grounds.

    4. Republic vs CA, et al, G.R. No. L-60169 March 23, 1990

    A certificate of title that is void may be ordered cancelled. A title will be considered void if it is
    procured through fraud, as when a person applies for registration of the land under his name
    although the property belongs to another. In the case of disposable public lands, failure on the part
    of the grantee to comply with the conditions imposed by law is a ground for holding such title void.
    The lapse of the one year period within which a decree of title may be reopened for fraud would not
    prevent the cancellation thereof, for to hold that a title may become indefeasible by registration, even
    if such title had been secured through fraud or in violation of the law, would be the height of
    absurdity. Registration should not be a shield of fraud in securing title.

    5.Republic vs. Dayaoen, G.R. No. 200773        July 8, 2015

    Requisites for the filing of an application for registration of title under Section 14 (1)

    6.Republic vs. Ravelo, G.R. No. 165114       August 6, 2008

    Under Section 91 of CA No. 141, the "statements made in application shall be considered essential
    conditions and parts of any concession, title or permit issued on the basis of such application, and
    any false statement therein or omission of facts altering or changing or modifying the consideration
    of the facts set forth in such statements . . . shall ipso facto produce the cancellation of the
    concession, title, or permit granted." 

    7.Republic vs. Spouses Alforte, GR 217051, August 22, 2018

    Jurisprudence settles that one of the reservations and conditions under the Original Certificate of
    Title of land granted by free patent is that the said land is subject 'to all conditions and public
    easements and servitudes recognized and prescribed by law especially those mentioned in Sections
    109, 110, 111, 112, 113 and 114, Commonwealth Act No. 141, as amended' Section 112 ofC.A. No.
    141, as amended, provides that lands granted by patent shall be subjected to a right-of-way in favor
    of the Government.

    8.Republic vs. Lee Tsai, G.R. No. 168184        June 22, 2009
