Practice question
A land-registration court is told that all public-domain land is permanently nonregistrable, including agricultural land lawfully classified as alienable and disposable. An applicant invokes the amended confirmation route under RA 11573 and offers to prove all its requisites. Which answer is accurate?
- Every public-domain parcel is permanently excluded regardless of lawful classification
- Continuing inalienable public-use or public-service property must be distinguished from eligible alienable and disposable agricultural land under the statutory confirmation route
- RA 11573 automatically grants every occupant all public land
- Private possession alone converts national parks
- The amendment permits registration of every river without classification evidence
