Practice question
A land complaint is an ordinary ownership action and not a covered NCIP delineation or cancellation dispute. The parties are from different indigenous groups, and the required same-group dispute category does not apply. Assuming the proper regular court’s other jurisdictional requirements, which conclusion follows Galang?
- The limited NCIP grant does not automatically oust the competent regular court
- NCIP hears every land action involving any indigenous person
- Regular jurisdiction ends whenever ancestry is pleaded
- The administrative body has unlimited civil jurisdiction
- Ancestry automatically turns the suit into a CADT-cancellation case
