Practice question: Judicial Confirmation of Imperfect Title (CA 141, Sec. 48, as amended by RA 11573)

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A Section 7 certification is offered where no copy of the relevant classification issuance is available. It gives only a vague statement that the land is disposable, omitting the LC map number, project number, release date and NAMRIA-record assurance. The applicant says the new law allows any conclusory certificate. Which is correct?
  1. A bare conclusion necessarily suffices
  2. The applicant’s confidence replaces the required contents
  3. The statutory alternative requires the specified LC-map and project details, release date and NAMRIA-record declaration; the conclusory document is deficient
  4. Any private broker can certify classification conclusively
  5. A tax declaration automatically supplies every omitted item
